I thought I was happy with my iFi Go Bar - I still am But the new G5 from Topping is even better Not that portable as iFi Go Bar but with very good SQ.

Comes at the same price point (300 EURO). 1/2 price (roughly) compared to other DAC’s with the same specification.

Works fine with Roon (after installing drivers), IPad Pro, iPhone 11

PS: I don’t have any connection with the company

Looks like a work of art. Could be my next portable, but I think I still have some time to spend with my Hugo2.

Thank you for the post. I really need a portable device and this is the perfect price and specs for me. It looks like an excellent product

The NX7 amp had pretty good reviews and G5 amp part is mainly NX7 with a bit less power @32ohm.
I wonder how G5 will pair with Arya Stealth.

All good, we're extremely happy how GO Bar turned out given its size and it's cool knowing that you still like it. Enjoy

Hi there,
looking for a portable dac/amp and right now the g5 looks pretty good. Will it be a good match with my hifiman xs? How's the bass? Ive read that its kinda bright and analytical. I also found a nice deal with a used ifi xdsd. Should i choose ifi instead cause of the xbass-warmth?

 

[Dopaminer]

Yes, there's an aux in/out

Aux in/out is usually analogue, no?
Which is exactly what I want to know: can the dac be bypassed and the G5 used only as an amplifier? I'd like the keep the sound sig of the CS dac chips in my DAP, but get that much power in a portable.

@TRHH How do you mostly use is it?

And how is it carrying it around, I guess its difficult to pocket?
