AB i guess, like LA90D but monoblock and no gain knob.Which is it class?
Thanks. But there are two sets of gain: 11.6/22 dB.AB i guess, like LA90D but monoblock and no gain knob.
Sorry to dig this up. Similar to you I have a pair of Diana V2s, an RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE and a bit of money to burn and am looking at getting some Susvaras now that unveiled is out. I was doing some research on whether I should get the LA90D to power the Susvaras, but see that A90D and LA90 is "all you really need" which is the better match for the Susvaras given I would be getting an amp especially for the Sus, since my RME powers my Dianas (and DCA E3) just fine.I am now ABing volume matched A90D, LA90D and monoblocked AHB2's and they're all identical. If you need want a linear amp for your headphones/speakers, A90D and LA90 really are all you need.
If you drive both Dalis from a single LA90D, and you hear the Amp distorting before you can turn the volume knob all the way up and achieve satisfying loudness, only then will you gain performance by buying a second LA90D.How to understand if adding one more amp will gain a performance?
The included power supply is universal (100-240V, 50/60Hz).Does this thing run properly on 120V 60Hz AC?
Amir is in the US, so did his tests at 110-120V 60Hz.What did you test at?
Thanks. Hope that one will power my speakers properly. Because buying the second one brings the prive of amplifier section to another level where another interesting devices can be foundIf you drive both Dalis from a single LA90D, and you hear the Amp distorting
I use the LA 90D in mono mode with Dali Ikon 7. If the speakers are not directed at the listener, as recommended by the manufacturer, then there will be no brightness in the sound. Using two amplifiers in mono mode gives a power reserve for peak scenes in movies.Just ordered LA90d for my Dali Ikon 6 + Fiio k9 pro ESS. Wondering if I will get neutral sound to balance with a little to bright sound of Ikons. Speakers are 91.5Db sensitivity. Can I run them on low gain in 20sq m room? Or do I need a second la90? How to understand if adding one more amp will gain a performance?
If it is the current limit of the amp that causes the distortion, bridging one per speaker will net help you out.I use the LA 90D in mono mode with Dali Ikon 7.

About the Fiio K9. I wouldn't use it, since the ES9068AS didn't sound good to me (Gustard DAC-X16) and it doesn't have a R2R volume control. I am currently using Topping E70 Velvet -> L70 -> 2 * LA 90 Discrete.
And what about music listening? Have you compared songle/dual setup?gives a power reserve for peak scenes in movies.
But have you heard K9 ess? Is it bright or what's wrong?Topping E70 Velvet

I don't follow your attempt of humor I guess?Sounds like "Just sold my Toyota Corolla" and purchased Gelandewagen and it's good))
Sorry, silly from my sideI don't follow
I didn't listen to this particular device. I listened to and owned other DACs that are based on the ES9068AS chip.But have you heard K9 ess?
Listening to DACs that were based on the ES9068AS chip, I was always missing something. Then the width of the stage, then the position of the instruments, and so on.Is it bright or what's wrong?
I didn't listen to this particular device.I can now get used D90, first AKM edition for a very good price. What do you think of it?
Couple of these could come handy to drive my mid-high section as long as they stand my standard couple of years time test without multiple failure reports.
Thanks Amir!
Over a year later, how are owners feeling about the reliability of the LA90D?
