I use the Apple camera kit (cck3) to power my D10 no problem.

 

For sure. Any charging or connectivity issues? Which optical cable are using? Helix processor?

Absolutely no connection issues! Toslink cable is nothing special... I think I got it from monoprice. Yes dsp.3 but it also works just as well with my minidsp too.
You’ll need lightning cable to cck3 and then I think it’s a a-c usb to the d10 and then toslink to your dsp.

 

It is with later cck3, it’s a small doctoring of the leads for connecting the topping to the cck3 and you are away 👍🏼

 

I bought a $12 generic CCK on Amazon to use with a generic toslink. Works perfect into toslink on Match UP 7DSP, while it charges my iPhone.

 

I use an Anker PD USB Hub that works with Android, Apple and Laptops.

How do you connect everything with this hub

 

iPod gen 7>apple cck> USB power>Topping d10s>optical>Helix V8. No problems and the best starting signal I've ever had.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but the D10 in this setup is only there to convert the digital signal from USB to optical correct? Are there not devices that can do this without a built in DAC? Seems like a waste to have the DAC and not use it.

 

I am looking for a similar setup. I want to remove my hu and all analog connections.

So the dsp powers on with the source from the phone?

I don't need any other power sources? Amps, dsp etc will get on when I play the music?

I was looking at using the below;

Mini XMOS XU208 USB DAC Decoder Audio Converter Coaxial Digital Interface DSD256

Douk Audio Q2 is a USB DAC & digital interface (USB to coaxial converter), adopting high-end chip architecture to achieve much better sound quality than the similar products in the market

No the dsp will need either an ignition feed or a 12v switched feed of some kind to switch on, there is no auto switch on for a digital in on any dsp I’ve ever seen, it’s normally from analogue input that this works 👍🏼

 

Since I use an android phone, I have been on a hunt for a good otg cable with charging. Anyone has any reccomendations? I tried a USB hub, but it seems to be not working.

 

Thank you very much, it's pretty clear now.
With fixed output there is no sense. Also I didn't know that not all the iPhones deliver Apple Music in the same way (max 24/192).

I am interested into a solution for the home environment and I just landed here looking for U2 details reading your posts thinking that it's the right solution.

I'll wait until the next Apple AirPlay upgrade and see how it goes (if there will be any) or Spotify Hifi maybe connect(?).
We will see. All the best,

Ok go you have a photo or model number? I am only seeing 110v products. My current car charger isn't up to the task.

Just ordered that charger and the same hub you have, will give the results when they arrive.

 

This one does 90w I had it before I sent it all back.

I have iPhone6s / Topping D10s / Optical to DSP Amplifier combination
First I had aftermarket CCK3 adapter (powered by a simple lighter), it generally did not work (rarely worked)
Then, I added that French cable for powering the D10s in the trunk, now the sound is fine, working
But my phone is still not being charged

I am trying to figure out what is wrong while everyone's only CCK3 setup charges the phone, but mine is not charged although I have 2 different power suppliers (French cable for topping D10s, CCK3 for the phone)

Is it because my CCK3 adapter is aftermarket? or my cigarette lighter charger adapter thing is not sufficient?

FYI, so called the French cable which I added additionally to CCK3 adapter :

 

Unplug the topping does it charge then? I use an apple cck on my iPhone XS Max it's been super reliable after I stopped using the helix hec

Just get an apple cck3, they work with the supplemental power supply (I cut up a second usb lead to make a spliced in power supply for the topping rather than buy the French lead and putting more junctions in the pathway)

 

I had issues until i switched over to the official Apple CCK3, after doing so my phone charges just fine and signal to the D10s is as reliable as running water

 

Dears,
Do you use official apple lightning cable for powering the official apple cck3 adapter?
Powering cable usb end is connected to a lighter adapter, do i need a specific one for this as newer apple phones adapter is 20w

 

No I use a Anker cable plugged into this which Is hard wired. USBbuddy, Portable Powerpole (12V) to USB (5V) Converter and Device Charger

A technical drawing of how I run extra power to a topping d10s since the later apple cck3 didn’t supply enough power to run the device direct

 

The anker powerline ii/iii works as reliable as apples
