Do you have the D90 in DAC mode? Not pre-amp?

yes

Do you have the original cable to test. I'm using medium gain at about 1 o' clock and its plenty loud.

Do you have the same issue using the stock cable single ended?

single ended in A90 is not good lack of power. I have a noticeable improvement with balance cable for sure.

I disagree, single ended, medium gain around 1 o clock has plenty of volume for me. I'm still waiting on a balanced cable, but no complaints in regards to power.....

I don't remember how the sound volume was in SE it was good but the same thing i was using it in high gain 2 o'clock and above. but with balance cable the dynamics will be much better

anyone compared this with benchmark hpa4 amp ? Are they even in the same league ?
this reviewer seems to think so

Thanks

The A90 is fantastic but you'll want to pair it with headphones accordingly. For me it was unforgiving on my slightly brighter than neutral headphones.

I thought the A90 was ever so slightly warm? Or still more flat than warm?

Anybody try the D90/A90 stack with Focal headphones? I'm worried it might become too bright/analytical.

I'd say it was perfectly flat and extended almost to a fault.

How well with the A90 work with the hifiman Susvara? I just ordered one A90 and waiting for it to be delivered

I use the stack with Utopias and it sounds fantastic. Your definition of bright may be different, but I don’t hear any sibilance or harshness. It just sounds clear and precise to me.
