    Sony TA-ZH1ES: A DAC/Headphone Amp with a Sonic Signature?

    I use a Hifiman HE1000se with it. I had a moment the other day where the combination sounded incredible, on Alex G's song Southern Skies. Just a moment where you get the shivers. Usually doesn't happen to me on this amp. I don't have any issues using this headphone with this Amp btw. use it on...

    Sony TA-ZH1ES: A DAC/Headphone Amp with a Sonic Signature?

    Thanks for this review ! It's interesting. I'm glad there were some positive things to say from purely scientific viewpoint. I've always felt this one was underappreciated.

    Sony TA-ZH1ES: A DAC/Headphone Amp with a Sonic Signature?

    Well, I had an old LCD2 that was probably the hardest to drive. I was still able to get it to good levels with the volume and high gain, naturally. But it's driven Grado RS1, HD600, HD800, HE1000se, Arya Stealth, Empyrean and other modern, more efficient dynamics and planars I've had with it...

    SMSL H300 headamp - no reviews?

    Well... didn't SMSL and Topping release a unit with almost exactly the same internals ? I don't know the models but some guy showed almost identical menus between 2 products. Maybe it was just they used the same chip tho, so same features. I always get the impression these are just made in...

    At least this Chi-Fi piece HAS a volume wheel lol, unlike say the Topping D70. Boy some of these things are focused too much on significant digits being zeros and not on ergonomics...
