I also have no problem in Windows using Foobar WASAPI Event.

Yeah I'm also using Windows

what's the difference in push and event? Which should you use?

I am using macOS High Sierra and I can't play DSDs. I sent email to Topping support.

It seems like they are close to the same thing, but Event is more stable.

WASAPI can be used in push and in pull mode (event style).
A couple of asynchronous USB DAC’s had all kind of problems using push mode due to buffer problems in WASAPI.
This has been solved by using WASAPI – Event style.
The audio device pulls the data from the system.
EVENT is probably your best bet.



If you configure Foobar right (WASAPI exclusive mode) you will have automatic sample rate switching.
Hence the setting in the Win audio panel shouldn't matter as you bypass the Win mixer.

Volume control: part of the USB audio protocol is volume control.
It is possible you send volume control commands to the DAC when using the Win volume control.

My review of the DX7 Pro is now up:

nice review, did you try playing DSD files in Mac ? Audirvana? did it work ?

 

[Cat Music]

Does anyone know what the current competitor of the DX7 Pro would be?

Sadly I don't have access to try it with a Mac, but it works fine in Windows with DSD as per my previous post. Sorry I couldn't help more.

What do you mean by competitor? In features, or sound?

The Singxer SDA-2 has some similarities but does not have 4.4mm balanced output or bluetooth input.

I meant the sound, I wouldn't want to buy a DX7 Pro knowing that I'd be missing out on something

Burson Conductor 3 sounds better, I have listened to both. But C3 costs more.
Perhaps THX AAA amp + good DAC would sound better.

Do you mean an SMSL SP200 + DX7 Pro? It could be an interesting combo

 

[Marutks]

Besides SMSL SP200 there is also "Monolith by Monoprice THX AAA Balanced Headphone Amplifier" and Massdrop THX AAA 789.
Monoprice amp is slightly improved version of Massdrop THX AAA 789.

I think monoprice amp + Topping D90 DAC would be fantastic combo. But then you have two boxes instead of one. And no remote control for sound volume.

nice combo, it hurts that the D90 topping has not yet been officially presented, although this year we will see it ...
