Was it? I just read the review content and didn’t search for other photos;)

Just a side question here. As a happy owner of the D70, I don’t feel the need to upgrade to the D90. Is there going to be a matching amp for the D70? If not, how does the A90 look when stacked on top of the much larger D70?

No matching amp for D70, I'm sure D70+A90 will still look fine. Performance wise it's a very good match for sure.

Sorry for that. But I'm still looking forward to a user who is willing to show us the teardown.;)
That's fair :)

Looks great.
From a practical point of view though, would I hear any improvement over a DX7s or is it all beyond the threshold? If so, is the weak point of the DX7s, the DAC or the amp?

Why doesn't Topping A70 exist? It will go very well with my D70:) I'm sure there are a lot of D70 who would like to have.

@JohnYang1997 Will L30 be 100% the same as unbalanced A90 (looks aside), or will there be other lackings as well?

He already said the goal is A90 single ended performance. So that's what they're going for. There is no production unit yet so we'll have to wait and see how good it will be :) It can't be 100% the same thing though, since it will be a sized down design in a smaller case. But very similar.

So, any chance of a run-down on the design topology described here? I can sort of guess what is being done, especially after seeing the 6120's in the picture. But if you are going to coin terms like NFCA and UHGF you owe it to the rest of the geeks to give us something with a bit more meat on it. :)
