Looks like this new amp from Topping is finally out! Specs on it look pretty good. I just populated the product page for those curious https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/topping-a50s.24662/ I liked the L30 so it's good to see this has the 4.4mm out and circuitry and there's even an optional...

That said my first impression of the HP-A4BL with another Modded Fostex is that it's a little noisy and a lacking some power. With music that was mastered at what I'd consider an average level I could get to a max of 87 dBs with music and 64 dBs with pink noise from the balanced output. The...

So I've had my Sextett MP for a while now and I really like it, I use it more than anything I own just because of how well rounded it is for my needs! It's light weigh, sufficiently resolving, spacious and fairly balanced. Though I do run it balanced out of my NFB10ES2 so having that amp does...
