Yes, the speakers are ok. It's just that the Topping d50s + Topping pa3s combination is not my thing.
Maybe swapping the dac for a different one… I'll also consider the Rega IO.
Currently have TEAC UD-H01 dac , second hand cheap or new Cambridge audio dacmagic 100…
I did a test with several settings, listening to the Chantal Chamberland - Temptation cd and its cd rip :
Fiio X1 -> Topping pa3s -> Dali Zensor5
Onkyo DX 1400 -> Topping pa3s -> Dali Zensor 5

Hello,
My name is Asen.
My current audio setup is:
Topping pa3s (amplifier)
Topping d50s (dac)
Fanless pc + Daphile os (audio streamer)
Dali Zensor 5 (speakers)
My question is whether the Dali Oberon 1 would be a better solution for me.
I don't have an option to pre-audition.
The room is 18.5...
