Try listening for one week without the display. For the second week, listen with the display. With prolonged listening, it is easier to identify differences in sound.- DMITRIY R

Holo Audio Bliss
I discovered this effect by accident. I turned off the display because I wanted to extend its service life. But I was immediately surprised that Bliss played better without the display. p.s. Holo May also plays better with the display turned off.- DMITRIY R

Holo Audio Bliss
You can't go wrong with any of these amps. I've had Bliss for almost a year, Vio for more than 3 years. I like both amps. They play differently, but they both play well. Main differences: - Bliss has a slight rounding of high frequencies. Those. Listening to bright headphones does not cause...- DMITRIY R

Violectric HPA V550 - Blue's Brother and the successor to the V281
You don't have to worry about this. Vio 550 is even better than Soloist GT. Vio has good synergy with DCA headphones. Vio 550 is a fairly new device. It is unlikely that we will be able to see a successor in the near future. But if you want even more performance, then you should look at Niimbus...- DMITRIY R

It seems to me that it would be correct to completely remove the VU meters in the V322. This will reduce its cost, leaving the most necessary functions in the device. Those who want to get the maximum configuration, buy V324.- DMITRIY R

Headphones to compliment Abyss 1266
My solution was quite simple. I chose DCA Stealth. Stealth performs excellently with Niimbus.- DMITRIY R

Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)
What is the outgoing resistance at the amplifier terminals? What damping factor is obtained when connected to 1266 terminals? Could the sound characteristics of the 1266 connected to the terminals be related to the damping factor alone?- DMITRIY R

Niimbus Ultimate Series US4/US4+/US5/US5 Pro Headphone Amps - by Lake People
Yes! That sounds impressive. I've listened to other DACs as well. I decided to stick with Holo May for now (already 2 years in my system). Below is a quote from the manual. I noted in bold what is the advantage of this setting. But, the manual does not say that this way the best sound quality...- DMITRIY R

Niimbus Ultimate Series US4/US4+/US5/US5 Pro Headphone Amps - by Lake People
I'm sorry. It seemed to me that you have a Cayin CS-100DAC. I made a mistake. My experience says that the greater the voltage supplied to the amplifier allows you to set less gain on it. Ideally, you need to apply such a voltage to the amplifier that the gain is set to “0” and the volume...- DMITRIY R

Niimbus Ultimate Series US4/US4+/US5/US5 Pro Headphone Amps - by Lake People
Cayin HA300b allows 1266 to better sound sub-bass and additionally gives emphasis to mid-frequencies and reduces the brightness of high frequencies. At the same time, Niimbus makes 1266 sound with amazing accuracy and speed, that's a fact. I listen to 1266 with Niimbus more often.- DMITRIY R

Niimbus Ultimate Series US4/US4+/US5/US5 Pro Headphone Amps - by Lake People
Niimbus produces the best sound when a comfortable volume level is achieved with the volume control position close to the maximum. Try setting the gain to +6 instead of +12. This should leave you with enough room to adjust the volume. I see your DAC has separate outputs when running in preamp...- DMITRIY R
