    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    I went ahead and bought a mimby and this will be my first solo Dac as I've mainly used daps and the USB dac function of the dap. I'm looking forward to hearing it with my Elear. I'm looking at a few amps to go with the mimby but for now my S.M.S.L. sAp III will do.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I'm getting the Schiit Vali 2 as my amp but I can't decide between the Modi 2 Uber or Multibit to use with my Elear. I just don't know if the Multibit is worth it for me because I think the Uber only sounds slightly less resolving. Price comes into play also as its the holidays and every little...

    The Fiio A5 thread: an upgrade of E12A, MUSES02+LME49600, 800mW, 19Vp-p, 12 hours

    I've had my A5 for about 7 hours now and its a very good portable hp amp at its price point. I've hooked it up to my X5II and used my Elear and I think they sound as good or better than when I use the K5 dock amp. There's also plenty of power to push my HE-400i with ease. A nice and black...

    Nobsound NS-08E also know as Nobsound 6J9 hybrid tube amp

    They should be fine. Lets us know how it sounds with the 400s. I thought this little amp sounded better with my dynamic headphones more than with my HE-400i. Even though I don't use this amp anymore I hooked up my Focal Elear and it didn't sound half bad.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I know I've found my end game headphone. I'm selling my other headphones except for my Nighthawk because I still like them a lot and they're perfect for when I'm in the mood for bass. As far as burn in goes I've had about 25 hours or more on mine and I hear no difference. I was never a believe...

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    I'm going to go ahead and get a Modi Multibit now and a new amp later. Sounds like the X5II and the M2M go together pretty good. Just using my X5II and S.M.S.L. sAp III amp my Elear sounds really good so I can't wait to hear it using the Multibit.

    FiiO X5 2nd gen Impressions and Discussion thread

    I should have the Fiio A5 early next week so I'm looking forward to seeing how much better it will be vs the onboard amp as it has twice the power output. I think the A5 has almost as much power as my S.M.S.L. sAp III desktop amp. I love the signature of the X5II so I hope with the A5 my Elear...

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    How do you like the Vali 2 & Modi Multibit setup? That's what I'm thinking of getting to use with my Elear and Nighthawk.

    The Fiio A5 thread: an upgrade of E12A, MUSES02+LME49600, 800mW, 19Vp-p, 12 hours

    I've been without a portable amp for about a year after giving it to my niece so I ordered the A5 today. I had a chance to use my buddies E12 and was wondering if the A5 sounds as good or better seeing as its just an upgrade E12. After reading through the thread I didn't see anyone saying they...

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    I think I'd rather get the Modi Multibit with some other amp besides the Magni. I was also looking at the Vali 2. I don't want to spend more than around $500 all together. I also thought about the Supreme Sound Lycan, I like the fact you can opamp roll.

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    I'm trying to decide between the Modi 2 Multibit/Magni 2 Uber and the Jotunheim. I was wondering if the Modi Multibit would be as good or even better than the balanced Jotunheim with dac? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Since I mainly listen to electronic music I need good bass and sub-bass so the Utopia pads wouldn't work for me. Also the more I just listen to the Elear the less closed in it sounds. The soundstage width sounds fine to me now, granted its not wide but it doesn't sound as closed as it did when...

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Comparing my HD700 to the Elear they sound thin and I never really thought that before. They have similar sound signatures to me but the Elear sound much fuller and true to the music. Besides the LCD-2 I'm going to compare the Elear with one other hp I was thinking of getting was the Edition...
