Haha, this is so true. Already heard the Susvara and TOPL Abyss. Susvara is my destiny, no doubt.
But, for now, I am addicted and happy with Arya/A90/D90. That is a good sign, because I have a strong case of upgradetitus, the Arya/A90 is my vaccine for now.
Interesting how I experience the A90 to be clearly less harsh with my Arya in comparison to the SMSL SP200. This is clearly a very personal/subjective experience, and highly dependant on the headphone. You run balanced cables?
I have the Arya with DX7 Pro and SP200 right now, so you really think the A90 is much less harsh compare to the SP200? I might have to get the A90, but I"m afraid of the wobbly volume knobs that ppl are having.

Guy doesn't have the money to purchase one all he gotta do is save his money, measurements means a lot,so you won't over pay for inferior product but is not the end game,so called high price product is not always better,most times it inferior,but people gotta make money, I don't buy pretty, that said if it sounds good to you,than it's good enough for you.

Agreed however am referring to the sound, thats all. Nonetheless, which would you prefer between Susvara and Abyss just sound preference and overall quality alone.
My opinion, A90 much better, if you will buy from from authorized dialer you will have one month to decide, if you not will like it just return, and get money back,any way each person has different taste
I have a question on A90 with owners, I want to use Hugo 2 as a DAC but only option to connect to A90 is via RCA cables, do you think it's worth buying D90 DAC with XLR connection to have better synergy and SQ or I am better off with Hugo 2 connecting with RCA. Thanks
Hello fellow A90 / D90 owners, I think I've finally worked out the noise issues I was having with the A90 / D90 MQA with RCA / USB by re-cabling with cables focused on removing noise from the signal path. Rather than repeat everything here I'll share the link to the ASR posts - there are more posts following in these ASR threads:
If you have any questions or comments please post them here.
The A90 / D90 MQA have never sounded better, I am so glad I went through the time and expense to get new cables, the noise floor is so low and the sound is so much more detailed and dynamic.
I'll be playing a bit more with "better" noise reduction cables and I'll update here and there, but I think these are the most affordable yet most effective at reducing the various noise inputs I was experiencing.

I use my A90 by my bedside because it is the perfect size for an end table. Using my Mojo/Poly (in fixed pre-amp mode) via 3.5mm to RCA sounds very good. While burning it in at my seated headphone station connected via XLR to a PS Audio Directream DSD and AK380cu via XLR cradle, I noticed the SQ from (input) XLR and RCA have the same sound level when the OUTPUT is 4.4mm or XLR. Your Hugo 2 is the better DAC over the D90. The D90 is a fine DAC, if a bit lean and analytical. The Hugo 2 is much more musical and authoritative. I use Roon with the Mojo/Poly and you could as well with the addition of the Chord 2Go with your Hugo 2.
