Hi all,
So this is current system:
Topping PA5 amp
Topping E50 DAC
Monitor Audio RS6 speakers
Mark Grant 4mm Hi-Fi cables and jumper cables
Topping TRS cables
This replaced a bi-amped Arcam AVR300, which is a bit of a legend and more musically capable than most stereo amps when bi-amped.
So, the PA5 has impressive clarity and speration, better than the Arcam.
However, it really lacks some omph and power. I'm not sure how better to describe it, the bass is clear and tight, but not as forward and powerful. It's almost as if a section of the lower mids and higher bass is missing.
I'm interested if anyone else finds this with their PA5? Or perhaps the Arcam just genuinely excelled here?
Thanks!
