Speedy repairsI'd guess that I wouldn't hear a difference, but I don't have my headphones now to check. My Stealth had a couple issues that DCA is fixing for me.
Sorry that you had a problem!

There is about a 10dB difference from ~58dB THD + N Ratio and downwards.Thnx for the input. Is it an audible difference, because for the life of me I can’t hear a drawback with high gain. Old ears
Cheers
Thnx!There is a bout a 10dB difference from ~61.5dB THD + N Ratio and downwards.
Unable to update the firmware on my A90D. I just got my A90D from Apos, and before even connecting wall power I plugged in the the USB-C cable and on THREE computers (two Macs, one Windows) no drive came up. No display. I then wall powered the A90D for a bit, pulled the plug, waited 2 minutes, and same results. I tried three USB-C cables and same results. What am I doing wrong?
It's much better than the original dx7(or dx7pro for that matter) but not necessarily beneficial over 789(although A90D does have more power and lower noise). If you have a 789 then you wouldn't need this.
The amp output is clean enough for IEM's and the 50mV test got good marks too.Thnx!
Is that an audible difference? If it is, I am very disappointed that Topping would recommend high gain with full size headphones.
Thank you, happy to see it's a very simple operation.My result.
When I held down the volume knob on the main unit and turned it to the right, the gain switched to "H". Turned it to the left, the gain switched to "L". The firmware is "VER23".
D30 Pro or E50. I have an E50 and it’s very reliable.Suggestion for suitable and current production Topping balanced DAC? (Not the d90) thanks
Im loving the D10 BalancedSuggestion for suitable and current production Topping balanced DAC? (Not the d90) thanks
I wanted to touch back on this because the response seems kind of touchy. Is there an audible improvement in dynamics at normal volume levels. Bass response? Anything? Is the difference at any listening levels? Or only when listening loud? Really any kind of comparisons. Is it worth even grabbing this for most use cases in comparison to the RME internal amp?It is a direct comparison with the RME. @amirm has said that the RME is his every day dac/amp. When he says he has never seen an amp have such an upper hand that includes the RME. When he says he has not heard the Stealth come to life so well, that includes compared to the RME. What exact comparison are you looking for?
Im expecting a lot more reviews and comparisons moving forward since these are starting to ship out to the US market.I wanted to touch back on this because the response seems kind of touchy.

Reading the review, and then going back and reading the original review statements are kind of high level and vague. I'm looking for a direct comparison if one can be had.
This is the kind of comparison that you have to do yourself. Get the A90D and the RME, listen to both, keep the one you like the most and return the loser back. The most you can lose is the return shipping and maybe a 10% restocking fee.I wanted to touch back on this because the response seems kind of touchy.

Behringer monitor2usbWhat are these the specs of?
E50 is a great choice too, has MQA (duno if you care) for HQ streaming w/ TIDAL.Suggestion for suitable and current production Topping balanced DAC? (Not the d90) thanks
