Just wondering why a raspberry pi wouldn't work as a direct streamer, you'd have to use volumio, roon or one of the free alternatives? The sampling rate and format displayed by D90SE are the sampling rate and format of the input signal, and D90SE will not change the sampling rate and format by itself. On the M500, when MQA is played, it will be PCM playback at first and will switch to MQA after 3 to 4 seconds.

Repeating the same anecdotal story and personal experience over and over again doesn't make it true.

Having read this thread, I am still not completely sure if I can fully use the Toppings MQA capabilites when using the Node:s output. HPs : V-Moda M80, Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro, Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro, Sony MDR XD300, Kef Space One, Focal Listen, Thieaudio Phantom, Hifiman Deva(BT). The product has been energized continuously for a long time since it arrived, but I hardly feel the heat generated by the main unit.

Desire to learn and share knowledge of science required as is 20 years of participation in forums (not all true). Super annoying needing two or three pieces of expensive gear these days, super keen on the RPi4 route. As with more recent Topping products, it uses TRS output for balanced output instead of XLR which takes up a lot more space.If you have any feedback, suggestions, or problems with the courier of your shipment, please feel free to submit a support ticket via the "Contact Us" button below. When I had the 2i and the D90SE, the whole thing behaved as I described above over coax - all MQA tracks were processed first by the 2i and then by the DAC and showed therefore on the DAC as "OFS". In this mode, DSD signal will bypass the DATT Soft Mute and 02 Modulator to provide you a pure/direct DSD performance. Also, I don't have an issue running more through the TV and then to the E50 but I'm trying to maximize performance while keeping it simple for my wife and kids.

When I set Audio settings of Node to using external MQA DAC, E50 starts to show 2 times lower sample rate (like 96 Khz in first case and 48 Khz in second case), no MQA sign also. I don't need to do a controlled double blind test, I can tell you right now I will not hear a difference between the Topping D30Pro and Audio-GD NFB-11. im testing new configs with the unit, i wasnt able to use it in preamp mode as i need the bitrate display, but i did reconfig brightness levels, filters settings, and auto off.This also makes E50 suitable for applications: high- fidelity PC-HIFI system, mobile phone/tablet OTG, CD player/turntable external DAC, digital broadcasting external DAC, TV DAC and so on. We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. The E50 offers top-of-the-line decoding via USB with the XMOS XU216 2nd generation 16-core processor. Pour le reste, le dac Topping E50 est un bon DAC, avec une reproduction correcte des extrêmes basses aux quasi-ultrasons, sans distorsion repérable, même à haut niveau (proche du 0db, contrairement à ce que j'avais pu constater à haut niveau avec mon DAC précédent Aune S6 qui distorsionnait ponctuellement sur certaines hautes fréquences telles 13. The USB input also uses a CPLD to process the clock signal and thus considerably reduce the jitter level.
