Wonder how a Topping A90/D90 MQA stack would sound compared to an iFi ProiDSD? Would love a one box solution. Would also love to not spend a grand if I don't have to.
I’m with you on same page, I bought d90 like 4 weeks ago, but ......, d90 didn’t sound good enough with out a90, before I had THX 889

I don’t have big experience , i bout my first planar and amp like 6 months ago, for this time I had sennheiser hdvd 800, topping d70 with THX 789, and couple more, and I can say now I have overall the best sound, I just change headphones to quad era 1, also sound great. How do you like yours stack? Sorry for my English!((

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts!
There are not many folks talking about the synergy between d90/a90 compared to d90/THX.
I have d90 hooked up to THX789 and I just got the a90.
You are tempting me to ABx now
Because most people do not care about synergy level with amps and dacs. The tonality changes are very small increment.

Could you advise me if I will make a good decision? I am thinking of buying the A90, but I do not know if it has a good synergy with my Sendy Aiva, or if I should buy a sp200, I do not know what is the use of knowing which of the two amplifiers is better if they do not make an excellent synergy with my Aiva, I hope you can help me thanks

Hi, unfortunately I’m not expert and I can’t give you advice, i synergy d90 with THX 889 and my opinion, d90 much better synergy with d90, plus I don’t have to have a deal to sale THX, I just send back today and will get my money back, that’s why in my situation it wasn’t hard decision, i don’t know if I have to keep THX ...,probably I will, synergy with THX wasn’t terrible at all, with a90 just much Mach better, sorry I didn’t give you any advice !

That's a fair question, I'd like to know the answer myself. Topping has been getting a lot of love on HF :L3000:

Alrighty. I have narrowed down my amp search to the GS-X mini and Topping A90. I'll be connecting the amp to my RME ADI-2 FS. Need to look for direct comparisons now. Huuuuge price difference though. Im tempted to order both now and try myself, but it would still be a month or so before I can get my headphone XLR cables.

Honestly the A90 seems a good companion to a linear DAC like the RME. Don't overthink.
