Selling great output transformerless headphone amplifier. Condition is like new, goes fantastic with high impedance headphones, especially Senns 6xx, 600, 650.. Reason for a sale is reducing amount of equipment. I will give Mullard 6080 NOS & 6SN7GTB Chrome Dome tubes as gift, which are giving...

Yes thats the one, well I am being "polite" with that cable, it does get harder having more memory over time unfortunately. Mine is still good and sound of Cascade with it is top notch, especially using THX amp (M17).

I have Silver Litz, which I got as a deal with Cascade, awesome, tight sound, impactfull, highs not sharp not even on M17.

Yeah I heard ESS is little clinical, Cirrus Logic has nice booty bass, still very clean but no sharpness even with HD800S. I am planning to get one S17 Pro Class A to have additional flavour.

I got one all BA set also for first time and I'm extremely happy, its Dunu SA6 MK2. This set should be tier higher, if tuning alright, no spikes in upper mids or sibilance, I believe might be a kilobuck killer, same as M17 best dap for a price.

Same is valid for X26 top tier delta sigma. I might jump once on same train.

Didn't hear Mega5 EST 7TH.. but Dunu Sa6MK2 is special iem, I am a headphone guy using HD800S, DT1990 Pro, LCD2 2021 and this iem really gives it all, big stage, great details and bass impact amazed that 6BA only can do that. Not sure for FA19 but with 1000 is in a game with Thieaudio Monarch MK3..

Gustard R26 is by all reviews top tier DAC and can not go wrong modded or not. I bet you will be very happy.

Yeah, have the same combo and it really sounds good.

Arent you scared buying such expensive DAC modded? Warranty?

Topping, EF 400 is warm neutral.

Yeah A70 Pro is a nice amp, has very nice dynamic range and slam, power wise everything is driven like it should .

I got Dunu SA6 MK2 and what a pair with M17. Never thought iem can have such stage, details and warmness with proper punch being BA only. Didn't wanna go Top route as I heard it has slower bass and classic Harman tuning while Dunu has gone in different direction.

@FiiO Thanks, will take a look tomorrow on my listening session.

Mine M17 has somehow laggy touch display, its non-responsive I have to hold my finger long enough to accept touch otherwise feels like its frozen. Anyone with same issue?

EF 400 is made for Hifiman planars, giving them better low end impact and mids. It has high current which planars like.

I heard this year android 12 is coming to M17 and M27 should be released at the end of the year.

I know I cant be wrong with either but want to make a best call.

Now in dillema between Tops and SA6MK2. Both are great, wondering which is better in stage, details, midrange weight. Music wise psychodelic metal, grunge.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08WCKWT2S?starsLeft=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_Q1Q0BPACDZZZCYVX7VS1 Thats what I got, top notch.

Yeah I am going 99% for Top, just reading bit about SA6 MKII and Yanyin HBB Mahina. So many iems nowadays on market.

Yeah, I like more FR of Tops but still reviews will say more.

Thanks for that, Jay spoke highly of Hype 4 but only 60eur difference to the Tops. Even bass might be tighter in Hype's, Xenns should have better separation/details with higher driver count. I noticed yesterday lots of people are very happy with Penon 10th, W sound in a way but well executet...

Hi all, I am thinking of jumping to Xenns Tops but also eyeing Performer 8, Variations, Hype 4 /10. From my understanding Tops have good timbre, well done bass and good highs without being fatiguing which ticks all boxes. Variations good at subbase and stage, but tinny mids hot upper mids so...

What did you buy? I am also in similar situation RN.
