Topping PRE90 Preamplifier Balanced / Single-Ended Preamplifier NFCA

$1,069.00 inc GST


Topping’s Pre90 is a high-performance preamplifier based on a fully balanced circuit and high-performance NFCA modules.

It also benefits from a high quality volume attenuator and easy control, thanks to its front panel display. Pre90 uses the similar NFCA (Nested Feedback Composite Amplifier) module from flagship A90. Voltage Current hybrid feedback architecture along with UHGF (Ultra High Gain Feedback) technology provides excellent DC and AC performance. Ultra-low noise of 0.3uV is miles ahead of the competition, giving an absurdly high dynamic range of 145dB and no audible noise.

Great Unit

I’m not an audiophile so right or wrong these are my impressions. Great preamp making the sound from my system sound super clear, clean and precise compared to what I’m used to. Vocals have a level of clarity I haven’t experienced before. It doesn’t seem to introduce sound that is harsh or edgy which I’m sensitive to and dislike. Nor does it cover you in a warm blanket. So far it seems pretty honest, but only had it a few days. The unit loses stars for the terrible remote control operation which is a well known design issue still not resolved by Topping (they say they are actively working on it with no timeframes given, so who knows). You basically have to point the remote directly at the unit or it won’t work (I know there are IR extender workarounds). Super frustrating and disappointing. Otherwise a great unit. PS have always received great service from the Rapallo AV team.

Features

  • TOPPING Pre90 Preamplifier: Fully balanced amplifier structure for both balanced and single-ended signals. Pre90 could set volume memory for each input or volume memory for each output. More easy operation with the remote controller.
  • Selectable XLR / RCA output: The output of Pre90 could be config to “XLR only”, “RCA only” or “XLR + RCA “. Therefore, the amplified signal can be connected to two different amplifiers. Good combination with EXT90 D90.
  • Ultra-high Performance NFCA modules: It provides excellent DC and AC performance. Ultra-low noise of 0.3uv is miles ahead of the competition, giving an absurdly high dynamic range of 145db and no audible noise and darkest background.
  • Ext90 (not included) could extend you more inputs: A standard Pre90 provide you 1 x RCA and 1 x XLR stereo inputs. But when it working with a Ext90, they could provide totally 2 x RCA and 4 x XLR stereo inputs. This is enough for multi source systems.
  • Relay volume control: A large number of high quality Japanese small signal relayIsed volume control of Pre90. Brings the advantages of precise control remote control, longevity, and complete channel balanceIf the volume was set high while turn on or switch in, Pre90 will automatically reduced to a safe volume to avoid your speakers/headphones blown by sudden high volume.
