So I’ve been considering diving in the Hi Fi rabbit hole for nearly a year now and recently had a chance with a bonus to snag a Topping D90/A90 as a bit impulse. I really liked the physical aesthetic and they seemed fairly universally praised technically.
Now I’ve definitely put the cart before the horse and hadn’t sorted out a (open) headphone to pair with them.
I had previously been thinking about picking up Elex headphones but am semi concerned it would be wasted / lopsided on a D90/A90 stack?
I’m waffling between returning the stack (still in box) and recalibrating with cheaper dac/amp or finding something appropriate to pair with the stack.
I guess I’m basically trying to figure out if my original Elex idea would be fine or if I “should” be looking at like LCD-X or Focal Clear ‘level’ headphones? Is there anything that pairs particularly well with D90/A90?
Thanks for thoughts and suggestions!
