Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I just wish I knew if it used the same decoding (DAC) as the NX4, but I can't seem to find that information.
EDIT: Correction, it looks like it doesn't use the double buffer like the NX4, so it could be a completely different design. Anyone find the actual DAC chip they used? EDIT2: Thanks to thefitz, the NX2S DAC is TI's PCM5101A EDIT3: I've emailed Topping asking what the DAC is on the NX4. Will update when they reply. EDIT4: They replied:
Hello Thank you for contacting TOPPING support. We are happy to assist. We use TI's PCM5102A in NX4. Best Regards! ---------------------------------- TOPPING service 26th Jiaomen Road, Huangge Town, Nansha, Guangzhou, China Zip code: 511455
EDIT5: So it seems there is a similar albeit technically different design. Looks like the 5102A just has a better SNR and shares the same spec sheet. Unfortunately for me, it means that the skipping will probably still be there, or at least is highly likely, so I have to sit this one out. I would want to be able to return it quickly if it doesn't work, so hopefully Amazon gets it soon enough for Prime.
