    Poll for Topping PA5 owners only please.

    I'm going to keep giving Topping money because of the reward. Topping and the other manufacturers you find on Apos, Aoshida and Shenzen Audio Mart anticipate what we want and get it out as fast as they can. Most are big hits for me. Topping EX5, D90, Pre90. The PA5, while it did die once, was...

    Poll for Topping PA5 owners only please.

    I have 2 a07's one has been on since I bought it, maybe 2 straight years. I love those little amps. My replacement PA5 is also going strong and has been on 24-7 since I received it, its getting far more use than the original PA5 I had. PA5 sounds better than the a07 to me but its not that big of...

    Yes I use it the same way. RCA in from my phono to XLR out to my speaker amplifier and RCA out to my subwoofer amplifier

    Is my Amp enough for LS50?

    I've told people before my LS50's sound best on an Aiyima A07. I've run them on a NAD M10, 2 channels of an Outlaw 5000, Rotel A12, Parasound 2125v2 and probably some other random stuff I've had around here. When I tried the A07 I never changed the amp again. I'm using an emotiva xda 2 for a DAC...

    Volumio premium users?

    I don't know if this is placebo or not but I was getting a lot of crashes and freezes and reboots recently on my PI3 with web radio. I'm using only a single device and its wired. I finally got fed up and wiped my SD card and did a fresh install of a new download of the latest version of volumio...

    Topping Pre90 Review (preamplifier)

    Oh no that Benchmark remote looks terrible too . I have an emotiva XDA-2 DAC that has the coolest aluminum remote/weapon I've ever had and it's probably the only reason I keep the DAC around.

    Topping Pre90 Review (preamplifier)

    Yes I'm doing the same with the IR extender, that's the only solution for function. The quality of the included remote is still trash. In your hand it feels like a pile junk.

    Topping Pre90 Review (preamplifier)

    The metal remote only works on the DAC's. The Pre90 is a different remote. I have that metal remote for my EX5 and it also works on my D90SE. Its a way nicer feeling remote, same performance. I even tried to swap the Pre90 remote guts to the metal remote but its completely different.

    Topping Pre90 Review (preamplifier)

    In regards to the miserable remote control for the Pre90, I have been using an IR repeater, but now I have programmed a sofabaton U1 remote control to the pre90. You have to use the learning function and learn what buttons from the pre90 remote that you actually need. Big warning on the...

    Bluetooth or chromecast streaming amp for LS50 in bedroom

    I'm running LS50's in my bedroom with a CCA, Emotiva XDA-2 DAC an Aiyima A07 amp. Sounds great. The Aiyima a07 has been my favorite amp for the LS50's even though it costs next to nothing.

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    My wifi router was about 2ft from the extractor and giving periodic static pops. Almost like a record player. It was difficult to diagnose but I relocated the router to the other side of the house and all is well.

    I'm doing it right now but I didn't reverse the phase. It sounds incredible and it's worth the trouble

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    I'm waiting for an hdmi audio > I2S extractor to do this very thing with a Sony x800 player and a D90SE. I'll let you know if it works. I should have the part any day now.

    Now I want my replacement to quit so maybe Apos will just credit me and I can get the LA90 I should have bought

    Amazon Basics 4K HDMI Extractor Review

    So your D90 displays 176.4 on the COAX input when playing SACD's off an HDMI extractor?
