Tripath H2 DAC Amplifier - The Miniature Of Complexity (Part 1)

If you're not follow my blog yet, perhaps you might wonder what amplifier that I am talking about. So please read on here here and here. This is Tripath TA2024 amplifier from Topping. I did upgrade the components and add the DAC from TDA1543 into one casing. The goal when making this amp is make the sound just like a F5 amplifier. It is sound good by the way, but not close to the F5 yet. So, recently after I do testing the H2, I am fully confident that adding it will improve the sound.

Fiio M3K Vs. iPhone 5S Vs. iPod 5th Gen

The good things about technology is they become cheaper each year. And if we are talking about digital audio player (DAP), today DSD player can cost about US$70 only. But do they compromise the sound quality? I will figure it out with this new Fiio M3K along with the others DAP sound quality which price higher at the time they released.
