I hope they announce a version 2 of these soon with a single cable design.

Thanks, very helpful. I will post my results.

I have this weird problem with my DAC and I think it may be down to the stock PSU (wallwart) I'm using. Could it be something else?   Basically I have my DAC/amp combo (Topping D3) connected via USB to my Windows 7 PC. Occasionally, when the boiler turns on or a mains switch is switched on or...

Could you tell me which PSU you got for the D3?

Has anyone attempted to remove that annoying LED ring around the volume knob? It's really bright and unnecessary.

Quote: Not sure if this is simply because I'm used to it now, but I noticed the bass became more punchy and alive after around 20 hours of burn in. Sounds fantastic with Kanye West's new album Yeezus and Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest. The punch is there when you need it and the detail is...

I'm enjoying my D3, but I don't really think I'm in a position to review it as I have ATH-M50 headphones which don't even require an amp, and my only previous high end soundcard was an Asus Essence STX. However I will say it sounds better than my STX, but not by a big margin as the STX had great...

Quote: Also just noticed the CWH model is the only white model listed on Audio Technica's official Sri Lankan website. They don't sell the normal WH model with the grey earpads, only the complete white eidition:   http://www.audio-technica.com.sg/product_types/monitoring/ (It redirects...

Ah, makes sense. Then I think they are legit because the build quality is 100% spot on from the pictures you posted. Do a search for fakes and you will see the differences in build quality. If these are fakes, they are the best fakes ever made. Also did you check for the 125B sticker on the...

Quote: They look legit, the build quality is spot on. However, the earpads are white and they should usually be a medium grey. I'm not sure if they are legit. Maybe new models come with white earpads? Also open them up and see if you can see the 125B sticker. You should email Audio...

So mine arrived a few days ago. Haven't had enough time to test it fully yet as I've been busy, however initial impressions are very good. Build quality is impeccable.    Will post a slightly more detailed review in the coming days.

Hi, these do actually look fake. The gap between the A and the T is actually normal, you can even see this from Audio Technica's official website: http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/download.asp?FileName=ATH-M50.jpg   However, what points to fake is the build quality. Genuine ATH-M50 have...

Our lord Yeezus uses the M50s. http://kanyewest.com (mirror)

I emailed Topping for some more info and how it compares to the D2. Here's what was in the reply:   DAC + Headphone amp improved Uses a modified SOLO schematic D3's supply voltage is 45% higher than D2's, for better performance and could easily drive a high impedance headphone. USB now...

Quote: Which exact card are you using? Can you show us a pic? What connections are you using from your soundcard to connect to the amp? If you're using the headphone connection on your soundcard which is already amplified and then connecting it to the Magni, this may be an explanation as to...

Have you see this thread? http://www.head-fi.org/t/666845/topping-d3-june-2013-release-dac-headphone-amp   Topping D3, just came out this week. DAC + Headphone amp, has nearly every input under the sun. For $200.

The new topping D3 was released just 2 days ago. Can be purchased on ebay for $200 inc delivery.   http://www.tpdz.net/produce.asp?id=29 (run it through Google Translate)   I'm tempted to purchase it but there seems to be very little information at the moment as it's just 2 days old.  ...

Is there anything better than the Audioengine D1 around the same price range that also has optical /digital and USB inputs?

I know this thread is old. but it seems unanswered and I would also like to know if these are a good match.

Hi there.   I'm thinking about getting the Ultrasone HFI-580, but before I go ahead and purchase them I would like to know if there is anything better  within the same price range.   I like to to listen to clear, detailed sound, but I also like deep, powerful bass (not overpowered or...

Quote:   Thanks, but is this the only way to to get bitperfect? I'm assuming I won't be able to get bitperfect with games and other apps?  

Do I need to run any plugins with foobar2000 for bitperfect with the Fiio E7 on Windows 7? I've heard that the Fiio E7 doesn't require any additional plugins.   If it does require plugins, how can I achieve bitperfect with games?   Sorry this is all too confusing for me. I've looked...

Hmmm, these seem like the perfect earphones for me. I had the CX300 for over a year now, and the wire has given in so it basically doesn't split the two ear pieces (not very practical!) Anyway, I've being doing a lot of research for my next purchase and went for the Klipsch Image S4. which is a...
