    Jerry, I feel sure.
    I only have a 'Son of T' amp, an earlier incarnation of chip amps.

    I should spend a few hours browsing at Audio Science Review forum, where it's been discussed at some length. Not many subjective impressions to be sure, bit that's not wholly a negative thing when trying to evaluate from a distance!

    FWIW it looks an absolute cracker of a DAC and I'd happily audition one myself. I recently jumped onto an SMSL M-500 and could not be happier - I'm astonished at digital progress in what seems like the last eighteen months!

    I'm sure the D90 is quite superb, but I'm not tempted as I have the D70 that I am more than happy with and managed to get at roughly half the price of the D90 ...

    I have my eyes on the Topping DX7Pro. Fantastic (objective) reviews...but it may be overkill in my system as I do not have any balanced inputs or outputs or AES or IIs! However, I do need a headphone output -otherwise the cheaper D70 or D50S would fit the bill - and I demand excellent SQ hence my wanting the advanced chipsets in this unit. I also like the idea of a screen and remote. If I get one I'll do a review after a lengthy burn-in (which I understand they need).

    Many of the latest Topping units seem in short supply - or not available at all.Probably caused by the the outbreak of COVID-19 in China. Has anyone got a D90-or even a D70Pro or 50S in the UK?

    Yup not much coming out of there at moment. The nura headphones were stopped producing while this is ongoing. Certainly if they turned up I would be putting box somewhere safe for a while before opening

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I'd like to put one of these up against my Golden Gate 2 to see what all the measurement obsessives are focussing on. Will probably look for one early in the year to try out
