Have been using it for almost a month now and thought I could share my experience with it. I used it with Headphones as well as IEMs and I can definitely hear a difference in clarity and fullness of the music I played with it.
I mainly use a desktop setup (Benchmark HPA2 / Benchmark DAC 1 PRE / Rebel AMP), and wanted a new portable amp (I use a Sony PHA 2 for many years and use a Fiio BTR7 as well) and G5 is definitely an upgrade. I still like the Fiio BTR 7 for just how portable and nice it sounds through bt, but as expected of Topping, the G5 just sounds great.
I bought mine and loved it and thought I would give my two cents to people interested in pre-ordering here on Drop. Definitely recommend it.

Tonk4tsuIs the G5 much of an upgrade on the BTR7 in terms of the sound? I know the BTR7 is much smaller so would be far more convenient than the G5 in terms of the size for portability.
I have a BTR5 already but was looking for something with a bit more power but am torn between the G5 or BTR7..

JcorHello!
I would say that the sound from the G5 sounds fuller and cleaner, has better bass, similar to a desktop setup. The BTR7 sounds a bit brighter to me. I will say that if you are looking something for portability, the BTR7 would be the way to go. The G5 is definitely portable, but for how small the BTR7 is vs how it sounds it would be the better choice. I am using the G5 with a laptop and the BTR7 for commute/everyday carry.
Now if it were up to me based on your setup, I would keep the BTR5 and just go ahead and get the G5. If later you want to upgrade the BTR5 there are other options like the Fiio KA5 which sounds amazingly good and it's super portable.
Sorry for the long reply, hope it helps!

Tonk4tsuThat's great and no need to apologise for the reply. I'd rather a long, detailed reply than something short with no real detail :)

Tonk4tsuWould you recommend it for Sennheiser HD6XX (and maybe also for Meze 99 on low gain setting)? Also, I missed the drop, but I could buy it locally for 300$ with Black Friday, would this be a good price? I assume it wasn't significantly lower on this platform.

q_infestHey q_, so I have used it with my 6xx no problem, sounded phenomenal. About the price I would say that if it's local buy then the price seems reasonable, online you can get it for as low as $230USD or so I think, normally around $250 last I checked, which it was a while back.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
