with analogous i meant inputs other than optical/bluetooth/usb, i guess you're running cinch cables from your dac to the amp which is an analogous method.My setup is PC->Topping D30 via toslink->A20a
Since I have no idea what "analagous inputs" are and a google search was unsatisfying I must assume I am not.
I can also say that I had no hiss when I previously used other amps; yamaha r-s202, nad 3020v2 and aiyima a07 was my progression. The Yamaha was too big. The NAD ran far too hot. The Aiyima was solid. The A20a is far better.
Side note: since I use my PC as my only source I run the Peace UI on top of Equalizer APO with all other APO's disabled and apparently get a very satisfactory signal. The EQ for my Q150's is very minor but very noticeable. I made a half dozen profiles until I made one that made me happy. Switching profiles is just a click.
i just tried to unplug the balanced analogous cables from the amp and the hiss was almost gone, only a really slight amount of amplifier hiss, even at max volume.. so i guess it actually is my dac. i edited the paragraph in my review accordingly
