Thanks for posting this. I have the Toppong D50 and considering to buy ZidooZ9s, but i dont know how should i connect it to the dac. How did you do? With the optical output? Another question i have, how good is the interface performance when managing music storate? Fluent enough? Thanks!
Zidoo to topping connected using USB cable. The USB cable on the Zidoo must plugged to USB 2.0 ports. The audio (raw) will be passthrough using USB cable to the DAC. But you need 3rd party music player. For this, I prefer USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP), can be purchased on Google Play. Interface performance is hit and miss, storage sometimes needs to pluged out and in during playback (not so often). For me, it is still usable. This also the case for movie playback using external USB hard drives. I also use cheap wireless keyboard&mouse for navigation. The navigation is fluent enough for me, with or without keyboard. If you want, try UAPP on your phone, connect your phone to Topping using USB cable and see if you like it or not. The sound should be the same compared to Zidoo with D50.
