based on my reading of the rules, DAC/ADC (8542.39.00), amplifiers (8542.33.00) are exempted based on https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...utive-order-14257-of-april-2-2025-as-amended/.News on the “upcoming” Topping D900 DAC was released around March 2024. The D900 has been at many Audio Shows for over a year. The D900 has yet to be released for sale.
The Topping DX5 II was just recently announced on February 2025. Who knows when Topping will decide to release it for sale and at what price.
Hopefully the new electronics tariff exemption will cover DAC’s and make it reasonably affordable.
