Amazing. If it only came with an internal PSU, then I would throw my money at this. Aesthetics are important. Would happily accept slightly lower SINAD ..

All phantoms across the range are now Roon Ready, and software has been greatly improved. In addition, the Devialet Arch has been released - that lets you wirelessly add analogue (inc turntables) or digital sources. Everything is of course digitised, so analogue purists need not apply

Let me rephrase. Do the same outputs on the H120 exhibit the same design issues (or intentional design choices) as the H95, that has been discussed in this thread?

For those in the know: Do the same outputs on the H120/390 behave in the same way as the H95 ?

@enricoclaudio I was just wondering two things about it's functionality: 1. Does it support automatic input switching, when audio is played via optical/coax/USB etc ? 2. In regards to Spotify connect - if the volume on the unit is set to a particular level (lets just say 30%), and a spotify...

It's far worse than the claims made by the cosmetics industry, and I would never imagine my wife would buy a mascara for $200 bucks, that gives "500% more sexiness".

Please @JohnYang1997 - transfer this amplifier technology over to something larger, with balanced inputs, a remote, internal power supply and double the power, and you'll have my money in an instant :)

Am just very curious. What's your general thought on MQA ?

Thanks @JohnYang1997. Would there be any advantages in having a purely analog preamp (such as the PRE90) vs the D90se ?

Love that it comes in silver!

Hi! I'm a big fan of Topping (performance, and aesthetics). So I'm looking for the best combined DAC/Preamp for driving a power amp (haven't decided which one yet). Any ideas on which device would suit this use case best ?. Note: I see that the D90SE supports 5v out. Perhaps that makes it ideal...

I'm looking at purchasing the D30 Pro, and just had a question about functionality. I will be running optical out from the TV into the DAC, which will be in pre-amp mode. Is there any possibility for auto input switching ? Let's say, the USB input was active, but then inactive for a few minutes...

How do these speakers scale with higher quality amplification and/or more power ?. Is there a relatively low point of diminishing returns ?

Makes sense. Although, if i run a traditional "total cost of ownership", through my brain, something like the 502 comes out very much on top, taking all things into consideration :).

Thanks for all the insight and comments. I've learnt some things :)

haha, great post!. Yes, it really requires re-wiring your brain - and potentially your ego from all the money spent ;) . But that's just the terrible thing with advancing technology and hindsight :)

I'm guessing then it has to be one of: features, build quality, or design then ? It's becoming more apparent to me, that a good transparent Class D implementation, with Tone controls in the chain, would give the best of both worlds.

I guess that brings me to my last question then. Is the new Purifi 452, worth the 50% increase in price over the 502 (Ncore) sonically, if both are essentially transparent ? Am not sure if people here have been able to compare both..

That's where something like the 502 or 452 with a Tube pre (Schiit Freya + for example) could be a formidable combination. Or even a simple Schiit Loki for tone controls.

Much appreciated. Some great insight. And a good story :). That said, with a lot of the (especially Purifi) based Class D implementations - they mention that they are very stable down to 2 ohms (if I read correctly). So again, that negates that benefit of this massive power supply in the Hegel...
