Measurements still not added! I wonder if the design is being improved while it's being measured. That would explain the delay. I am going to buy a pair if all goes well.

It might be interesting to compare people's personal EQ's for high end headphones (say ~300 USD and up). Formatting: If you want to participate, I'd suggest for clarity put the manufacturer/model in bold and then directly below put your Equalizer APO or equiv. file text. Formatting continued...

I agree. Like that popular Sound of Silence cover. Not enjoyable for me. Original better. Agreed.

Scarface (1983 remake)

Best value: March Sointuva speakers - love these things Worst value: a now-sold Audio-GD DAC/amp combination unit Second worst value: some of my very expensive rare CD's (some around or nearing $100 mark) My DAC/amp stuff is great value, although it was a case of paying much more for...

F*** AI. It has no place in any arts. We have brains so we should use them by performing music. Our point in living is largely putting effort into things to get better at them; expressing our human experience and limitations; the journey. Some people are only interested in the arts, should they...

Amp is still going strong. When I first got my Sointuva's last year, I connected them and measured the voltage/current (ie wattage) output with an oscilloscope at various preamp volume levels. I put 2 stickers on my preamp where it aligns with wattage levels (100W and 200W) so that I don't...

Two 2007 films. No Country for Old Men was super tense and atmospheric. Almost no music is in it but it didn't need it. I'm glad I finally watched it. American Gangster was also great. 2018 film. Not my usual genre necessarily but Black**lansman was surprisingly good, from memory.

A brilliant movie, "The Deer Hunter" (1978), but at least on streaming the sound was bright and muffled, just awful. I heard from someone the original audio was stretched, maybe to compensate for misalignment with the picture or something like that, which might explain it. I make no claim.

I found "The Old Man and the Gun" (2018) entertaining and humorous in a dark way. It has classy, understated music too. Maybe the most recent film since "The Departed" (2006) that I've actually enjoyed.

I may have a solution for you. I went half crazy trying to solve the same problem. I hope you still have the D90 ! The solution: 1. Plug into a USB2 port 2. AFTER THIS is connected, Reset the Topping D90 on the REAR POWER SWITCH So if anyone has "tried all their USB ports" - don't stop there...

OK - I finally fixed it. I tried a huge amount of things but the answer was much simpler. The solution: 1. Put it in a REAR USB2 (not 3) Port 2. Reset the Topping D90 on the REAR POWER SWITCH So if anyone has "tried all their USB ports" - don't stop there - try hard resetting the power on...

My parents' stereo would be on almost every morning when I was a kid. Often classical music or rock/folk. I liked when "No Quarter" was played off the live Led Zeppelin album "The Song Remains The Same". That was a favourite when I was 5 years old. I still love it. I discovered most of my...

I can hardly believe this. I got it working by turning off the BACK power switch and then on. I had previously been using the front switch only. Even a factory reset had not worked but this worked. Hopefully this helps someone in future. EDIT: It works on other computer, but not mine, after...
