More on the Fathom vs Moon Rover from Audiophile-Heaven (I forgot his nickname here 🤦‍♂️).

Sony DAPs (NW-ZX707 and up). If you’re using them balanced, try single-ended.

Thanks :relaxed: Before June 4th? That'd be nice :sweat_smile:

Works for me, thanks!

@CFA Chris @Caleb Rosenau @KB The Moon Rover seems like a very interesting set — not only visually-speaking. It seems very reminiscent of the Ara, both in terms of form and function… Care to elaborate a bit :wink: ? Oh yeah, and that :p

Prompt payment, clear communication, easy to deal with — highly recommended!

My pet peeve with its predecessor was how quickly fatiguing it became. Admittedly, it's an issue I also had with the PAW6K which shared the same DAC (AK4493) and loath. I eventually had to concede that AKM's tuning wasn't for me. Sony all the way from now on — happier than ever ;)

Sony WM1ZM2 ╳ Nightjar Acoustics Singularity Best pairing I've heard in 10 years of hobby Absolutely insane :sunglasses:

Very useful, thanks a lot!!!

Nitsch Pietus Maximus with MultiBit DAC ordered -- 'will report back once I received it. Thanks again @Hyde00 for your advice and time!

That's very nice, thank you so much! Your message means a lot 😊

Uncapped WM1ZM2 received — love it — more, and write-up, on it later. Edit: btw, the WM1ZM2 has a stunning synergy with the Nightjar Acoustics Singularity… a match made in heaven both visually and sonically.

Thanks for getting back!

I'm thinking of getting the Tube mini with the power base but I just realised I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The power base and Tube mini would be 7-10 inches from the keyboard/mouse/laptop… Quick question for Tube mini owners: do you experience any interferences around a laptop...

Price dropped to USD$699.

Indeed, not what I expected either. @tylerindianapolis Just to make sure I understand correctly, your above impressions are with the Hifiman Ayra Organic and Sennheiser HD660S2, plugged in the Schiit Midgard, using the EF499 as the DAC connected to your source? Or was it straight from the EF499?

Amazing write-up, thank you!

Thanks!

Found this… Grado headphones like the Hemp felt massive, with expanded imaging and extra body. Source: https://audio46.com/blogs/headphones/woo-audio-tube-mini-review

Hi Chris, Any chance you got to A/B the Black Star and Fathom? I’m still in-between them 😊 Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Giving it another shot… anyone?
