Topping LA90 Discrete Amplifier Review

[Dottie]

Hi! Great to hear that. I’ve got the same setup with some Dynaudio Craft, and honestly, I’m thrilled with it. I’ve also tried it with the Merlin Audio VSM and they sound amazing, and even with the legendary B&W 801 Matrix3. The Topping drives them all effortlessly; on the contrary, it keeps surprising in a good way!

Hi! In the past i used to have very expensive audio gear from for instance CH-Precission and Jeff Rowland. The CH-PRECISSION X1 power supply (13K euro) used for the dac smoked itself. I am totally cured now and appreciate the much more affordable gear from topping etc. very much too.

I wonder if Topping plans to release a more powerful version of the La90.

I bought the LA90D, and to say I was blown away by the sound quality would be an understatement. I hadn't planned on buying these amps at all, but the power supply in my Purifi amp unfortunately blew, so I was looking for a replacement for my very heavy Canton Reference speakers. I decided to try the B200. These amps gave me such exceptional midrange and treble sound quality that I've never heard anywhere else in 30 years of high-end listening, no matter the price! Unfortunately, the bass was practically nonexistent. So I decided to try the LA90D. Yes, it has a slightly more moderate midrange and treble, but even very good Class D amplifiers couldn't deliver the same bass sound as the LA90D. I really hope Topping continues to develop and improve the concept of their LA90 and B200 amplifiers without losing quality!
