In this post, we’ll walk through how the FiiO K13 R2R and TOPPING DX5 II approach signal conversion, output behavior, and day-to-day usability—and where each might fit best in a desktop system.
Not sure why this post seems to indicate topping dx5 ii doesn’t have peq…it does, and it works really well.
Sorry, I missed this comment for some reason, but I’ve flagged it to the team.
Love the Blog post! Is there a similar one covering the K13 versus the Warmer?
Thanks! It doesn’t look like we have one for that comparison, but I’ll let the team know and see if we can get one up. I did read quite a few comparisons elsewhere, and I think most people prefer the K13 unless you enjoy the more ritualistic experience that tubes provide.
Tubes? It’s all about the needle. How can you “move the needle” if there’s no needle?
