    The End-Game Solid State Amplifier Master List

    The Headamp GSX Mini should be on this list, especially since it sounds better than the GSX-MK2, which is on this list.

    I would love to hear more about the reason for this. You very enthusiastically recommended their products in the past.

    The Utsusemi-Works Thread (Sound Dragon, Sound Tiger)

    @Nostoi Thank you for starting this thread and keeping it going. These amps look really interesting and they seem like an exceptional value. Do you still think that they sound best when double-amping from a headphone out from a DAP or dongle DAC? Or do you prefer a variable line out?

    IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator

    I've also been looking at the Luxury and Precision W4. That unit is said to have a headphone out clean enough to beat many dedicated line-outs on some high end DAP's. I'm curious how the DCElite and W4 compare purely as DAC's feeding other amps. The W4 has the benefit of having more output power.

    IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator

    How do people here feel about running the DC-Elite to a balanced external amp? Is the output clean enough for it to compete with a dedicated line out? I’ve heard that you don’t really need to worry about double amping if the headphone output is clean enough. I’ve been looking at these unique...

    IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator

    Have you tried a two pole 3.5mm plug? In this review, you can see the cable he used for coax out and it looks like it only has one black ring. It's possible that a properly wired 4 pole 3.5mm and a two pole 3.5mm both work equally well. https://twister6.com/2023/12/21/ibasso-dc-elite/2/

    On page 13, IBasso showed the proper plug you need to run coaxial. Moon Audio can make you a custom coaxial cable that will work. Just send them that picture. It should be a standard 4pole 3.5mm plug.

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    I see that you own a Chord Mojo 2 as well. Have you ever compared the Mojo 2 to the Bifrost 2/64 as a dedicated DAC feeding an external headphone amp? I'm sure the Bifrost 2/64 is a little better but I'm curious how close the Mojo 2 gets? The thing holding me back on the 2/64 are reports that...

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    Is there any way to control left/right channel balance on the R6 III? If so, is it system-wide so it will work with the Qobuz app?
