If you say so 😂 For the other 99.9999999999% of us, what I said is correct.

Naim ND555 > BluMKII > Dave > Viva 845 > Atrium Closed. Lovely if you are a fan of trance and like to turn it up.

In my experience, Naim anything as a source pairs wonderfully with Chord DACs, especially if you have a tube amp.

In my personal experience, there are two facts. One, that it's all about your ears and what you like to hear. If to you, a $500 dac sounds better than a $10,000 one, more power to you. We are all here to enjoy the hobby, not accuse others of what they can and cannot hear. Enjoy it and buy what...

Can't wait to hear it!

Due to the high/similar price, I would love to compare this to the Viva 845 headphone amp. To my ears, it is the best I have heard to date.

Aegis vs Decware?

There is nothing like a ZMF headphone. Congrats and enjoy!

Can't you just buy a voltage converter? They are not expensive.

I'm curious how you are defining better for the headphone amp? As in more power? Larger physical size? Price? Some DAPs cost more than the Naim Uniti.

That is why I was telling him to combine the two. Naim and Chord pair beautifully together.

@zach915m This amp or the ZMF decware for Atrium Closed?

This is one of those explanations I'd rather watch a YouTube video of 😂

I've only been playing destiny 2 lately. I finally got past Onslaught level 50 on legend and got the emblem. I seriously think I devote too much time to this game. It's so easy to play though.

Pulp fiction. 10/10.

I don't have experience with all the gear you mentioned, but I did have a Atom HE for a while. It's a great all in one, and it would be a challenge to find an AIO that would be better for the price point. Chord DACs just sound right to me when paired with Naim. The latter have the bass and...

I have quite a few ZMF products, and I can say their support and respect for audio is first class. He is a fan of audio and it shows. It's so refreshing to see someone so in tune with making gear. Add to that their headphones are works of art. And in my personal opinion, I prefer my Atrium...

Zach and crew are on it lately. Just killing the audio game. I've never seen someone so driven to make great audio gear. I wonder how much music he listens to. Also Bevin. They are both equally passionate about their craft.

As long as you have a quiet generator for the tube amp.

What are you looking to gain moving to an all in one? Edit: I have quite a bit of experience with Naim and Chord, at all price points up to full 500 series stack and Dave, etc. It's my opinion that Chord makes a great dac, and Naim makes a great streamer. If I was you, I'd use your Hugo as...

If I was you, I'd just use your phone and a set of used Sony WH-1000XM5. For daily chores, music, and podcasts, I've yet to find a better set. A cheap dap probably isn't going to give you want you want, which sounds like great sound with convenience.

Budget? Headphones you will be using?

I think the WA33 is a very clean sounding tube amp. It gives a hint of tube sound, with a lot of power, but I don't find it colors the sound much. It's a very clinical sound to my ears. Could just be the tubes I am running as I switched all the stock ones. The Viva by comparison, is more tubey...
