KingSound KS-H3?
Thanks for the reply. The stax have a voltage of 580 and Kingsound 550, as far as I'm aware they are both pro bias (5pin). SO in theory they should work, I'm still unsure if I should pull the plug though, in the fear of breaking either the SRM 252 of Kingsound H3. Im getting the H3's second for...- Krisna13

Elemental Watson Class-A Valve/Mosfet Hybrid Headphone Amplifier (Review added)
Hi Andrew, my apologies for such a late reply. I'm comparing the Watson to the iFi iCAN SE. From my experience the Watson is the 'fun' amp out of the two. The iCAN SE is very linear, neutral and I would say presents the music with very little to no colouration from source. Not quite analytical...- Krisna13

Elemental Watson Class-A Valve/Mosfet Hybrid Headphone Amplifier (Review added)
The Elears make an excellent pairing with the Watson. Listening to the Elears on anything else in my arsenal is almost pointless. Not that the Elears need more bass, but my goodness, the Watson adds such depth and texture to the bass. Mids are much more musical and lush as well. Detail retrieval...- Krisna13

Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot
This also sometimes happen to me. I leave it off and fully charged to find the next morning the battery has drained...The only thing I can think it might be is that I didn't turn it off 'properly' or somehow it turned it self on again and just played music all night, therefore draining the...- Krisna13

I have the same album but in DSD 128. Sometimes I get the hiccups and skips like you mentioned previously but its not track or file specific (I think). It's a bit annoying but I can live with it. I have many other 24/192 files on the X5 and they play fine. Honestly I'm unsure what the issue...- Krisna13

Excellent review @RamenwithBroth. Concise and too the point. Do you mind sharing a picture of the pad mod you did? I don't quite understand what you mean, especially the bit about the straw. Thank you.- Krisna13

Completely agree with the comparison of the iDSD BL and Fiio X5iii @Dsnuts. Going back and forth between the two numerous times, it was difficult pin pointing major differences. However, overall I would say that the iDSD BL is more refined, mature, think of it as a big bad brother. Ever slight...- Krisna13
