Hi Joshua, unfortunately Topping is misleading the customers with the output power of the Topping A50S: the 3,5W per channel (balanced) could be obtained only if you have a 4Vrms input, which you can not achieve using RCA connectors; you need XLR connectors for that which the A50S doesn't have. So the maximum output power from A50S is 1,95W.

1:50 - "Why would anyone use the A90 over the A30 Pro?" As an A90 owner, let me give you my pitch: The A90 launched in July(?) 2020 and I bought it about 9 months before the A30 Pro was released. If I were to buy again now, I'd almost certainly save some cash and get the A30 Pro. Not that I regret the A90 by any stretch, it's a phenomenal amp and I honestly love it, but if I could save $400~ for an almost negligible drop in performance? I'd be down.

Just get the Jotenheim

I’ve always been happy with my little listening setup. I used to just rock MoBo audio output and SennyHD599 but I recently upgraded from MoBo audio to a simple Modi+Magni Schiit stack and it’s been nice. Each time I upgrade, the difference always seems small but I’m also a lot better at picking up the little things than i used to be. When I switched from cheap gaming headsets to the Senny’s I mostly enjoyed the clarity of things like cymbals. In the past, they’d always stress the headsets I’d use and it made listening to many songs exhausting but aside from that, it wasn’t really a significant upgrade. The sound was definitely better overall but not by much. Now upgrading to the Schiit Stack, I notice some faint sounds that the onboard audio just didn’t do I guess but for the most part, it’s basically the same. I imagine this is as far as I’ll ever go with headphones though. I’m sure I’ll eventually pick up more sets of headphones and I might do speakers some day but I’m already at the point where I’m completely satisfied. I could grab an equalizer to finish the stack or I could grab a tube amp too for the heck of it but I have little interest in tampering with the sound profile of my current setup and honestly I don’t think I’d like waiting for the tube amp to warm up. I like how my current amp is good to go the moment I turn it on because if I have to wait, I’ll probably start reading and forget that I turned it on at all

I just went through this journey and went for the topping ex5 to pair with my HD6XXs. Absolutely fantastic combo and the price is insane for what you get.

i have had the A50s/d50s/p50 stack for six months and its so beautiful. Use it on my dt 1990 pros, Sundara and Focal Elegia... Best decision made to get into audio set ups. Getitttttttttt

These complete set up videos are awesome. Keep doing them 😀

an honest and well made advice. Thanks Josh!

This is a helpful video, especially for those who, like me, some months ago, are just starting to explore how to grow and upgrade their collection.

I am a person who doesn't like the LCD-X and does like a little more omph from their electronics. I recommend getting the LCD-2c, which I've owned and loved. When you're ready, maybe step up to the LCD-4, which I currently own and love. As for the electronics, if you can spare the space, get an Audio-gd D28 for ~$1k. If you can spare more space and money, get an R28. Same amp, bigger box, R2R DAC. I have the discreet R1 and it replaced my Denafrips Venus. I also have a discrete Master 19 and it is the best solid state amp I have owned. Either of the all in one units should be within 90+% performance. Probably 95+. Instead of $2100, these setups start around $15-1600 if you get LCD-2c B-stock like I did. My LCD-4 are B-stock too.

If using Spotify, pull that 1800Hz gain down to 3.0dB. The Ogg Vorbis is a little bright. I don't like how it handles low bass lines, either, which is the main reason I took the very low frequencies back to the headphone's normal. Bass lines still sound good on FLAC, but are less offensive on Ogg Vorbis this way.

You're a bit too adjusted to the Topping sound ... I've tried many amp/dac and the topping for me never impressed me much except that in general they're clean and detailed ... I just feel like it's not the best listening experience. For the price I think the Liquid Spark is without a doubt killing the A50S or the Schitt magnius that you mentioned for the LCD-X. Add some warmed to them and make them much more enjoyable.

Thanks. So the A30 Pro would be a good match for the HD800s, Beyer T1's? I have been after a A90 for the longest time, but they are very expensive here $900NZD..

Are those Apos flow cables thick at the connectors? I despise the veiny compensating look but they didn’t look so bad in this video??

