Hi Mike,
Thanks for answer.
Here i came:
My gear is a raspberry 4 with Moode, to wich is connected an usb hard drive and via usb a topping E50 in DAC configuration. E50 is connected to my Onkyo NR 646 in “Pure Audio” via RCA cables, in order to ‘jump’ Onkyo’s pre and dac.
No other componente were added other than E50 that substitute an E30 that i enjoyed so far.
Moode is used excluding everything , in the simplest configuration, no equalization, no resample.
After listening E50 , since i dont have E30 here at moment, i connected directly Raspberry to my Onkyo, via HDMI, in pure audiomode, to listen again the same pieces and compare the sound.
Well, something is different to my ears. I find the E50 like somewhat innatural at higher voices tone or instruments. Oh , i forgot my speakers. They are a couple of floor standing Focal Chorus.
Now iam letting E50 working from yestarday, continuosly, and in few days, its should be ready for another test, i suppose.
