I just bought D50S from Aoshida-HIFI Audio Store Aliexpress. They gave me 195 USD price. (-: A true bargain!
Hello,
is this D50 a lot better than D30?
Now I have d30 and looking something better...
regards
Simon
Thank you.Based on specs D50 is definitely better but not everyone may be able to tell the difference. A decent set of amp and headphones may be needed for A/B tests I think. D50 model is newer, has a volume control from 99 to 0db (can be used as pre-amp) which is great.
I preferred it over D30 mostly because of other factors, such as smaller size and 5V input for portable solution. You can easily power it from a portable 5V bank and it will play for many hours. Plus 9038 Sabre chip is extremely detailed and has sonic advantages over older chips. Just my .02.
Yes. I am using Audirvana Plus, which is really very good. The user interface isn't quite as polished as it could be, but it plays all formats, including MQA and all the DSD formats as well.Is anybody using the Topping D50 straight from the PC USB output, with Windows?
With which program?

OK... I am using my Topping D50 as the default audio device for Windows. That means ALL sounds from Windows 10 are being routed through my D50. All you need to do is choose the D50 as the default sound device for Windows 10. So when I play Youtube, or watch a movie, or anything else, the sound comes through the D50 and into my DarkVoice and out of my headphones.Apparently Audirvana and Foobar are players. This is not really what I'm looking for, even if I could use any of them.
What I want is a way to play ALL audio from my PC through the external Topping, if possible bypassing whatever is not essential from Windows to play the audio.
Any idea what I could use for that?
