I figured i could return it if it sucks, but my initial impression is that it sounds more natural than most ak4490 dacs i've heard. This is Through an SMSL THX amp and a Sunrise III with LPS.
@treboR most are sabre from what I've seen apart from this and the DX3 pro. Topping is a stupid brand name, but the sound is quite good. I bought it mainly to counter my bias.
they also use Cirrus in the d30. It sucked. Would clip on hot bass notes, no headroom. Maybe mine was defective. At least, I could return it. No more dodgey chifi for me.
Didn't say I was a convert to anything, dude. But I don't have a problem posting on any site if I can give someone info on a product I own. Just how I am.
