New Topping PA3s offering on the corner?

[Enkay25]

Came across the Topping Facebook page

So I wonder whether @JohnYang1997 can put in some more info?


Their websites does not seem updated enough.......(heck it says D90 is coming )

I am guessing this will the Topping avatar for Meru Infineon .......like the Sabaj a20a counterpart.

@JohnYang1997

If it is not under NDA, can we have some details of this new amp? Please.

Out now at shenzenaudio too

Oh wow. Balanced? Amazing

 

[Jstutman]

Saw this in my email on apos and came here to see what the ASR community has to say. This appears to have been released "silently" as this appears to be the only post on here about it?

Explains why @JohnYang1997 was so well acquainted with the Merus chip!

 

[Enkay25]

Now we need some performance comparison with Sabaj a20a.

I like the balance TRS.

 

[daftcombo]

Meant to be used with Topping D10 Balanced or E50, TRS to TRS, I think.

 

[Walter]

If the performance is on par--and I expect it will be--this blows away the $220 Sabaj A20a for value, and the combo with the D10S Balanced will cost roughly the same as the SMSL AO200 while probably providing better measured, though maybe not audible, performance. However, it does have an external power supply, while I believe the other two have internal.

 

[Enkay25]

Price is more enticing than Sabaj (are we seeing some competition here .....Topping more expensive in DAC and Sabaj more in amps?)

Form factor is also very likeable......minimal.


Have the urge to buy ....but will wait out for more power. @JohnYang1997 c'mon I need amps 200w or atleast >100w 8ohms. Why don't you offer premium purifi amps? Much like your DACs....we need to see different amps for market segments. I can understand the OEM supply constraints......but Topping can really up the market.

Typical THD+N will be in the 0.002x% region, SINAD 92dB or so under Amir's test condition.

Anything in the pipeline for 400W+?

Not currently. 100W+ and 200W+ yes.

I read a hair above the middle so 0.0026% THD+N in 4 ohms = SINAD 92 green area, and for the 150 usd price, it landed on the highest value frontier of the "confetti charts" on the 2nd tab. Plus an attractive chassis, wow, congrats, VERY nice product!

Out of curiosity, how much power would have been possible if bridged (1% THD+N 4 ohms)?

Published specs are up on the distributor's websites and our website.
65W-68W at 1% for 4Ohm

I mean bridged, if it could do it, theoretically?

 

[JohnYang1997]

It's already bridged. You have to wait a little if you want more power. It won't be too long. I promise.

 

[Enkay25]

Not currently. 100W+ and 200W+ yes.

At 8ohms?

Waiting for that. No frills. Give a pure Poweramp - bridge mode if possible. Looking forward to the 200W+..................with anticipation.

Edit: I want to pair the amp with D90se

PA3s AO200 killer? Bad bluetooth is not needed in AO200.
