Compared with Fosi Stereo V3, Fosi ZA3, Aiyima A70. Used with a Wiim Ultra pre/dac.I liked the V3 the most, followed by the A70, then the ZA3, which Is felt was quite a letdown. Actually the V3 came very close or just as much fun as my Audiolab 6000A, which says something.Then this one came in. And I'm still awaiting the 2x Fosi V3 mono's.First impression, quite a wow! I expected them to be quite similar to the A70's or V3's, looking at the specs, but they have something extra. It's the combination of clarity, but also the warmth It still manages to give. A very pleasant treble. Quite heavy on the bass, which is pleasant with rock / pop. On higher volumed however It loses some control, especially the high frequencies become a bit harsh.With electronic music, ambient style, there's a really nice sense of space. And I kind of expected It to go overboard with bass in this genre, as the other amps are somewhat lighter on the low-end with pop/rock. But somehow they handle this very well too. Even though they're present, and not as airy and detailed as the Audiolab's or V3''s, they do have a nice punch and roundness to them, that doesn't make It sound boomy.The power is a bit lower than the others though. They don't have the same power, but what they drive (and which is more than enough for my Dali Spektor 2's) they do with optimal control, better than the Fosi's and Aiyama's. But the watts mentioned are peak-watts (If real at all), not RMS. So take this into account with harder to drive speakers.I reallly enjoy this Topping. But, I also really like the Fosi V3's. Both for different reasons. The V3 is more airy and detailed in the low frequencies and a generally very pleasant to listen to treble. This Topping has a bit more depth dynamics, things moving back and forward more and blackness in the background. Especially with older (rock/pop) music I really like the low-end of the Topping. I'm quite allround in my taste, so that's never easy for finding the perfect sound.The Topping also has a trigger input, which is kind of a must have, combined with the Wiim Ultra as pre/dac. Which the V3 stereo is lacking.This Topping however is 3 times the price of the V3's ... they're not really worth that price difference. Unless running them in are going to make the difference, we'll see. The V3's also cool better. The Topping can get quite warm. If you're on a budget It would be no-brainer.Topping doesn't have a good sheet looking at realiability however. And I'm still waiting for the V3 mono's to test out, which comes with auto on function. I'll update the review If I learn more.

It plays very nice, low noise level, a lot of details. But the power is not 140W or even 100W, more like 35W-40W. I don't know how they measure that power rating but it's very exaggerated.

Habe ihn statt eines anderen Verstärkers angeschlossen - mit genau den gleichen TRS- und Lautsprecherkabeln wie bisher. Alle Schalterstellungen ausprobiert, am Regler gedreht, aber kein Mucks. Enttäuschend.

pa5ii が届いたので pa3s から変えてみたけどホントに音作りがずいぶんと違いますね。pa3s の時のスピーカー付近に音がまとわり付く感じが無くなって音が開放的になりました。音像が広がった分、ボーカルの口も大きくなったけど神経質な感じが無くなったので音楽を聴くならこっちの方が好きですね。ノイズも感じなくなったので買い替えて正解だったです。

La calidad de sonido es suprema, para completar el par te recomiendo usarlo con el Topping E50, combinación brutal. 👌😎

以前PA5を半年ほど使い今回その改良版のPA５llの進化を確認したくて購入しました。そして音を出した瞬間に以前とは違うものをすぐに感じました。前モデルのPA5はコピー防止観点から入力回路をモジュール化しましたがこの部分の発熱によってトラブルが多く発生しました。PA5 llではこのモジュール部分の構造の大幅な見直しが行われました。その結果、PA5 llの音質は確実に進化していました。以前より更に音に透明感、厚み、濃さが増したように聞こえます。以前のPA5にあった電源のON/OFFや入力切替時の僅かなポップノイズも全くなくなり動作はとてもスムーズです。全体の発熱は以前のPA5とあまり変わりません。室温が20℃では人肌程度の温度で全く問題有りません。購入にあたっては私は以前使っていたAO200の後継モデルのAO200MKllと迷いましたがPA5 llを選択して正解だったようです。こうなると上位モデルのPA7も試してみたくなります。PA5 llの購入で迷うのがPLUSにするかどうかです。この2機種の違いをToppingに聞いたところ本体には違いは一切ないく同じであるとのことからPA5 llを選択しました。PLUSではパワーアップのため電源アダプターがより大容量のものになったりしています。
