17:14 love how everything on the desk takes flight for 0.4 seconds

You don't need touchscreen on portable dacs if you are going bluetooth mode or even control media on your phone once you are fully connected through bluetooth peripherals, you can control media functions with a smartwatch.

Hmm.... G5 vs Mojo 2 in terms of pure sound quality? Can anyone with both, or has experienced both offer their opinion?

I bought it day 1 of release. This thing kicks so much ass! I listen to my iems and headphones on it everyday! Highly recommend buying this. Sound quality 10 out of 10

I like how the Fiio Q7 just enter and assert dominance on everyone. It's like one of those memes that no matter how good you are at something, there's an Asian kid that do it better, but you're also an Asian kid.

How everything bounced on the table when you slammed it was just perfection man. I was like 😮 This is why Zeos is my go to youtuber. Don’t change my guy.

Thanks Z, for android users recommend Tasker, very powerful app that allow do much more with your phone, including messing with volume rocker. I set it up to change tracks like all DAPs: hold volume down to next track, hold up to last but you can set whatever you want e.g. use double/triple rocker press, power or other button of your phone and tons of other posibilities and use cases. Its not flawless and little complicated for first time but it so convenient after. Dont have this unit but planning to buy one, think its a nice upgrade after btr5.

What about the NX4 ? NX4 DSD ? Had basically everything other than BT. Wonder how they would compare sound wise, though I suppose this should shit on it. EDIT: It also has a bass boost :P

What about the nx4? One of the first bits of gear I purchased and I still enjoy it! Peace

I too bought the NX4 based on your review of it some years ago…. I still have it and love it. Micro usb connectivity is a bit of a pain though

Didn't Topping do the whole NX series? I had the NX3 and it was great for me.

Probably most powerful and clean mobile head amp out there, total overkill if you will use IEMs, these for a niche people, people who had HD800s, or Dan Clark headphones , who want to walk around the house listening music; yep very few people... wait! . that's me!, bought mine 1 month ago, lol.

I was wrong.. TOPPING made this back in 2015 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mqimh8SQps25c2g.html

How would I use a G5? As a portable D+A90 stack. Duh! That's why it doesn't have next track and pause buttons. Because, it ain't on those other units they make, either. It's to give you reference sound quality that you can take with you. It's not meant to be cleaver or fancy. Like all chinese hifi, it's all about the sound quality. Everything else is an after-thought. That's how you know something's chifi. Measurably awesome sound quality, and no frills. It's a thing in this industry.

I'm close to pulling the pin on this, would be perfect if it has a tiny screen showing battery level. Seriously topping. Sort this out asap. 😂

For remote control just use a separate Bluetooth remote. Keep the dac/amp in your pocket and change tracks with the remote. I don't do this but I know a few users of these type of devices do.

The way topping does product releases, ill wait for next more refined portable. And LOL at the brick you plonked down on the table at the end!

It wasms my heart to know that Zeos has a cat in the house again

Does it expand a bit if the depth of the soundstage

I wish Klipsch would go back to making headphones, because I like their sound. I have their true wireless and its not bad, but its no what their headphones used to be.

How's it against Xduoo xd-05 Plus in terms of power and sound quality ? Looking out for Hifiman Edition XS

I bought a pair of those HP3s and thank you for that Zeos!

Zeos...are you kidding me? How dont you know that Topping had a whole badass line of budget Hi-res portable amps before they went ALL IN the whole desktop amp blitz the last THREE years??? THEYRE EVEN SOLD ON AMAZON FOR TOPPING'S SAKE. Look it up, most of us had Topping amps because they were cheap and were good for the money you paid outside buying something from Fiio. How haven't you seen the NX3, NX4 and NX7 before? YOU LATE...YOURE ON TIME OUT RIGHT NOW!!

NX4: Am I dead to you?

Wow such a good videos. Never thought I'd have such a good time with dac jokes.

the G5 is truly excellent. not all that far behind my main system !!

I haven't finished watching the review yet, but... I can't find a battery level indicator _anywhere_ on mine. It sounds great, but I get so frustrated not knowing if I need to charge the damn thing or not.

