Topping A90

[Gordilocks]

Yep that's Zeos Reviews all hype little substance

Its full of BS, am shocked ! Why would people take him so seriously ? Funny guy though.

Maybe they think he's Jack Black under the guise of an audio reviewer?

Probably. They fell for his chatm and personality.

For all I know Zeos never pretends to be a objective- or even serious reviewer

and yes..a lot is hype, it drives the consumer industry, you all know this right?

"drives the consumer industry", which its even worst ! More BS that we all dont need. Misleading and lies, perceptive. Why does the most BS reviewer gets the most products to be review ?

Also, people will believe the nonsense and hype, if positive reviews is given to bad products. For example, beats solo 3 is better than the HD 650 hypothetically speaking, people probably might believe it, who knows. Misinformed and misinterpreted of false information and marketing hype with manufacturers such as Drop makes me boil sometimes. I accept the FACTS and have to respect that. At least the good side is that more better products and lower prices which drives innovation due to influence and hype. But still, very misleading.

Even if you want to show some subjective opinion, it should be done right but not make straight conclusion without proper evaluation and direct test. But at least I like his A/B test and straight to the point which is better, but not all reviews of course, sadly. Being subjective, opinion based does not means providing misleading information without proper evaluation.

No audio company come with bigger hype than Topping. My D30 deliver inferior sound comparing to the Realtek codec in a Sony laptop. It is probably due to fake opamps, like in those $40 Chineese DACs. I paid for Topping $130, such things should not happen at such price level. And now A90 comes with defective design for the asking price $500. Topping knew about it and didn't hold release. It is getting worse and worse. Hype is the same. Audiophiles are easy to manipulate

There's no other elements in your audio chain?

So I have been listening to the A90 for the past 2 weeks.... this amp has really opened up. Amazing, detailed crisp sound. I think it now beats the AAA 789 in sound quality by a hair. These are currently the amps I currently own

1. Auralic Taurus MKII
2. Original Massdrop THX AAA 789
3. Topping A90....

Been doing detailed comparisons between all my amps, and you guys will not believe what beats them all, like LITERALLY... The headphone amp in my old DENON AVR-5803 sounds BETTER than all the above amps with all my headphones (HD800S, K712 PRO, TH900 MK2). Now i am contemplating selling all my above so called headphone amps, LMAO.

Hello, that saying alot of how much praise you get out of the A90. Auralic Taurus MKII is very expensive right, like how much ? And for you to comment A90 better than Auralic Taurus MKII sound redundant...

Contemplating to sell all amps that includes the Taurus from your possesion

Try to get sound coming in through RCA ports, will see. I posted a link already, will post again if asked.

Rather wait for A30, it will have external PSU and should cost around $100, or wait till Topping update their $500 product.

Do we think Topping will release a THX amp? Like a A80 or A95. I'd like another Topping chassis to compliment my D7X Pro

No. Topping is trying to prove that THX is nothing special according to A90, A50s, L30 etc.. designer.
