“J is back! The keeper of the light! All hail J! All hail J! Oh J can you see by the dawn’s early light.”

This looks quite nice! I have kept my Emotiva XDA-2 for years now and only yesterday wondered if I would ever try it out as a preamp.

I doubt it as I much prefer integrated amps or an AVR but this Topping is tempting. Topping makes me think of the Constance Bennett/Cary Grant film, “Topper”.

The Topping is pretty nice looking but not quite the “Metropolis” Fembot that Constance would make. I would doubtless use the Topping as just a DAC, albeit a nice looking one! I semi-digress…Would that still be digressing to some?

Welcome back oh keeper of the light!
