Newbie asking for advice please.
I have the Topping D50s/A50/P50 stack which I use with a pair of Sennheiser HD660S but I feel a bit disappointed with the A50 after a few weeks. I also have a Musical Fidelity V90-DAC and V90-HPA which I use with HD 598s and a Musical Fidelity M2si in a seperate system as well as an old Audiolab 8000A and a few DIY DACs so I've been able to mess around with all the combinations to test and the A50 is clearly letting the side down in my opinion. (The D50s sounds awesome with the MF V90-HPA btw).
Lockdown has got me thinking of buying a better headphone amp and demoting the A50 to being my bed-side amp for my phone. Should I wait for the Topping A50s or look to upgrade? I'm pretty convinced if I decide to upgrade it's going to put me on the road to at least 2 years of putting aside thousands for relatively minimal improvement on the D50s/A50s when I could get some very good 3-way speakers to go with my main hi-fi. If anyone can convince me otherwise I'd be happy to keep an open mind. Thanks.
