Audial S5b is 2350€, with shipping and customs it should be around 2600. According to a guy on SBAF, who bought an S5 before the "b" upgrades, it bests the Yggi LiM: "Hi Taguro, Unfortunately I've never heard the Holo May, so I can't say how the Audial S5 may differ. I've been listening to the...

Got one incoming too, anyone else has/heard/bought one?

What you guys recon the power output looks like at 13 Ohm for my Aeon Open for example? It drives it great, just curious tho.

Have you tried it or are you just talking out of the wrong orrifice again?

I think we found someone who has never heard a Sennheiser modded by JAR, modded himself or heard them scale with a totl system... lol Edit: Hearing a well modded Sennheiser puts the whole bloated headphone market in quite an ugly perspective rather quickly...

Anyone using (tried) it as preamp and how "appropriate" is the performance for the price? Wanna use it as stop-gap till my big tube pre is finished for my XA25, I know, I know... :S Edit: BECAUSE I CAN hehe

Then it is the Bifrost 2/64 or the Soekris 2541 which is exatly 25cm wide. Edit: But if you find the space, trust me (bro), get the Yggi GS2.

V281 will be amazing with a Gungnir A2 and even better with an Yggi GS, some of the best synergies I have heard so far. Crazy deal right now: https://www.schiit.com/products/yggdrasil-gs2

Would have never guessed how perfectly right I would be! xD

Should be south of, or at 500g tho.

Hey, will be weighing it on my kitchen-scale when I get home to get an approximate number.

I would strongly suggest to mod your 6XX too - there are many variations but the best seems to be the KiSS-mod they compiled at SBAF: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/hd650-kiss-mod.3440/ I did it myself (with a few modifications) and it plays WAY above it's asking price...

Just listening to my modded 6XX on a Lyr+/MM2 combo and enjoying it immensely (finally an amp that can tame the MM2's highs), hoping that the Vali 3 will come at least somewhat close. :) Mine should be here till the end of the week...

Rather mod your 6XX, you will get more out of it, easily.

Which "old" one? Vali 2, Vali 2+ or Vali 2++?

Get a Violectric V222/226, V340, 550 or a strong TC tube amp.

Lucky you...