I was going to get the D70s and the A90. You've just saved me some money. I'll get the D30 and the A30 instead.

Idk why, but I like those XLR cables. Are they sold as a set??

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the d30 pro has better measurements. Other than power. But has less THD through the balanced ports. Obviously it doesn’t have the extra features but it measures better. I think a d30 pro with an a90 would be a better stack for my personal needs.

For whatever reason, I never liked the LCD-X, when I've heard it at shows. But owned LCD-2c and loved them. I upgraded to LCD-4 a year or so ago and I love those even more. With Audeze, I recommend finding a local dealer and asking for B-stock units. I got my new LCD-2c for $550 and my new LCD-4 for $2800. I could not find any blemish what so ever on either one. I also recommend Audio-gd products. I started out a long time ago with an NFB-10SE. That's a DAC/amp from 10ish years ago. I spent a lot of money on other gear since then, only to bring out my old NFB-10 and realize that I still preferred its signature. Last week I received my new R1 DAC and Master 19 and I am pretty sure this will be my end game. I'm going to be selling off some other, much more expensive gear that I flat out don't like as much. For less money, I would suggest that an Audio-gd D28 or R28 would be the way to go and probably within 95% the performance of these discrete components. Don't get me wrong, I have an A90 too and used that for over a year. It beat more expensive gear as well. I would put it in the caragory of 'you will buy one and genuinely want for nothing. Until you hear something different that you prefer.' Everyone says they want an amp with no personality of its own. But with no flavor of its own, something WILL come along that you like better. Audio-gd has a very dynamic and powerful sound, but natural at the same time. Like a heightened sense of reality. Maybe not for someone who wants a very relaxed listening experience, but I love it!

@@badgermcbadger1968 To my ear, significant enough, yes. I'm still rocking the R1 and Master 19. I like them enough that I upgraded my cables a bit and am calling my headphone system finished for the foreseeable future. The Solaris isn't getting as much use as it should, but I still love to listen to it when I have time for a longer session. To answer your question more directly, I find the difference in electronics to be more about sound stage and presentation. My THX 789, Topping A90, Audio-gd gear (all solid state) and my Audiovalve Solaris (tube amp) ALL have very similar tonality, frequency response and resolution. But as I move up that line, I get a bigger sound, more dynamics and a deeper, more three dimensional sound stage. This makes for a more engaging, lifelike and enjoyable presentation. The Master 19 probably has the highest outright resolution, most dynamics and maybe even the deepest sound stage front to back. Even over the Solaris, but all by very slim margins. On the other hand, the tube sound permiates the space inside the stage more fully and more naturally. Each individual instrument or voice is more three dimensional and in a better defined space. It is also a little smoother. It does a better job with acoustic instruments, drums and electric guitar. Again, by slim margins. All this said, the headphones themselves make the biggest difference. You have to find a set you like before you go down the rabbit hole with electronics. But I still stand by my earlier recommendation to just pick up an Audio-gd D28 or R28 and not worry about anything else for a long time. Or on a lower budget, I think that a Schiit Jotunheim with their new ESS 9028 module would be a really safe bet too. My other audiophile buddy with all kinds of other gear picked one up and he loves it. And I've liked other Schiit products I've heard, including my Vidar that I recently acquired from him.

Just got the z1r headphones but I don't know if my amp and dac Is powering them to the fullest extent they still sound very good though

is the topping dx3 pro + good for the hifiman xs?

Periapt cables are about $77 for the audeze connection in 5 foot. I have a set for my lcd-x. Great quality for less than $100. Pretty much any color is possible

Your honest assessment, topping a30 pro or Smsl SH-9? What is your proposal? Thank you

Great video!! I’m trying an HD660S (more comfortable for me compared to DT1990). I have a FiiO K5 Pro though, would I hear any difference by going to your Topping stack? (Schiit is difficult to obtain here in EU). Thanks!!!

not really...k5 pro is enough for hd 660s...don't worry. if you want to try something different you can try another chip aka Burr-Brown for ex. I have hd660s connected to a Zen dac and i use the balanced connection for more power. I like more the sound tub'ish from Burr-Brown.
