Topping A90 Headphone Amplifier Review

[Ron Texas]

Perfection...

 

[VeerK]

I’ve had mine on preorder from Apos, should be here in a few days. Anyone know of any discounts from retailers, so those of us who hadn’t preordered can still get the A90 for a great price?

 

[Veri]

Perfection...

Or at least very close

 

[vkvedam]

Excellent! I was presuming that the panther would be delighted with A90 whenever there happens to be a review.

 

[ReaderZ]

Wow， nice!! Think I am going to order one.

 

[Piotr]

I know this is aesthetically very controversial but imagine matching a90 with smsl m400. This would be top of the top you can get right now.

 

[NunzioLan]

So the only question is whether to take it black or silver. Such an easy buy!

 

[escalibur]

I don't have an A50 to measure yet. I *think* someone promised one but I am not sure.

@JohnYang1997 Can you make it happen?

 

[ReaderZ]

Can we get some measurements with rca in? Would be nice to know for sure that they work just as well.

 

[Piotr]

If you don't need MQA matching it with smsl m300 MK II is probably best in terms of price / quality ratio + alike SINAD.

 

[DubbyMcDubs]

Makes me feel depressed after spending the bucks on the HPA4

 

[Veri]

Can we see a teardown? Very interested in the NFCA modules.

Don't think Amir will be doing a teardown of the Topping review unit, that's asking a little much no...

 

[YSC]

Nice, too bad no internal photos for appreciating the design as a geek

 

[Wombat]

Nice.

P.S. Amir, those little switch handle(s) are called Toggle(s).

 

[Maxicut]

Nice! So how do you think it would perform using the balanced out's to powered monitors?

 

[firedog]

Would like to hear from someone using it as a preamp.

I am not under the impression that reviewers have to return them to topping, as Z just said in his video review, the A90 will be in his collection along with DX7 pro and D90.

Given that it has the same SINAD and thus T.O.T.C. with the Geshelli makes me kind of curious about the multitone (well not really Wolf already shown it) but the geshelli didn't exactly shine in that department. Might be educational to see the multitone performance under similar conditions.

Wolf's measurement of the proto.

Maybe pull out the Mola Mola and do it that way.

Wasn't that already shown?
