What model are you having issues with?: Topping A70pro
Describe your issue with the most detail you can: Every once in a long while my amp shuts off and clicks right back on, couldn’t be more than a second. I know it’s my amp and not the dac because I hear a click which the DAC doesn’t produce. Headphones are Focal Elex on a harmonicdyne zeus 4.4pentacon adapted to XLR 4-pin. DAC is SMSL SU-9
How long ago was it purchased?: A70 purchased November ‘23 SMSL purchased November ‘22 Focal Elex purchased March ‘23 XLR adapter purchased very recently, I haven’t paid attention to what past the dac/amp has been used when this happens but the timing says the adapter is suss. But it’s intermittent…. There shouldn’t be any issues as it’s balanced to balanced?
*It happened again today on a different cable, no adapter. When I looked at the amp the VU meter wasn’t off or wasn’t turning back on. All I know is the sound stops and the amp clicks.
Now that I think about it, this has been happening for a few months. I thought it was a tidal thing because I normally put everything on low and listen to music. But it doesn’t click off most of the time. I haven’t really paid attention to whether it’s all audio or just music. I’m going to see what warranty it has but I doubt it’s 2 years. If it doesn’t get worse I can easily live with it. ***I know it isn’t clipping due to the VU meter
