FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.
Thanks for review but, haha, this remote control is ugliest thing I have seen in audio :D Anyway. I am owner of Fluxlab FA-12 (balanced version). If I remember right you also had it on your table. How would you compare it to the Mentor?- donpablo

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
@LXMc Thank you for that. Especially for bass, since when I was comparing Auteur Classic with my currently beloved Quad-Era-1, I noticed that Auteur had significant quieter lower bass regions. Overally they sounded so pleasing that I could forgive that, but still.. ;)- donpablo

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
Im asking because ZMF Auteur are darn expensive for me. In my country distributors sell Auteur Classic (this I auditioned) for $2285, in ZMF shop its about $1500. They already announced that ZMF Bokeh will cost about $1500 (on ZMF USA store its about $900). Its all because of taxes from USA to...- donpablo

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
How is soundstage of Bokeh compared to Auteur/Auteur-Classic? Is it a huge difference or rather minor? I know Bokeh is closed back, but many writing here that they have decent soundstage so Im curious cause had opportunity to listen Auteur Classic and loved their spaciousness.- donpablo

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
Hello I have a question. Like 2 months ago I was in my fav local store to try my first ZMF ever, and it was Auteur Classic, I liked in so much from some SS amp (I dont remember which one) that I came back few days later with my ifi iTube2 to get a sneak-peak of how they can sound on my OTL in...- donpablo

Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp
@OneEyedHito What I have in mind is: CA1000 lineout -> ifi iTube2 input and then ifi iTube2 output -> CA1000 amp input. So taking internal DAC output of CA1000, this signal goes to tube buffer (ifi iTube) and then its sending back to CA1000 amp section. ifi Itube2 is a tube preamp/buffer so it...- donpablo

Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp
Thank you all for reply to my question. Anyway it wasnt exactly spot on but maybe I havent fully explained what I was asking about. I currently have desktop setup: SMSL M400 + FluxLab FA12 and prefer it fully balanced both. What I meant is a question if ACRO CA1000 is so good that can compete...- donpablo

Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp
Has anyone experience with replacing his desktop dac + amp with Acro CA1000? Is it that good? And if so what DAC + AMP it was? I have heard CA1000 few times during last 2 weeks in my local audio stroe with Hifiman HE1000 v2 Stealth (amazing hps) and my own set of cans like Quad Era-1, Aeon 2C...- donpablo

The Stax Thread III
My other headphones are Aeon 2C and Quad Era-1 which have excellent extended bass, A2C has its even bumped a bit. Maybe that's the case. Anyway after I plugged my own DAC (SMSL M400) to D10 and using only AMP section from Stax D10, then everything sounds better, more powerful, with better bass...- donpablo

The Stax Thread III
I have borrowed Stax L700mk2 + SRM D10, and ... I am not amazed, lacking of low bass, lacking of midrange juice, only holography and separation is outstanding, but overal I expected more, comparing to rest of my headphones setups.- donpablo
