    Benchmark DAC3 HGC vs RME ADI-2 FS for desktop DAC/headphone amp?

    I'm using similar class equipment to drive my headphones. My suggestion is wait for the coming Holo May DAC WITH a headphone amplifier (mentioned by YT channel Golden Sound).

    Parametric EQ settings for Susvara

    This is a hard one. Try the Audeze 5 and the Susvara before you buy, but for many this is not easy, if not impossible... Maybe you can sell yours first, if you want something different, but if you are fine with the LCD4s. The answer is maybe no. You MUST know why you are upgrading, otherwise you...

    a 2nd SP400 as Preamp to power the SUSVARA

    I went straight to a speaker power amp. No regret, but it's so good. Maybe I will look into a R2R DAC :)

    a 2nd SP400 as Preamp to power the SUSVARA

    Yes, I know that talk. So I didn't bought an amp, coz I thought an AAA789 with 6watt should do, but having sound doesn't mean the sound has quality. After 8 weeks switching between my RME ADI2 dac and AAA789. I know it's a waste. So I upgraded my amp.

    Parametric EQ settings for Susvara

    One of the most anticipated headphone review is the Hifiman Susvara. Does it live up to the legend status technically? It was too bad that I couldn't wait and bought one before a future review here. Do anybody have some Roon player parametric EQ settings for the Susvara in style of Amir?

    a 2nd SP400 as Preamp to power the SUSVARA

    I assume you already own the SP400 before buying the Susvara, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Susvara is really really power hungry. There were sound coming out from my RME ADI-2 DAC fs and AAA789, but you can tell it's not going well. There is no depth, "power" or soundstage. It's just dead...

    Sennheiser HDV-820 USB DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    Are you talking about the Blue Hawaii Special Edition? I own a Stax L700 + SR353x, which is my best sounding combo in house at this moment, but I like the Stax so much that I want to upgrade to 009s with a BHSE. I had only limited experience with 009s and never experienced the BHSE in real. Do...

    Review and Measurements of Monoprice THX Desktop DAC & Amp

    Is the noise at this level audible with a very detailed headphone? Like a planar or better asked what kind level of headphone do you need before you start to hear any difference?
