whats this 10% special?

There is a code for a 10% discount given at the end of the review which is expected to be valid through the end of January. Quite a favorable review!

The AK4499 is now showing up in mobile dac/amps as well, from the +3000€/$ A&K SP2000 to the $540 YinLvMei M400 (somehow I think someone misspelled that v instead of an u).

<pedantry>

That's a pretty standard usage of 'v' to indicate ü as the Chinese name's written in pinyin. See here : http://pinyin.info/news/2009/v-for-u/

</pedantry>

I just put an order to yinlvmei m400. And we will see how it goes.

Please do report your findings back here when you are ready! I for one am very keen to see reviews about this dac/amp. Good listening!

Some prototype measurements

From what I've seen Gustard are unlikely to have a great implementation, if past products are anything to go by. Toppings D90 likely the better bet.

I am really interested in feedback on the YinLvMei M400 though.

They were using high end Sabre DACs which are a pain in the ass to implement properly.

I am staying away from the D90 because of the analog section seems meh for the price and I don't care about Bluetooth.

 

[NZtechfreak]

It wasn't the DAC so much as sound quality losses with their discrete output stages, as I understand it. We'll see how it turns out though, ASR will probably get one to measure quite quickly.

The Topping D90 is more enjoyable than my Metrum Pavane...I know this sounds rather strange but the thing is really good.
Have received one this morning and letting it run in.
Superfast shipping...7 days from ordering to delivery in New Zealand.
Not regretting the purchase...at all!

 

[NZtechfreak]

The D90 measures extremely well, not surprised to hear it sounds great. Where are you in NZ?

How's it sounding compared to the DX208?

 

[artpiggo]

I think it is better than dx208 when using UAPP with samsung S10+.

Detail retrieval is top notch for sure. I hear a lot of micro detail.
