Topping Dacs D-50, DX-7, and DX7s

These things are dirt cheap and getting some hyped up talk. Can change the filtering ect ect and uses the top Sabre dac chip, not pro.

Holy cow! For $249 the new challenger climbs into the ring and scores a quick knockout  and threatens the big boys! The only thing missing is an extra 0 in the price! Look out Shiit!

The only thing missing is snob appeal! Now where is that extra 0 in the price?

Yep, I think it was around 2012 when I starting getting in these affordable highenders, removed the chassis, and said to myself "it won't be long now". Important thread George!!

You guys think it’s better than the Modi Multibit? They don’t indicate if the 5v power supply is included and no mention of how many amps.

It’s got almost the top ESS dac’s one for each channel I believe, someone said this,
"D50 and D7s use 2 x ES9038Q2M - ie one chip for each channel."

But as far as doing Redbook goes, I’m for Multibit still, but if you want to do DSD then this is hard to pass up, especially on Massdrop for $199 when they appear, I say now you'll need a trigger finger on the buy now button.
