Looks nice and all but a little expensive 220 usd for a small desktop rack, don't you think?

Assuming good build quality, that doesn't seem expensive at all. Just what things cost these days.

I think after materials are purchased, machining is done, packaging etc that the price is in the zone of what it costs. I put my gear behind the monitor, it is sight unseen, never touched for adjustment and so I don't think I'll be buying a snazzy stand like this one but things could change. :D
 
No worse than what iFi was selling for their Pro series of headphone amp and DAC, that was much higher priced if my memory serves me. And this Topping rack looks a lot better.
 
Even with today's prices you could build a Flexy Rack that size for way less. I do think you're paying a premium for Topping-branded shelves.
 
Spikes and their pads don't make sense on a desk,it's a recipe for accident.
It would be better to have feet that grab the usual surfaces as wood or glass and isolate it from the taps and hit's we usually do on a desk.
Ok,it wouldn't look audiophile without spikes but it would be practical.
 
They just casually leaked the much wider E dac and L amp. I hope they come in red.

That looks really unstable for a desk...

Edit:
Don't get me wrong or paranoid about stability,I only think that this stuff's use case is headphones.
And considering that the barbarian me can pull the cable accidentally in 100 different ways... you see what I mean.

I don't like the look of it either. I have my EX5 sitting on a much more substantial glass monitor shelf...


I know other members have built racks by stacking these.
