Maverick Audio DAC/Amp
Ok, question: Earlier this year, May actually, I bought myself a new 2.0 stereo system. Cambridge Audio Azur 540a V1 PSB Alpha T1's and of course I have my Maverick :3 However, this setup is a little bit too bright. I like a brighter system, but this is a tad bit more...- GPollos

Maverick D1 outputs, headphones only?
Sorry :3 The Mav won't shut off the speakers when you plug in headphones. You'll have to turn off your speakers. I'm glad my amp has a remote, makes things much easier. However, that LED on the Mav is really bright, so I end up getting up and turning it all off by hand anyways.- GPollos

If you mean what University I'm attending, you might be disappointed. However, where I'm going to school is not the subject of this thread!- GPollos

Ok, dumb question for sure however.. I popped my mav open to have a look inside, and I found a second serial number label loose inside. I noticed Spanky has one affixed to the back right corner of the inside of his. Would you happen to have one on the bottom of the exterior as well? I'm...- GPollos

Never the less, I still love my Mav. My first foray into the unknown mid-fi audio world, and it was a good one. XS clone or not.- GPollos

Although I know reading back through 88 pages of content may be a pain in the ass, I think this issues has been covered before. The mav used to be a XS clone back when it was the "Maverick TubeMagic", not the D1 line ("Maverick TubeMagic D1") as far as I know. It may be using the XS power...- GPollos

That would be correct! You can hook your powered speakers directly to the TubeMagic to either the tube pre-out (tube flavour) or "normal" (solid state). If you have non-powered speakers, you will have to connect the TubeMagic to an amp first as the TubeMagic only has pre-amp capabilities...- GPollos

Ok, although I've seen this question posed before: What are the most common websites to order opamps from for rolling? Preferably ones that offer free samples. I want to roll a few if I can get them for free, being a cheap college student and all. I'm enjoying the D1 alot though. I'm...- GPollos

Great news all! My mav arrived this morning! $12 in customs fees, but whatever. Unboxed it (and took pics, will add later). Ran about 10 mins of pink noise through it after I let it warm up before playing some tunes. First impression: I'm not very good at critical listening, but I...- GPollos

That may be true, but the Maverick has since evolved into it's own product as far as I can tell.- GPollos

I have a silly interoperability question: I am considering (upon Mysteek's recommendation) to purchase a pair of AT A700s. However, I also have my PC speakers, Swan M10's. In addition to driving the A700's, would there be any foreseeable issues with hooking up the Swans to either the tube...- GPollos
