- PC via dedicated USB C Audio out.
- BT 5.0 from Android and iOS devices.
Outputs from DAC:- XLR Balanced Out to JBL LSR310S sub, then XLR to JBL 305P Mk II monitor pair.
- RCA Out to XLR (1 In : 3 Out) Balanced switch, then:
a. Drop + THX AAA 789, which was a good purchase in 2020. b. xDuoo TA-20, needed max volume w/ the Topping DAC, but V1 had assorted issues... c. SMSL SP200 THX AAA-888, currently evaluating. Set to XLR Input (Up) / Low Gain (Down), this seems 'louder' and 'more natural' to me than the Drop + THX AAA 789, using the 4-pin XLR 'Balanced' (ahem, 'Dual-Mono'...) out, with the following Headphones: DT 177X 32 Ohm impedance (rated down to 5 Hz), Closed Back HE400i 35 Ohm (20 Hz), Open Back DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm (5 Hz), Semi-Open DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm (5 Hz), Closed HD 6XX 300 Ohm (10 Hz), Open HD 58X 150 Ohm (12 Hz), Open I am currently evaluating the Fostex T50RP MK3 (planar) Semi-Open headphones, connected to 'unbalanced' output, and so far, the output sounds great.
