    Default Topping D90

    Hi All
    I am seriously considering one of these Dacs
    I've read some reviews online,but I thought I would ask members on here for their advice
    I know they are new and wondered if any members had any experience with them
    How do they compare with other dacs etc,such as Auralic Vega for example
    Where is the best place to buy one?
    Thanks all
    Stay safe

    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 would say it has it in spades, though I would contend that it depends on your supporting kit.

    I am considering one, and wonder how it fares with a Benchmark.

    My kit is
    Tube Distinctions Soul amplifiers and Soul Mate or Dave Slagle Autoformer
    Cec Tl1x transport
    Quad Esl57s,total rebuild by A Quad thing on Sheldon Stokes stands or Proac 1sc on target R4 stands
    Twin balanced mains for amps and sources
    Rfc Reference Mercury interconnects and Audio Note silver from transport to dac
    Townshend Isolda speaker cable
    Two something solid equipment racks
    I hope this helps

    Big gains in changing the speaker cable I am sure Alan can help you there
    CEC tranny is fine nice and full bodied and TM amps are nice as well
    Coherent Systems
    Real high end sound with musicality not hifi
