Just want to add Wei didn't even look for a warranty he just wanted to get it repaired. That is good customer service!

I just got mine TA-10 3 or 4 days ago, so far so good.

I test drove a Schiit Vali a year or so ago and was not impressed with it at all. I've been using mostly Schiit solid state amps with Peachtree Audio Sabre and Schiit Modi Multibit dacs to drive my various mid-fi cans. This new all in one tube hybrid combo brings out an entirely new perspective of my favorite recordings.

First thing, this unit has already brought my M1060 planars to the best I've heard from them!

The only negative I have to this point is the volume knob must be turned what seems like several revolutions to reach normal listening levels. From about 55 or 60 the volume seems to increase much more rapidly.

Since receiving I've had very little time to spend with the TA-10, but I did take time to order a couple of different tubes to experiment with.

I hope have more later.

Anyone using this with LCD-2? If so, what tube(s) do you recommend?

 

[Gene4797]

Anyone tried this amp with Quad Era1?

Anyone tried this amp with Quad Era1?

Haven't but have tried many planars and they sound excellent on it.

Anybody know what the output impedence of the updated model, TA-10R is?

https://apos.audio/products/xduoo-ta-10r-tube-dac-amp

The TA-10 is 5.8 ohms I think.

 

[omegaorgun]

Anybody interested in a TA-10 with 16 tubes, mostly nos and solid state tube?

 

[jmwant]

Ta-10R, The succesor to the Ta-10 is released.

Are people liking the TA-10R so far? Interested to pick it up, but there is no place I can listen to them before I buy in my country.

I would be interested as well. From the review link @jmwant posted above little has changed from the original TA-10 that I own, and would not hesitate in buying again. The AK4490 is excellent and the newer AK4493 in the TA-10R should be as well. I many times use the DAC with other amps. Only downside or maybe an upside is that the DAC/Amp is not truly balanced, the XLR is just there as a convenience, and provides the same power and sound as the SE connection which has always been fine for me.

Not sure how useful at this point, but I'll chime in with some of my impressions. The TA-10R is my first tube (hybrid or otherwise) amp and I'm really liking the sound. In fact, I'm probably going to get rid of the Topping A/D30pro that I was intending to use at the office. I've used the TA-10R with both Audeze LCD-XC and ZMF Eikon and it handles them well. I will say that what impacted the sound most was swapping the stock tube for a Mullard. Soundstage got wider, and resolution increased noticeably.

 

[860lacov]

Could You recommend tube for ta-10r?

I was told that good choice could be
Psvane treasure mark II
or
Mullard 12au7 tube

I have lcd2c so I'm sure that I don't need more bass. More treble is ok

 

[kandr]

The one I'm using is the Mullard 12au7. I'm happy with it but haven't checked out anything else so take this with a grain of salt. When comparing with the stock tube, the things that improved were the soundstage and instrument separation. This might have been posted before in the thread, but could be useful https://audiofool.reviews/tube-rolling-the-xduoo-ta-01b-ta-10-and-ta-20-12au7-amps/

 

[Dutch1Schaefer]

I’m very curious about this amp, for the price seems very good considering what your getting. The best hifi 2 chan setup I ever heard had a tube pre amp and solid state power amp, mind you it was Macintosh gear lol.

Hi guys,
Do you know if it supports ASIO? if yes, do I need a driver? Can you link it please? Or any other way to use ASIO with this DAC & foobar?
