Topping D90 DAC (AKM 4499 variant) (not MQA)
for sale at a bargain price for a quick sale to my favourite internet community.
new accounts on headfi need not apply, not an 'untrusting stance', just,.. for a low price I would like to reward a long time community member.
now, my opinins on Topping DAC, made for spec sheet warfare, is not the most musical product I have heard.
inarguably they are 'technically excellent', and I went out of my way to land an AKM version (the company state they spent over a year and a half tuning for this chip, which due to a fire, forced a 'quick update' to the later used ESS chip which benchmarks even better,.. and includes MQA.)
I do not need or use Bluetooth input, and have no devices with I2S.. (and I seldom listen to high resolution formats etc.)
This product deserves to be used.. so I will place it here for a (hopefully at this pricepoint) 'quick sale'.
Not wanting to muck around.. I am hoping that the price is good enough to simply make the next buyer extremely happy. (and probably has a higher resale value for those who have always wanted to try 'top of the (Topping) tree' house sound...
I am an AKM > Sabre chip person myself.. but DACs are 'so much more than the chip'.
IF I couldn't A/B with other parts of equal or higher price point.. this would still be in the Den setup (my best audio rig) most likely...
apols for a 'poor writeup' obviously I am selling it and it isn't cause it is broken etc.
I am an honest person.
I'd love to sell to a local, and deliver it direct today... (will drop price substantially for the first person willing to cash me up; I have my upgrade ready to go and the person is offering some nice USB cable/power filter/and USB filter I'd love to be able to add to the sale- hence my interest to 'fast sell')
