How many amps do think the AH90 needs? I found the suggestion for the Polish LPS well argued
Of the power requirements of individual chips and boards? No

What Gustard has said!It is recommended to use an external linear power supply of 2.5A and above.
12 to 15 volt,More than 15V is bad and may damage the device.
3A is ideal, 5A is even better.
No now only 12 V not 15V.What Gustard has said!
Not 15 V my recent post is from GustardNo now only 12 V not 15V.
If 12V it will be fine. It will never need 6 Amps but if you have them now, it should be fine. I received the values I posted directly from Zhangshan a day before I posted them here...and I suppose a LPS 12v with 6A is no problem, but I want to be sure ?

Not sure what you mean here.Not 15 V my recent post is from Gustard
ThanksNot sure what you mean here.
The AH90 can be 12-15v as stated both in the manual and confirmed by Mr. Zhang of Gustard on page 5 of this thread.
The streamer/renderer is not poor in the R26/A26/AH90. From a sound quality standpoint it beat nearly every streamer we threw at it under $1500.I read various comments online that said the streamer in the R26 is rather poor. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it true or just in ‘comparison’ to the higher quality DAC.
Curious about a possible upgrade path from a AH90. If you switch to the r26, but then also need to upgrade the steamer the step is quite steep.
As the AH90 is newer, maybe the streamer is better and if so, by how much?
So to be even more specific:I read various comments online that said the streamer in the R26 is rather poor. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it true or just in ‘comparison’ to the higher quality DAC.

The A26/R26 will be a better sounding dac for sure. But the AH90 is no slouch.So to be even more specific:
- AH90 with proper upgraded LPS (€ 600 + 300 = € 900)
- Second hand R26 (lucky if at € 1000/1200)?
Given your experience, how would you rate these setups? (Messed up question, but here I go ):The A26/R26 will be a better sounding dac for sure. But the AH90 is no slouch.
