Thanks, I appreciate it
If I find deals I’m going to share them
Nice, so you’ve got your order down. Welcome to the clears + rnhp club. Lol. Hope you enjoy the set.

Sorry, was just visited by family. Built my nephew quite a nice computer (Ryzen 3600 [4.3GHz OC] + 1660 Super [1950/7000Mhz OC]).
Anyway, yeah I guess I’m committed now. I bought the Clear for $970.95 and RNHP for $403.95 – by what I can find that’s the cheapest I was ever gonna get either of those new (well, open box, but whatever). Then knocked off an additional $20 from the referral (thanks!). Probably the best deal possible, (especially for the red version). I see on their site I got their last open-box Clear and RNHP, wow.
I signed-up for their website because it looks like a good site to me, and I used their 5 month 0% No-Credit-Check financing so that I don’t have to eat the whole cost right away either. That’s a pretty awesome feature if I say so myself.
Now all that remains is the DAC and cables, more or less. I’ll hunt around for deals on the Topping D90 but given how new it is I figure I’ll just be paying the $700.
But yeah, I skipped over the BS trying to save money and decided to just go for it. I do hope this’ll knock my socks off.

Hopefully you really enjoy it 
Cables, just use some amazon basics or something like that and you will be just fine
Even if not, at the price I got these, they’d be resellable possibly even for more than I bought them. That was on my mind when I pulled the trigger, “Even if things go south I could probably flip these or at the very least I’d certainly make my money back”.
Just hunting around for the D90 now. Looking like I may just have to go for it, unless I decide something else is adequate enough but hell I’m already this far in may as well go for all premium.
Are there any kinds of earpads or anything I should know about?
I would stick with stock earpads as I think they are the best for the sound
Fair enough.
Looks like on the Topping I’ll need USB or IIS LVDS to make use of the full functions of the DAC. I think I’ll choose the latter, but continue to use the SPDIF when listening to sources it can support.
I haven’t messed with this kind of stuff for a while. I’ll need to look into WASAPI and ASIO drivers and stuff again.
The topping with usb being preferable imo
Also towa just got his rnhp for his clear and posted some impressions
Awesome! Yeah I see he’s pairing it with the ENOG 2 Pro. I’m considering that if the D90 turns out to be too pricey. But I think I can afford it.

Assuming the MQA version will be close to as much as the standard I may just wait until it’s available March 1st.
Yeah I think I’ll wait on it – plus Drop may get ahold of it too.
In the meantime I’ll just drive it off my Modi, knowing it’s not ideal just yet. I’ll get to selling my existing equipment in the meantime and such.
I had the Topping D90, but eventually just decided to ‘downgrade’ to the Enog 2 Pro, as they sounded more or less identical to my ears when A/Bing them and the price difference is pretty big. I thought the D90 might be ever so slightly better through balanced… but it wasn’t a difference that was big enough to really pinpoint or say specifically what it was. Enog 2 Pro single-ended definitely sounded about just as good as the D90, even balanced.
Also partly because I ordered the ARES 2, which is on backorder and I have to wait several weeks for it.
Just shows how good the enog 2 pro is lol. The rnhp also scales very well with dacs, I’m using mine with a lavry quintessence and it sounds excellent (I swear I’m not stupid it’s part of my studio setup lol)
