Hello people!
So recently I just bought myself a nice new Topping D90 Discrete Headphone Amp and I was thinking.. hmmm.. this could be fun?
Boy oh boy am I disappointed!
My Ifi Zen Dac V2 which cost me 3 times less... can handle everything on it's own without any difference in quality of sound?!
I thought a dedicated amp was supposed to improve things pretty well especially with Planar headphones?! " Hifiman Edition XS "
No difference found at all when it comes to Music " Tidal " Gaming, Netflix or standard Youtube!
Am I doing something wrong here or are my headphones just not beefy enough to benefit from this amp?
I have them hooked up via balanced 2.5 cable so.. I believe I am hooked up properly and ready to go!
But I promise I hear absolutely no improvement at all in music with my eyes closed and truly just critically listening for something! anything!
I am 36 and not deaf.. am I just... gone past it or?!
Thanks guys!
Please say anything at all! Much appreciated!
