    Thanks for the interesting comparison! What can you say when comparing the naturalness of the sound of live instruments and voices? It seemed to me that the A90D (A90) sounds less natural than Class A amplifiers (for example, the HiFiMan EF 400).

      I would say the A90D sounds more natural to me, the Singxer has a small roll off in treble my opinion that makes it sound less natural when i’m using my hifiman he-6sev2
      However if your using a bright headphone than maybe the singxer sounds better because it takes off some of the treble glare

    It has multiple levels of gain. So maybe adding a switch in the front will degrade the audio. Or it will add more cost to implement a quality switch in the front.
    Definitely a great headphones amplifier to add another flavour.

      i think so it does make it much more awkward to use

    Singxer sa1 jumper mod is worth a look. Set it and boy was it a upgrade:10% more of everything. 😅

      heard of it! i couldnt test on this since it was a review unit lol

    how was the a90d bass compared to sa-1 for bass extension/impact/dynamics/texture?

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      like i said its from memory but I think A90d had better texture and extension, the impact and dynamics i thought were pretty close. But the A90D has this thickness to it that makes me lean towards the A90D for dynamics

    I would not consider the Topping A90D a top tier amplifier. Sure, it has nice specs and measures well, but it is very limited on power and there are a lot of headphones that it just can't drive. I ended up replacing mine with an iFi iCAN Signature and have no regrets whatsoever.

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      nice i have the ifi ican signature too!

    Flip the unit to it bottom for accessing H/L gain? Wow... i wonder what else they thought while designing this amp.

    I have A90D now. Looking for an upgrade... This Singxer does not appear to be it. :) Gonna have to be fully Class A. GS-X Mini, maybe try MLP for fun. Burson Soloist 3XP was too sharp/bright.

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      interesting yeah the a90d is really good of course theres always something more interesting on the market. The Burson Soloist was on my radar for a while but still havent been able to try it. I guess it using "discrete op amps" made me a bit skeptical for the price they charging

      Thank you for your comment. I wanted to upgrade my A90 for the A90D or Singxer but you’re comment and this video may have changed my mind.

    @soulfulfool ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Its not a bad amp but I expect more from it. I guess that good class A amps starts at 1000$+

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      yep thats why I bought the ican xD

    • @ryanhostudio
      @ryanhostudio  ปีที่แล้ว
