Need advice on the use of FIR settings on the DX7s. Received this a couple of days back and the settings of the FIR from 1-7. Can someone enlighten me on the settings. The manual don't really gives much info especially for non-audiophile like me.

Just received my DX7s. Is there any different in using the 6.35mm or the balanced output? All my headphones are using the 6.35mm plug. What's the FIR button on the remote do?

not much apart more driving power on BAL, imo.

Has anyone else had issues with USB cable compatibility? I can only get my unit to work with the stock cable provided but not any of the higher quality alternatives I have tried (at least 4 other known good cables). I've also tried using with both Windows 10 Desktop, Laptop and Mac mini and Macbook Pro. Only the cheap stock cable seems to work properly with all sources tried. I've actually had the unit for about 9 months and have just lived with it but it's starting to nag at me again. I did reach out to Topping but got little assistance. I can't even locate a firmware file to try updating to. Any thoughts out there?

Can someone share his experience using the DX7/DX7s as pre-amp? Thx.

Do you mean as DAC only feeding a full audio system?

I mean to connect the DX7s to a power amp instead of pre-amp or integrated amp.

I know in theory it works but wondering how good it is.

I have run my outputs directly to a Krell 300i, a BK AVR 507, and an Anthem MRX 1120. All work and sound great.
Except for initial testing, I don't use the headphone output

Is there a way to disable line out on the Dx7s ? Thx.

You can set it to HP only, HP + LO or LO only

There's an option on the remote to disable the line out.

Sorry I noticed you are using integrated amp.

I mean if I can directly connect the Dx7s to a poweramp and use the Dx7s as pre-amp (i.e, volume control).

I don't think so. But I'm have never tried it that way.

Of course you can.

Though it will depend on three things:

1) Sensitivity of the power amp input.

2) Volume output range, particularly if it can be attenuated down to zero

3) Having or not having a remote control. I'm not sure if the Dx7 has one.

Okay, so after four (probably unnecessary) computer restarts and taking the whole thing apart, it started working again? When I plugged it back in after having it disassembled, I noticed that the sample rate on the display read "---kHz". The whole time it was not working it was stuck at "44.1kHz" even though it shouldn't show a sample rate when it's not connected to a PC. Sure enough, once I reconnected the USB cable the sample rate display updated as you'd expect and it once again was being recognized by the PC. Very peculiar; I'm guessing it fully losing power caused it to reset whatever was going on to make it frozen in the way it was. I don't know what version of the firmware this shipped with, but I'm going to update it now.

I'm experiencing the same issue. It will stop working out of sudden and sample rate will fix/freeze. Only way to make it work is to power off and reconnect usb. Did you find a solution to it? Optical is fine. Thanks
