Making further progress, TOPPING’s new flagship amplifier will be launched in late May!

[Descartes]

No idea why peeps are so hyped over Topping still. Im scared shitless everytime they publish new amp. Still missing my broken focals and my left side hearing.

What happened?

What happened?

This hapoened twice with 2 different amps a90d and l70

Interesting product. I guess it answers the "we need more power cap'n" question a bit. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't answer the 2-ohm load question. Which makes it a non-starter for me.

As I recently wrote here on the thread "Ask me questions." started by @JohnYang1997 from TOPPING, in HiFi audio scene, I believe not only the initial (at first-glance) measured (and heard) performances but also durability/robustness, parts selections, repair parts availability, maintenance/repair/overhaul service availability, warranty, support system/network, etc., all for "long-year" time span, are really critical (more important?) for our choice(s) of amplifier(s).

Sorry, but I do not know whether their new flagship[??] amplifier discussed on this thread can be categorized in HiFi audio gear, or not.

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

 

[dsnyder0cnn]

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.

Cool. Sweet listening enjoyment to you. Mine are on backorder

No matter how much being criticized for PA5, topping amps are on back order…. Loyal fan club wins

Sure that's not just because it's a Focal headphone? Many report driver clipping with them. Assuming that is what that is.

 

[babadono]

Mine have shipped..arriving tomorrow...1-2 days from China, how they do that? It takes fedex 2 weeks from Ohio to California

So Av =3.8(11.6dB) or 12.6(22dB). Somewhere in the middle might be nice say 7 or 8. Wonder if Topping will allow internal adjustment?

They would probably tell you to put a Topping Pre90 in front of it. ;-)

BTW, what is "Av" ?

 

[dsnyder0cnn]

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 amp. However, since the B200 has not volume control, I had to remember to switch the E50 DAC to preamp mode. Glad I thought of it as, otherwise, I'd probably be picking cone material from my monitors out of my teeth!

I won't attempt to form any listening opinions in this system. Mainly, I wanted to make sure that the amps and power supplies were in working order before the 45-day return window with Apos. So far, so good.

Av? Gain by any other name
