That looks pretty good, I'll look into it, thanks.In the UK, Topping EX5, in black, obviously, to compliment the gorgeous orange display.
Looks pretty good, thanks for the response.I'm driving my AEON Noire with a Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 3 and also with a Topping A30Pro feed by a Matrix Audio X-SABRE 3. Both amps drive the Noire without any effort. A bit over your budget but a Topping D30Pro + A30Pro stack would be my recommendation.

I use it together with the EX5. Great device! However, don‘t buy sth with less power for the Aeon 2 Noire if you listen to recordings with high dynamic range. With some classical music, I really need to crank up the volume close to maximum.Hi together, I have the Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire and I really love it. At the moment I am considering which DAC/AMP setup I should choose. Here are the options that I consider:
I think the D30 pro & A90 should be a safe bet regarding soung quality but I might prefer one of the other options to either get to a lower price point or to get an all in one device that also offers Airplay. Could someone give me a hint regarding following questions:
- Topping D30 pro & A90
- I consider this setup as an option that is fully balanced and will surely have enough power to drive the Noire.
- I chose the D30 pro because it fits to the look of the A90, it has an integrated power supply and it is way cheaper than the D90.
- Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 3
- This is a great all in one device that should also have enough power and it offers Airplay 2 which is a benefit for me.
- Topping EX5
- According to my intrernet research this is a pretty low priced device that should be able to drive the Noire
Best regards
- Do you think the EX5 would have enough power to properly drive the Noire and deliver a sound quality near to the D30pro & A90 stack?
- Do you think the Matrix Audio paired with the Noire would deliver a sound quality near to the D30pro & A90 stack?

Cool! Does the EX5 deliver high sound quality even when you turn the power up so high?I use it together with the EX5. Great device!

Yeah, I didn‘t notice any kind of noise or distortion, still absolutely enjoyableCool! Does the EX5 deliver high sound quality even when you turn the power up so high?
Why not a D30 Pro & A30 Pro stack so that they aesthetically fit together when stacked? I'm using that with my regular non-Noire DCA Aeon 2 Closed and it's been perfect.

Couple of reasons here:Why not a D30 Pro & A30 Pro stack so that they aesthetically fit together when stacked? I'm using that with my regular non-Noire DCA Aeon 2 Closed and it's been perfect. Plenty of power.
Cool! Would you say that the Mini-I Pro 3 paired with the Noire would sound worse than the A90?I had A30Pro and A90. Also own a mini-i Pro 3. All three are more than capable to drive the Noire's. I decided to return the A30Pro and keep the A90 just because it has a little more output and runs cooler than the A30Pro. I'm feeding the A90 with my MA X-SABRE 3 and that combo is the one I use with the DCA Noire's. The MA mini-i Pro 3 is to drive my Sundaras and 660s.
