[gasolin75]

Hopefully the upgrade PA3s off better than the current PA3.

Same picture is also on Topping's facebook page.

If it looks so cute and has balanced in, it's going to be interesting.

I bet @amirm already has one for measurement...

If it measures how it looks. Its a winner.

It's a keep it simple stupid, amp, analog and balanced on the new version and if it has more power 33 in 8 ohm 51 in 4 ohm and better sound, it could be a good amp.

Just a litte expensive just under 170 euros compared to under 110 euros https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/inte...-d-amplifier-2x100w-4-ohm-silver-p-12617.html

Thats in the same class as a Sabaj A20 a , it also have balanced in (xlr) tone controls and presets, a remote control + build in 320 watt power supply (as i remember) that allows for a higher grade power cable for 185 euros on hifi-express

I mean for the desktop. It looks nice. I mean l like the look.
For @restorer-john's desk.

It could be a bit underpowered.

Get 4 ohm close to 90 db efficient speakers, Q Acoustics 3050i ? (4 ohm 91db)

I never listen loud on the desktop. Just not the right environment for me. So 30W into a average efficient speaker ,is more than enough for me.
I had some bx8 for desktop mixing. Big failure. To much. Beginner failure.

No measurements of max power in 8 and 4 ohm, thats why i ask

 

[Drengur]

Yeah, I understand. At least we have the "official" specs:

 

[gasolin75]

hmm, not better than the old P3

 

[MadMan]

With an order of magnitude better distortion...
