Were these problems ever rectified by later revisions and the new 100a version?? And if somebody has had experience w/ the Topping T20 and the Dayton 100a amp, how do they compare?
Not really comparable amps are they?
AMP5 uses TA2022 and isn't too good a performer with respect to THD+N and AMP6 uses TA2020, which sounds nice, but is a toy compared to a good TK2050 implementation. Which the amp on trial here obviously isn't.
AMP4 is the horse for the course, and will last at least twice as long as this sweatshop product....
New PE catalog has a sale on refurbs. At $50 it looked like a good deal but after reading this thread i think i will pass.
I just got that email flyer, which is how I ended up here--like you I think I'll pass...
LOL, after some more research it sounds like they may have resolved some build issues...but I can only assume the refurbs are the ones returned by customers due to those exact build issues. Personally, I'd rather spend my cash on something that was built right the first time.
everyone says they will pass.id like to see the inside of the model revision.not the 50$ b-stock either those are obviously the old crappy ones.has anyone seen the insides of the dta100a?
From what I have been told, the old ones had a very bad volume pot which was causing the channel volume differences. That was fixed along with a few other mods to the dta-100a version. I would presume the refurbed ones have just had the pots replaced....
the old ones had issues thats for sure.look at the first post in this thread thats very clear.if the "a" revision is vastly improved it might be worth it.
Well it is questionable as to whether the DTA-100 refurbished units have been brought to DTA-100a spec. If they have, $50 is a good deal. If they haven't, there are better options out there for the price I think.
I got mine sometime in 2011 and had to wait about 3 months before it shipped bc PE said they were improving the quality. I love mine! I bought a second one several months later for another room but haven't hooked it up yet. On the outside the thing is perfect. I hope the insides were cleaned up but will not open mine. What I can't see is best left inside the very good looking case. I use mine with my pc and some pretty good full range drivers.
I prefer this amp to the smaller, plastic Dayton amp (I have three of those... one died but the other two are well used in my two sons rooms). They have good speakers and use their pc as source too... sometimes they use their iPods.
I also bought the Lepai thing and returned it without even hooking it up. It arrived scratched up and felt like garbage in my hands. The Dayton products were miles ahead.
