This is a tall claim to make with a single point of data. ie. "I found a class A that sounds better than my class D therefore the topology must be better".

- JKCalhoun 3y agoThat's true. FWIW, I believe the amp used the fabled TA2022 chip that had all the audiophiles in an uproar for its quality relative to its price. I assumed though, correctly or incorrectly, that it was the topology of that gave me listening fatigue and not the specific chip set. I would ask you to try for yourself though.
- analog31 3y agoAn amusing coincidence, and not to contradict your experience, but the first review in the first "hit" when I googled TA2022 described it as less fatiguing than a conventional amplifier: >>> The best way I can describe the Topping compared to the NAD is that the sound is richer and "warmer" (I realize this may sound strange). Listening to music through the NAD for a while got tiremsome or fatiguing. I don't get this with the Topping. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RS7NZ301THAJP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B005VR0PQQ#RS7NZ301THAJP https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RS7NZ301THAJP/ref...
- JKCalhoun 3y agoHa ha, well a NAD is solid state I believe, not tubes.
