At $75 including shipping (albeit on Massdrop), it is also price competitive with other such converters.Let's get into measurements and see how it does. As usual, if you are not familiar with what these graphs are, refer to my tutorial on understanding audio measurements:MeasurementsFor my first test, I used the RME ADI-2 DAC as the test bed. Asrock g31m-s service manual. Performance there was identical whether I used RME ADI-2 DAC's own USB input, or going through Topping D10 to drive its S/PDIF. This is high praise as it shows that the USB implementation in Topping D10 is very good. Alternatively it could be that the S/PDIF input on the RME DAC is excellent when it comes to jitter and noise reduction.So I went the other way and pulled out the Schiit Modi 2 Uber.
From prior testing I know that its USB input leaves something to be desired. Let's see how it did with its own USB input versus Topping D10 driving its S/PDIF.
As we see, there is no reduction of distortion or noise whatsoever. The mere connection of USB cable to Schiit Modi 2 Uber, even when using S/PDIF, causes its output to substantially degrade.The broadening shoulders on our 12 kHz tone remains there in either case indicating a DAC clock source (inside Modi 2 Uber) that has random jitter.ConclusionsThe Topping D10 makes a nice little USB to S/PDIF and Toslink converter for legacy DACs. And for improving DACs with poor USB implementations. Then again in the latter case, you might as well use the DAC inside the Topping D10 as it is likely to perform even better!-As always, questions, comments, corrections, jokes, etc. Are all welcome!-If you like this review, please consider donating funds for these types of hardware purchase using Patreon , or upgrading your membership here though Paypal.
People will dispute results of listening tests easily. Your ears aren't good enough. You cheated and turned up the volume. You didn't use real world situation. Your equipment is not good enough.
Spdif To Usb Cable
What you used to level match messed up the sound. My ears say different, etc.Besides, the objective data is needed regardless. The three-way comparison was specifically asked about elsewhere as consumers are routinely facing which one of the Schiit low cost DACs they should buy. Right now they assume if they pay more, they get more. Let's see if that is true.Longer term I am working on better mechanisms for blind testing of headphone amplifiers. There are things I can do there that I can't do with DACs.
