No quality changes, just the usual dip in power, but honestly, nothing to be concerned about, IMO. I have a bunch of efficient headphones, and the best I could test with was my HD800S, and it had plenty of power.

I agree with Veri here, man. FWIW, the Magni 3 is fine. Even then, the Gustard H16 is not what you are looking for. It's almost as transparent as (if not equal to) the THX 789. I had both and returned the H16.

Looks like their website is showing discounted prices across the board.

I got mine today. So far I like it a lot, replaces my THX 789. More testing is needed, of course. The only issue so far is that the remote doesn't seem to work, which is a major bummer. Tried many battery sets already, no dice. Am I doing something wrong? Thought it was just having to put the...

What is that, exactly?

Didn't it come in a Dan Clark or Mr. Speakers case? The Open I got a few months ago came pretty well packaged. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, btw :(

Damn dude, that’s quite the amp setup.

Gahh now I'm debating this or the A90 as an upgrade to the THX 789. Or maybe not buying anything. Damn hobby.
