Unless you own some power hungry headphone and in need of more power it's imo not worth it.is it worth buying a Topping A90 only if you have a sinad DAC 115-120 worth it?

the best ones know 115 sinad value and are very very expensive
John, I misspoke. Dac3 is fixed SE out at 0dBFS=0Vrms. On the BAL out can be 7.5, 17.5, or 27.5Vrms. Which output, SE or BAL, configuration would you recommend to optimize noise level? Whichever Allows me to achieve the volume I want at at 12 o’clock position on the volume pot?As A90 has a volume control. The SNR of the upstream component will be preserved. The higher output of the DAC3 won't give any SNR benefit if not more distortion (potential). But we usually test on 5V in for SE input. So take that as a reference point. There's no issue when the voltage is within the input range. I recommend using Mid gain setting on A90. So choose the DAC3 output level to fit the loudness you want.
'Geshelli Killer' -- Interesting terminology.
Only a tiny Male Female partner team is causing headache to large companies like you.
Hope you take care of the QC issues unlike Sabaj & SMSL.
In the thirst to 'kill' and pricewars, its always customers who loose coz we are made to believe cheaper and cheaper is better.
Anyways, I know whose side I am on
Go Killer !
And to my team, I say ---- Release the Kraken !!!!
No.so would i buy a Topping A90 in addition to the Topping dx3 pro v2? wouldn’t it be a more dynamic, clearer, more detailed, bigger soundstage? is it worth buying a Topping A90 only if you have a sinad DAC 115-120 worth it?
HUHi just looked at the dac ranking of the site and the best ones know 115 sinad value and are very very expensive, it would be totally unrealistic to buy a $ 3000-4000 dac device for a $ 500 amp.
Is this simlar to THX feed-forward error correction?
I was really excited while watching this.

I'm curious about P90 that would be release in the future.
If they want to match A90/D90 aesthetics. Wouldn't it feel like too short ? The best that they can do might just only 3 inputs (2rca, 1xlr) and 2 outputs (1rca, 1xlr).
So, I guess P90 might double the length(wide) of A90/D90 and when you want to stack it together. Just lay P90 underneath of D90 siding with A90.
Or they might make P90 height x2 so it can side A90/D90 together. It will look a little bit bulky though for a preamp.
Also, please make P90 to switch XLR/RCA input with remote control.
Anyway, I think I still buy A90 but since it has no benefit for pre-order. I'm going to wait a little bit for amirm's review.
It will be called Pre90 not P90.Got a bit confused here as 'P' is what they used for the power supply designation for the P50 unit, but realised you were talking about the upcoming preamp. 2x height would be best to match the stack, and will also give opportunity for much larger knob. Maybe 2x height but half width might also be good, so it could be placed right next to the stack without looking too big. I think it should have at least 2x XLR output and 1-2 RCA output, and at least 1 each XLR/RCA input.

@Patrick1958 Might be worth it for the improved channel balance at the pot and the friendlier headphone output impedance <0.1Ω vs <10Ω on the DX3 Pro v2.Unless you own some power hungry headphone and in need of more power it's imo not worth it.
