I have the D10s but even in person it is well nigh impossible to tell well functioning DACs apart in subjective listening tests. So judging through a RU-vid audio is when harder. Which did you like?
Ah. Now I have a D10s and a UCA202. Which should I use to listen to this RU-vid video? My mission - should I accept it - is to compare the video of tchappy's UCA202 though my UCA202 versus my D10s; then the video of the D10s thought my UCA202 versus my D10s. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am happy with my UCA202 but that topping d10s sounds so open and clean I need to get one. What is your take? How big is the difference in person. I am curious to see a PC → Topping D10s → cheap Chinese amp → Monitor Audio Radius 90 setup.
