Product Information

I was going to describe how to set up Foobar2000 in this review but in the end, it needed too many screenshots. In the future, I may try to give you a brief setup guide, after I have used Foobar longer, found more issues, and hopefully learned how to correct them.

Another convertor with a wall wart power supply! This one has an LED display with a volume control. My general impression in the Mozart Prague Symphony recording was that it was finding the elegance in the recording that left most of the others standing. It was the most believable of the convertors that I heard, with the possible exception of the Halide Bridge, which shared some of its characteristics. The sound of the strings was large, solid and timbrally refined. When I listened to the 'Dance of the Tumblers' on the Weiss DAC202’s FireWire output against it, the Audiophilleo managed to separate the texture of the cellos and basses better, where FireWire merged the two sections to a greater extent. The soundstage of the Audiophilleo was a few yards (metres!) deeper. LEGENDARY SOUND EXPERIENCE FROM KLIPSCH AND THX - The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Speaker System pairs the legendary sound of Klipsch audio with the revolutionary THX experience, filling the room with incredible sound for gaming, movies, or music The other great thing about USB is that it will be here for all time. It is so prevalent in computer world that it has no chance of dying. So what’s in the box? The DAC IC is the ESS ES9018K2M. Unlike the more familiar ES9018 multichannel part, ESS chips with the K2M suffix are low power two-channel parts designed mainly for mobile use. Their measured performance is not as good as the multichannel chip of the same call number. That being said, somehow Topping has achieved much better performance than is typical with the ES9018K2M. When examining the board, nothing looks very different around the DAC when compared to the lesser performers we have tested using the same chip. The D10 has high-quality opamps and power supply components but I do not see any mystery magic parts. Whatever Topping does to achieve the performance I found in the D10 is magic.Our review of five USB-to-S/PDIF convertors invokes digital religion, Noel Keywood says. Rafael Todes listens in supplication. With the new S/PDIF Bridge from Halide Design, it is possible to get a high resolution, ultra low jitter digital audio signal straight from your computer, with a single, plug-and-play cable. USP: Optional battery power supply, entry level 32/192 capable converter with proprietary USB drivers. Adaptive. Note all these spectra are with a Hann window for the best resolution of noise and distortion. The absolute level of the tones varies slightly with frequency using the Hann window. For flat frequency response, you want a Flat Top window, but you trade resolution. The first spectra should show 20mVRMS or -34dBV but shows 18.9mVRMS instead. I marked the correct values of the amplitude on all the spectra plots correcting for the Hann window. Note the full scale signal (0dBF) is 6dBV (2VRMS). When I use a -40dBFS digital signal, which is 1/100 the voltage level, output drops to 20mVRMS (-34dBV). This is the 6dB difference from the digital signal in dBFS and the voltage output in dBV

This USB power unit supplies 5V at 1A to a USB line by breaking the power connection from the computer and inserting itself with an in-line adaptor plug – a neat idea. Rafael used it with the Halide Bridge convertor and felt they worked well together. The most fascinating thing was that sound had better resolution, but at the same time, was so much smoother and fluid. Usually, it is another way round. Very often we try a new component or a cable and at first are fascinated by improved resolution, only to find out a few days later (after we had X-rayed all our recordings), that the increased resolution brings listener fatigue and makes the listening far less enjoyable. With Foobar, all the distortion and noise issues I was seeing with Groove Music went away. Every spectrum I show below had to be replaced flushing 20 hours of work with the image preparation (I did not sign up to do graphics, the print magazines had staff, but this is what web publishing is like). Next time I will listen to Carlo when he tells me something. Foobar is still a little flakey. It will mute at times if the computer is busy doing other things. It can mysteriously open a window when you’re looking to confirm a setting. It also completely froze once requiring a system restart. Finally, I changed the sampling rate of the noise to 192 k samples/sec in Figure 17 and repeated the Jurgen Reis test. Essential Connectivity & Control - Get setup and listening in seconds with the included cables plus Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming of your favorite music and podcasts.Windows needs to have an ASIO audio driver installed, such as the free ASIO4ALL. This worked for us on Windows 7, but not on Vista. It is said to work on XP but we did not try it. Up to 24/192 can be played through this driver. One of the recordings I used most often during those tests, was 'La Spagna' by Atrium Musicæ de Madrid and Gregorio Paniagua ( BIS-CD-163) - a fabulous recording of XV century music. This recording has lots of percussive instruments - triangles, hi-hats etc and was recorded in a very lively acoustics and makes spotting for differences much easier. When my last SPDIF Windows 7 native computer died I was forced to switch to modern USB implementation as Windows 10 computers don't seem to come with a native SPDIF output.

The demand for a particular Usb To Spdif is a good indication of its ability to perform the functions for which it was designed. If a product has been around for a while and still has a high demand, it is likely a good product. (3) Material We have more than one piece of paper here. The European safety CE mark shows conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. Two CE conformance documents in the figure apply to different standards but the photo is too fuzzy to see which document is certifying what standard. As seen from pure measurement point of view, there was no case where USB was worst than S/PDIF. Indeed the reverse was true in that S/PDIF was noisier in some DACs. So the default assumption that somehow S/PDIF has some advantage over USB is simply false.

How Do You Buy The Best USB To SPDIF Converter Audiophile?

Let’s start with the engineering part first. I haven’t seen another USB/SPDIF converter, designed with this level of attention to details.