14:10 Ah yes, AKG Dac‘s. My favorite

qotsa "Better living through chemistry" is one of the best songs to listen to with audiophile headphones.

I'd like to get a detailed sound comparison between the G5 and the BTR 7

Didn't Topping make the NX4 DSD? It's been a while.

The TRI Starlights on this thing are insane. It's like im in outer space. Also highly recommend the sennheiser hd 560s. It sounds like a 1000 dollar headphone. It is surreal.

17:13 - 17:20 Legendary response 😂😂😂😂

You should purchase a Sound Blaster G6x and compare it to the Topping. If only to prove that measurements mean nothing. The G6x measures great.

I own the HP3s and got them for almost f'ing free off headfi. They are fine nothing great. A fun deep v sound signature with solid bass quality/impact. Easy to drive and really no nonsense. Tight sound stage and the mids/vocals are super recessed and not a very technical headphone. I really only listen to it with "party" music and perhaps 2% of my listening time.

Fiio Q7 or Topping G5?

@Z Reviews - K9 ESS < A90+D90? (audio quality perspective)

Relax my dude, that track skip will probably be on the next gen.

This got a glowing review at audiosciencereivew too, with measurements to back it up. This thing is seriously impressive.

Yard Sale @17:15

Bluetooth (good to have it as an option) is never used by me. I'm lovin cables.

It’s an absolute travesty that Klipsch stopped making those headphones

Measurements tell you that designers are not all equal.

Hey man I want a powerful dac for my sennheiser hd 650.should I go for it, or is there any alternative. Plz help I'm new to this hobby

Would this drive a Sennheiser HD 650 with no issues?

Hello. Will there be a review of quloos mub1?

Are you kidding me ... Their first portable? C'mon man. Do a little research.

Is there a reason to get this instead of a MUCH smaller Btr5 or btr7? Besides the ability to charge while using it.

This competes with ifi micro signature. Blows gryphon away.

Is that panel actually glass tho or is it nasty clear plastic like on the Gryphon?

Xudoo balance still very good and I would only change it when the pro comes out

If it sounds good it can't measure that bad.

This guy is funny and annoying 😅

How g5 going to fit with audeze lcd2 classic?

Do your dekoni nuggets bleed black dye into the brown leather of the headband? Wondering if they all do it or if I got a crap set.

So the button thing, the same as 99% of remotes for DAC'S when blue toothed dont have controls. my car which is ten years old can change tracks ???

cant wait to see the topping Z5 with he touch glass. they pair well with monarch mk2?

Great vid as always, but why would someone buy this over a btr5 which is half it's price?

Q5S TC..old skol got play pause next wutever..modular amp too

Many reviewers say doesn't play loud enough?

The battery is definitely better than BTR7 battery life. I can barely use it and it's about dead within 2 hours.

Is it enough for powering HE6SE V2?

I am a "noob" here. If you are buying a slim small battery powered DAC/AMP, and you are worried about size. What headphones are you connecting to that thing while you are "on the go"? Are you bringing your giant $2,000 headphones in their custom case with you to connect to your DAC/AMP that is the size of a whiskey flask? Thanks.

Did fiio launched a btr17 ?

I love your fucking reviews!! 😂

Ehy zeos, the change track function on the gryphon was added months ago

topping g5, ifi go bar or cayin n3pro for sound ?

Can you get mqa out of an android phone through usb c to an mqa dac?

So did someone make the gif?

Yahoo they did make portables before. NX series. Pls dont have Alzheimers z.

Looking forward to the G-$pot version... should be FuN¡!😂!¡

"How do you switch tracks" I use my apple watch 😅 Who's the waifu BTW ? Need sauce for research purpose.

Intel started it!!!

If I would use device I would use it 85% streaming with USB cable sitting down and the rest with Bluetooth.. I use Bluetooth device cliped to my shirt and not to carry this huge thing around and about😆😆✌️🙋‍♂️

M17 wont fits..Q5S does.

G4 can’t compete

Z does not believe measurements, lol, it is ok, it is his thing, but human ears are a very lousy devices to assess quality of sound, cognitive biases run rampant. We have very precise electronic devices which can do much better job, and that is common in many areas.
