Topping DM7 8-Channel DAC Audio Science Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Topping DM7 8-channel USB DAC. The DM7 is simplicity in itself as you can tell from its rear terminals: USB input is the only one provided which is just fine with me. And seems trigger support is becoming standard in Topping products which is nice. 1/4 connectors are used to save space so you need to get adapters for your XLR cables or better yet, XLR to 1/4 as I use. EDIT: remote control is...

SMSL HO100 Audio Science Review (Headphone Amp)
This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL HO100 balanced (input) stereo headphone amplifier. It was sent to me by Aoshida Audio and costs US $149. The HO100 matches its companion DO100 DAC. Switches feel nice and so does the volume control. While 4.4mm penticon connector is provided, its output is no more than 1/4 HP jack (so it is for convenience, not power). What is unusual and welcome at this price point is inclusion...

Audio science review SMSL DA-6 stereo desktop class D amplifier.
This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL DA-6 stereo desktop class D amplifier. Ah, what a pleasure it was to unpack the DA-6 and see this nice thin packaging! That niceness extends to the back, fixing one of my main complaints with compact amplifiers: Instead of stacking the binding posts on top of each other and thereby making it very difficult to put large binding posts, they are lined up horizontally. This allowed me to connect my locking banana...

Audio science review SMSL DO100 DAC
This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL DO100 stereo balanced DAC with Bluetooth. Sorry about the fuzzy front panel picture. It looks better in person. The rotary control makes it nice to adjust volume. Back panel is the usual affair but with USB-C connector instead of the usual Type B: Nice that AC adapter is built into the unit so you don't have to worry about a dongle. The usual SMSL remote control is provided. SMSL DO100 Measurements Let's start with...

Topping D90SE Measurements (DAC) State Of The Art.
Topping D90SE Measurements (DAC) Hi folks, I just got my hands on the mighty Topping D90SE and wanted to share my objective analysis. Some might wonder what would be the point to post this, when we already have a complete test at ASR, with our host's skills and his APx555... Well, at least three reasons, I would say: 1) I need an undisputed reference to set the benchmark for my further gears analyses. 2) That way, I am curious to find if I may...
