My DAC is using a double linear PSU (very well insulated), one PSU per AK4497 chip and absolutely well designed, the DAC is fully symmetrical.
With this AC / High frequencies filter it is better now regarding Drmordor module.

In front of the power supply of the dac I put a TNT-TTS self-made power cable, it sounds better

Oh, in Europe Topping is €120 cheaper than SMSL M400. They are too close in quality, I would go with Topping too.
I hope you will like the sound and please report OK?
I have a diy audio usb isolator (because when i turn the light tube neon ...the dac lost the signal...)and the dac double ak 4497 is recognized, every other time by the pc... but with the smsl m300 no problem...whithout isolator :confus:
In the 21st century, the DAC no longer plays a special role ... Alas and ah ...
I use a simple, Amanero company ...
This is more than enough ...
mplifiers cannot "sound" by definition ... 🙂 It's like a battery - when you turn it on, it's warm, when you turn it off, it's cold ... It shouldn't be visible, but it should be warm.
The amplifier should not distort the original signal ... That's it ... 🙂 All your suggestions about the upgrade are a bluff .. If the speaker system gives more than 1% distortion, then it doesn't matter what kind of distortion your amplifier gives ... 0.1% or 0.5% ... I like reading fairy tales from Muscovy ... 🙂
Hi,
Here my quick review after a 3 days listening test.
VS DrMordor Module :
- 3E Audio With OPA1612 sounds great and still have a good sounstage. But
it definitely lacks consistency in the sound compared to the Drmordor module. The Drmordor is much more dynamic, more "organic". The bass drops lower and medium + high are better as well. Regarding the soundstage, the amps are equal, it is very precise and we find "the signature of the TPA3255" which remains, to my ears, the most holographic chip on the market. Regarding the quality of the case, and its fan, the 3E Audio is really well made, the fan is pretty noiseless, can't ear it at all.
Another important point, the Drmodor is more powerful at equal volume ... PFFB + best PSU (LLC) on DrMordor make the difference....
VS AIYIMA A04 (black PCB Tilear 2.1 with OPA1656)
- concerning the overall listening, I think that we are rather on amps of the same range, I found the 3E Audio a little less "alive" than my AIYIMA but I think that the OPA1656 are there for something (I did not test the 3E Audio + OPA1656). They perform almost equally but the AIYIMA is using a TPA3251 chip, so it's not necessarily very comparable.
On the other hand, I found the AIYIMA quieter, especially when I stream in BT (APTX HD via my DAC), it is less sensitive to interferences, it does better than Drmodor and 3E Audio in this regard.
Conclusion :
For less than $100, the 3E Audio TPA3255 is good amplifier, well made, well designed and interesting overall.
If you are really looking for the rolls of the TPA3255, go for a Drmodor, a Jlester or even an XRK Audio, we know why we pay more for them)
We do not play in the same class!

Complete nonsense ...
I use two such amplifiers: https://www.amazon.com/Amplifier-TPA3255-4-Sound-High-Power-Speakers/dp/B08D7QL9MW less than 50 USD
Two microcircuits on one board ... Four BTL channels.
Acoustics three-way, one amplifier per speaker
different frequency ranges.
It is possible to use these amplifiers for a four-way speaker system ...
Powered by MW 200-36. This is more than enough.
After Amanero, the signal is split into three bands through the Behringer DCX 2496.
