Back to the DAC
FYI, when I ordered they only had 7 left in stock (in black).  
Back to the DAC
@nonoise Yes, the hype train is in full force.  I read the 6 Moons comments and figured I'd give it a shot.  I am happy with my Topping but feel its a bit electronic/choppy on some material.  For example the vocals on Pros and Cons of Hitchiking... 
Back to the DAC
I decided to be the first to jump in with the LAiV (the guinea pig!) I will report my impressions (not measurements, my subjective impressions) in comparing the LAiV to my: Theta GenV Pro, Topping D90SE and the built in Sony ES, Oppo and Lexicon.... 
Thinking of trying the new Schiit Skoll to replace my Rega MCFono
I just ordered one as I dust off my TT after years of pure digital.  Lets see......  
Topping D90 bass bloat?
I think your issue is related to the output gain setting.  On APOS' page it says:   The Topping D90 digital-to-analog converter (DAC) has a volume control function that can be disabled to make the D90 function as a DAC that produces output level... 
Room Treatment suppliers
I have Seven Audio treatments (from Poland).  Excellent quality and workmanship.  Also, less expensive than GIK and Vicoustic. I imported a whole pallet of treatments for my room.  I also have my old trusty ASC tube traps. Do yourself a favor an...

Thanks for the heads up.  Got Solen from Solen.ca @carlsbad2 did you notice a change with the better caps? I have an EMIM which is "dim" and I have tested everything, so what is left are the caps.      
Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore!
@aldermine You are correct.  I bought a pre-amp from one of the advertisers here and on AudioMart.  We had various phone calls about my system and what I was looking for.  I was in the middle of an out of state family trip and our calls were after... 
Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore!
Down here in the South East there are a couple but are by appointment only. I’ve been to a couple and frankly they have rubbed me the wrong way but I understand. The market here for most everything is pretty ridiculous with influencers thus hard f...
