Thanks!!Your DACs have 'preamp functionality' since they have volume control. The PA5 needs 2.5V to reach max power and those DACs seem to output 4V or more so no problem there.
In a 2-channel digital, none!Then, what's the use of all the expensive preamps except for some additional inputs?
5 watts on a set of LS50s is plenty loud when adjacent to your desk. I know from experience. I took SPL readings from dead center, front row Cleveland Orchestra one year and average SPL was 60-70, with occasional peaks into the 90s. I could easily replicate that at my desk with a little Nuforce Icon 20 watt thing.
This Topping Amp at 60 watts with LS50s will get you into high 90s continuous if my math is right...which no one should listen that loud...but would suggest it will handle transient peaks, at reasonable average levels, just fine. If you get into a larger room with greater distance from speaker to ear, then probably yeah, want something more.
I just want a matching form factor to my D/A30Pro or I'd have already pulled the trigger.
Sub management would be nice though.
80 dBSPL continuous is very high volume at home. I listen to very good recordings with high DR, 15 dB or more -> I want 95 dBSPL peak at 3 meters.
Topping PA has enough watts. Sound quality with acoustic recordings? I do not know, but the power is not a problem. 100 watts at THD 0.1% (-60 dB).
The topping requires over 2v for full output, it has balanced inputs which would easily achieve this from many DACs but the chord is 3.5mm stereo so it probably wont be ideal. Theres figures into headphone loads way bellow 1v, im not sure how well it would perform into 10k.I use a chord Mojo as a Dac and Preamp, whats the best Option to connect the PA5?
High quality cinch to Mono XLR?
P.s
I am also a Professional reed player. Could also get some data from Concerts and tours
Beyond additional inputs and SOTA headphone amp (A90) no reason.Then, what's the use of all the expensive preamps except for some additional inputs?
If I add Topping A90 or Pre90 between my DAC (Mytek Liberty) and PA5, does this make sound quality better or worse?
In fact, I didn't like the sound coming from my very old Philips pre/amp combo, always well behind the one coming from a Denon receiver, until I removed, with the greatest caution and while being very much worried about the aerobatic maneuver I was about to perform, the preamplifier and.... CANNOT BE !!!! WHAT ????: crystal clear, better contoured, effortles dynamics, outstanding stage... pinpointed instruments...In a 2-channel digital, none!

Yours must surely sound better.Exactly what I get from my Topping Pre into Benchmark AHB2
A little help for such a development might come precisely from PA5 selling well...@maty nice calculators on doctorproaudio site, thanks for sharing..and for double checking the math.
If Topping doubles the power...or creates mono blocks...or both...with XLR inputs...well, going to get interesting in high end audio.
I bought A/D30Pro stack assuming I'd need XLR to feed an Amp or power speakers...then E/L50s were released and I learned about TRS. If I were buying new, I'd stick a fork in an E50/L50/P5 stack and call it a day.A little help for such a development might come precisely from PA5 selling well...
More than done with your helping hand...I bought A/D30Pro stack assuming I'd need XLR to feed an Amp or power speakers...then E/L50s were released and I learned about TRS. If I were buying new, I'd stick a fork in an E50/L50/P5 stack and call it a day.
I love the A/D30Pro, use it hours a day, so I'm really really really hoping they offer next amp to match with the A/D30Pro
Some qualification may be needed here pma.A combination of average impedance magnitude (your resistor considerations) with high phase angle like capacitive -45° to -60° leads to extreme current draw from the amplifier output and also may lead to stability issues.
Maybe two TPA3251 with PFFB ?I too have a hunch that this is a TPA325X implementation, it is a very good performing chip even without PFFB so it has lots of potential for improving the sound quality and performance.
I’m not sure why it wouldn’t.What´s your E-mail? I have a distant relative in North East Africa that just inherited 50 million dollars, he needs YOUR help to transfer the money to his account in the Cayman Islands, of course there is a hefty premium in it for YOU...
My point, There is NO WAY that picture shows the real deal, but if you really thought so, my African friend is very interested in getting in touch with you...
