There's a new, new amp out also: the B100, which also looks interesting

Yes, but the same can easily be said of S.M.S.L., yet they continue to receive plenty of love from ASR. Just less controversy because their products are anecdotally more reliable. That said, I have purchased nine (9) Topping products since joining ASR and all have been perfectly reliable (knock...

I realize that for Amir to review and measure a product, he first has to have it on-hand. For years, Amir posted reviews of new Topping electronics quickly...often within days of product announcement. However, IIRC, the last Topping product review was of the D50 III back in April (over four...

I bought a pair when they were on sale also. I'm not worried about the measurements. In the past, Topping's published data have only been a few dB more "optimistic" than what Amir's measurements show for the same products. I expect that to be the case here also.

I bought a pair. I plan to eventually use them to power the back surround speakers in our home theater, but I've been testing them out with some desktop passive speakers. So far, they sound fine. No worse than the Topping PA5 that I usually use at my desktop. Nothing has caught fire yet.

Not in my experience. It needs two cables. One for signal, a second for power.

I appreciate the internal power supply and quantity of power, but I'm happy with the Topping B200s so far. Nothing has caught fire. :cool:

Sure, but I don't understand the 3.8 and 12.6 numbers. What are the units? Or is this a ratio?

Just pulled them out of the boxes and put them into my office system. That system is normally comprised of a Topping E50 / L50/ PA5 stack, alternately driving passive monitors and Sennheiser HD600 headphones. I normally manage attenuation via the knobs on the L50 headphone amp and PA5 speaker...

They would probably tell you to put a Topping Pre90 in front of it. ;-) BTW, what is "Av" ?

My pair of B200s arrived this afternoon. I'll get them unpacked this evening and conduct some smoke testing. Not expecting any issues. The box they arrived in (via DHL) is larger than I expected. It seems they were packed very well.

Mine has shipped. I've not checked to see if availability has changed since I ordered.

Finally got the D50 III out of the box this weekend and took some measurements (using my little Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 gen 2 audio interface...nothing fancy). Per the manual, the DAC has eight modes, so I measured each of them. Minimum Phase (Default) Linear Phase Fast Roll-off Apodizing Linear...

Apos. Good folks.

I have a DHL tracking number, but they have not left the station yet. errr...that's for my pair. I don't have info on yours. LOL...

Oh man. Tempting. I see Apos has this too. https://apos.audio/collections/brand-spotlight-topping/products/topping-b200-ultra-high-performance-mono-power-amplifier

Just arrived last night from China. I ordered it before the sale went into effect, but Apos matched their current $194.65 sale price by issuing a credit. Apos service has been hit-or-miss in the past year or so, but they were spot on with this order. Kudos to them for implementings service...

Not that early...I assume Apos has the final specs in their shop: https://apos.audio/products/topping-b200-ultra-high-performance-mono-power-amplifier

Like others have said, I'm scratching my head regarding multiple inputs and a USB port for firmware updates. I kind-of wish there was a beefier power supply that allowed for output to (nearly) double into 4 Ohms. Otherwise, the B200 looks a lot more like what I actually wanted when I bought my...

If I paid $2,000 for the PA5, I'd be pretty annoyed. At around $300,, while I'm not thrilled by the likely possibility of having to replace it so soon, it's totally acceptable to me. I've purchased nearly a dozen products from Gustard, S.M.S.L., Topping, Khadas, and other similar companies since...
