    DAC & SS Amp setup to replace Topping L70 and E70 Velvet

    I've used a Topping L70 and E70 Velvet for the past year without much issue, however as of late I've heard a lot of "Topping is bad" rhetoric, mostly involving things like a lack of "Spaciousness" and "Transients" (whatever that is).

    Which mid to high-end DAC/AMP should I get? I've found a few. Don't know which to choose.

    I am currently in search of a new DAC and headphone amp. My current gear is the SMSL SU-8 (DAC), THX 789 Massdrop (AMP) and Bravo Audio V2 (Tube amp). I am looking for a mid to high-end DAC/AMP combo that would be a good investment and last me years whilst sounding good of course. I am looking...

I have been lately thinking of upgrading this combination for something that is more detailed, gives a wider soundstage, and has a little more engagement and warmth. Because of this, I have been leaning...
