I bought it after hearing that this amp can support most of the headphones out there. What I didn't expect is to never get even to the half of what it can output. I never tried it on max volume as I'm afraid to damage my Focal headphones. And it sounds fantastic as well, very clean and clear.
axxx123If you can get one, do it. I've bought and sold a lot of amplifiers, but I just can't get past how good this is. Keeping it with a Topping D10b which is simplicity itself. Just one power cord, no bluetooth or MQA hocus pocus. This powers the Hifiman HE6Se wonderfully, just use a balanced DAC for the extra voltage. Also the Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm is good even on medium gain on the less powerful 6.35mm connector, it's a lot of power to work with. I could see using high gain for the Beyers if you equalize and do a big preamp reduction, but not normally.
I compared last night to the A30Pro and the A90 has a larger soundstage, but they sound pretty much the same otherwise. The A30Pro will also heat up the room pretty good (1-2 F) since it's class A when it has 250ohm or higher on it. The Sabaj A20d DAC and SMSL M300 MKII also work/sound great. I even lined out a Soundblaster X1 into the RCA for surround sound gaming and it was fun! If you use a DAC like the M300 the filters and colors are much easier to notice with the A90 just because of the clarity/transparency it has.
Maybe they'll do another drop now the SE version is out. I also hope they do a drop for the Beyerdynamic T90 and T70 (listening to the T90 and it's so detailed, amazing with the A90/D10b combo).
