>>103221527>DACs:>* Topping d10s, E30, E30 II or E30 LiteWhy is Topping shit recommended over the better, cheaper SMSL DACs?
I set up Moode on my Pi3A with a Topping D10 USB DAC but I get a lot of latency and there are definitely stutters during playback. Is this a common thing or is something wrong? I attribute the latency to Wi-Fi connectivity, but does this introduce stutters as well? I thought most streamers use Wi-Fi?
What is the absolute most cheapshit setup I can get that still measures well with minimal EQ?Kind of like the HD58x or Moondrop Chu of speakers, if you will.
>>103221531topping is the innovator.smsl steals topping's IP and floods the market with imitations.
>>103223164Last time I checked, improving upon something and making it objectively better makes it far more than an "imitation".
$70 mr4 and $120 local brand 12" sub get you this!?
>>103221531They're both chinkshit garbage.
>>103223261i agree. apple dongles work just fine. if you spend more than $10 on a dac, youre wasting money
>>103223261I do the repairs. I do the modifications. And I never call chinks for anything.
>>103223164They're both ChiFi. If SMSL's offering are of good quality then there's no reason not to go with SMSL. If SMSL cut corners to make more profit then by all means skip them.
>>103221527What's the difference between speakers and studio monitor? Don't they both try to be flat anyway?
>>103223261Sorry boomer, not buying your double-digit SINAD shitbox in the year 2024 just because its le "made in murica hurr durr"
