Hi, is this the Rev 1 or Rev 2?

Confirmation from Dima (about 70 ohms): https://www.head-fi.org/threads/tor-audio-headphone-amps.872349/page-14#post-17925944

Can you talk a little more about that? I’ve been using various DS DACs to date for desktop use, and until recently had convinced myself I couldn’t tell any of them apart. Then I tried a Cayin RU6 and found that I personally prefer it immensely to my THX Onyx and Apple DAC dongles for some IEMs...

Now we have to know: what speakers? :smile_phones:

Monarch Mk3, disco edition.

Great buyer, easy transaction!

If you’re looking for more bass, definitely go with the S2.

My ears hear it (and my brain interprets it) as the Ragnarok having a better “grip” on my speakers than other class-D amps I’ve used somehow (which is not the same thing as the system being overly damped, which tends to diminish musicality). P.S. That is a good-looking vinyl collection!

This album goes to 11.

I'm afraid I can't comment on the direct comparison, since I have the bass ported vegan pads but my leather pads (I have the V2 fenestrated, not the V3 pads) are not ported. That said, without the bass port I'm not sure the vegan pads would change overall bass quantity that much, but they...

I never personally found Diana’s to be “harsh” (I have the V2, not MR), but I would say the vegan pads just sort of smooth everything out ever-so-slightly. The bass loses a tiny bit of incisiveness and the treble is slightly less resolving, but I don’t mind the comfort trade off, to the point...

Step up only in terms of comfort; if I didn’t wear glasses I would have stuck with the original fenestrated V2 pads.

Those floating SSDs demand an explanation... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Are these customizable? I love the blue in this unit compared to the black shown on the ZMF website and would love one with this color scheme!

120-ohm output impedance =:thumbsup::clap:🤤 And to think I had cured myself of Gear Acquisition Syndrome...

…or what the best musical accompaniment or beverage choices are during and after yard work (or in my case yesterday, power washing…saves money doing it yourself, but definitely not time!)

Came here to say Rag 2 (especially now that it’s on sale) but you beat me to it. 🤣

I unfortunately lost track of which other thread I found this in today, but after listening to this I finally "get" modern audio compression. What an exquisite breath of fresh air, although this edition is going to ruin most other recordings for me now! If there's not already a thread for high...

Ah so the Monarchs were ransom, I see! 🤣

No worries! I really should be saving up for a new pair of speakers anyway… 😅

PM incoming

You are grandfather of the year, this is an amazing gift!

I’m actually thinking of ordering a second as backup, just in case mine ever needs to be sent in for repairs (yes, it is that good)! 😅 (I got that idea from someone over in the Ragnarok thread) Edit: …or a Freya and some Vidars? What says the brain trust?

I absolutely love my V2s and will never sell them! I have been eyeing the Eikons though now that they are back in production. How would you compare these two?
