It sounds thinner and with less bass because you don't have 2nd and 3rd order harmonics trailing the sound.
Like I said, you like the sound of distortion and that's fine. But the A90D is technically better than any tube amp.

As someone who has spent over 15 years contributing to various tube audio forums; building and designing all sorts of tube amplifiers, these reviews make me lol irl. Maybe I’m just over the tube magic already. There is no way the Topping A90D sounds worse than the Cayin. You like the sound of distortion, period.

I also started college as an EE major and switched to Business Administration 🤦🏻♂️. Yes, tubes are fun and beautiful to look at, and I still use them every so often, but technically they are inferior to todays technology. I’m especially impressed with the newest class-D amplification from Purifi and Hypex.
