Topping A90 failure issues. Should I try a 3rd A90?

My first a90 got the same exact problems. I don’t use it as much, but after a few months or maybe even a year, it blew up. One of the channel, got statics problems just as described. Still within warranty, returned and exchanged for a second one. Did not used the second a90 until 3 months later. Right out of the box, power light blink red, after turned off but not right away. Than later, discover another problem. When used in high gain, music will blackout in spit second, kind of like a skip pause every 3 mins. Sometimes less sometimes more…Returned and just received my third a90. It is still in testing period. Not sure how long this will last…
I lost confident with Topping…😩

Wow! they get raved about over at Audio Science Review and get second from the top honors. I’d try a third, could have just been a bad batch of one component.

UPDATE, thanks all for comments. I did in fact receive a 3rd Topping A 90 and it has been working so far. 

Enjoy the music!

The Topping DACs are excellent bargains in high end audio and good examples of how high end audio is not about price but intention.

I am now using a Topping pre90 preamp and I am amazed how good it sounds. It does not have any features other than inputs and volume. However, the sound is extremely clean with nothing added. Cost is $599.

My other preamp is the CODA 07x which cost a lot more and adds warmth to the sound. 

I am very impressed by Topping.
