New Topping PA3s offering on the corner?

[Walter]

The Sabaj A20A (my bad) is about $230
The Topping PA3S is about $175

The Sabaj A20A has good Internal PFC PSU @ 350W (LOF350-20B24 ) and XLR inputs and Sub out + remote control
The Topping is a power brick amp (26VDC probably 6A or 7A about 180W ) with less common TRS balanced inputs

Most balanced dacs are equipped with XLR, so you will need a good TRS > XLR cables.

I imagine there is something for every taste and every wallet.
As for the measurements, we will know more soon I hope)

PA3s is $149 from Shenzhenaudio and a couple of other sites, and A20a was $220 on Amazon USA last week but is now out of stock. I completely missed the fact that the PA3s has no sub out. That's unfortunate.

This looks correct to me.

Confirmed by WBC (Worlds Best Cables) in the questions section of the Amazon listing for the Mogami/Neutrik XLR>TRS cable:

Hence I am waiting not buying with 200w power at 8ohms

149 euros from Audiophonics in france https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/inte...ced-2x-ma12070-2x65w-4-ohm-black-p-15658.html

Are these the correct cables for connection an XLR balanced pre-out to the PA3s and similar amps with TRS balanced input? Or is there a different wiring scheme for TRS balanced vs TRS stereo connections/cables?

I don't find any info on PSU brick.

cutting it pretty close, the pa3s is nowhere near 200 watt

8 Ohms (balanced), THD+N 0.1% -> 32 watts
4 Ohms (balanced), THD+N 0.1% -> 56 watts

-> loudspeakers > 88 dB at 4 Ohms

Maybe in the future, with more Infineon MA12070 -> 60 and 110 watts -> loudspeakers > 85 dB at 4 Ohms

Topping seems to have the most honest disclosures of performance characteristics on the product marketing spiel. Do we have John Yang to thank for this?

 

[gasolin75]

Power supply (brick) is 26 volt for 2x80 watt you need + 6 amps max i can hndle is 8 amps = 208 watt

Why they cose 26 volt i don't know it is the limit of the chip

My other brick is 24 volt and 6.75 a =167 watt should be enough even for the topping amp

 

[V.b.]

We don't know it is 26v. The marking is on the amp, it may mean max voltage, we haven't seen the brick.

I think we do https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/inte...ced-2x-ma12070-2x65w-4-ohm-black-p-15658.html

 

[V.b.]

Yes. You can also read that as: the amplifier needs a PSU of up to 26v and we have included one.

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

I'm not sure this is an AO200 killer, but I wish it was since I'm enjoying quite a few Topping products. It's missing USB input, color display, EQ options, BT 5.0, sub output, internal PS.....

AO200 has a simplified USB, bad bluetooth, NJW1194 brake. But if you need a beautiful indicator, then AO200.

P.S. I have a LOXJIE A30 and I am very satisfied considering the price.

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

Any update for more power product?

Thanks,
