What I'm doing now is using my iPad mini or macbook air and feeding USB into a matrix SPDIF3 then optical from the SPDIF3 into the TT2 and I love it. I could be way happy with that for a long long long time. Like you said, my focus has been on the actual headphone and I've got my ideal...

Good to know. Thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind. I'm not going to be using the dac section of the streamer or the preamp section of the streamer so paying close to $2000USD I'm paying for a lot of stuff I wouldn't be using. But if in the future I need a combo stereamer, dac, and preamp...

This is what I was thunking. I have a wiim pro with a custom made power supply and it’s very good and sounds nice. I have a blue sound node and the same. But high end gear like TT2 is good enough to show the differences so why not save up for a nicer streamer. That’s probly what I’ll do...

Has anyone used any of the highly regraded budget streamers on the TT2 like the WIIM Pro and Bluesound node with the TT2? From a non-measurement fully objective perspective have you heard much of a difference between them and a high end streamer? What I usually do is connect my iPad mini to the...

If you like the Audio GD R2R sound, I would recommend the R27RE or R27HE. I have the R27RE as well as the R28NOS, both are in different rooms. To me the R27RE is an upgrade for sure. The upsampling modes are noticeable which I like. It's larger though. Size wise it's larger. The R27HE is huge...

I have the JM XTC 2 with the Biowool drivers. I want to get a pair to perfectly compliment them and I was thinking about the XTC 2 tuned warm and detailed. I like having a collection of different companies headphones but I love the XTC 2 with the biowool so so so much that to me the only option...

I use the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth and it's amazing amazing amazing on the TT2 and it's about 485g according to the hifiman site

I would imagine something with some warm clear detail would be great. I have the deep thick detailed sounding biowool drivers and R2R amp and dacs are spectacular in making them sound even more deep thick and detailed. I'm a big fan of NOT balancing out the sound of my headphones with components...

I which driver do you have? The biowool responds to sources totally different than the beryllium does. And which sound signature did you both get. I’ve found that it’s really fun to use dacs and amps to compliment or enhance the sound signature of my headphones.

I never asked for help nor did I ask for an opinion. You remind me that I am grateful for the ignore button.

This is easy. I’m in conversation with a few people on Audiogon right now in selling this R28NOS. It’ll be gone by Monday. I’ve been at this game for a long while. I’m very familiar with what you’re mentioning. I’ve got a great system.

What is your deal? I am interested in neither your know it all unsolicited advice nor your snark. Selling a $1399 product for $1000 is not a new price. That’s what most people call discounted and a used price. There’s another used model just like mine just with a box on Audiogon for $1200. If...

If you are interested, as the listing states, I am accepting offers so you're welcome to approach your ideal lowered price there. Besides that I don't remember asking for selling advice.

No. It is selling alone. Try reading the listing.
