I obviously won't be interested in the below model, since I don't want to downgrade. I'd rather buy a used ADX5000 instead, in my country currently see a very nice used one for HUF 450000. The above model I guess will be very pricey, and not that much better, but much more expensive. So it...

Has anyone tried the new Burson V7-s with this amp?

I meant that just place a big old cpu cooler on top of the amp, it helps to dissipate the heat, so the amp won't overheat.

Interestingly, after I changed the Burson v5i-s to v6 vivids, I was expecting that it would run even hotter, I was thinking maybe I shouldn't put back the lid. But the opposite happened, now it doesn't get that warm, only lukewarm at most to the touch. I guess this is because the V6-s have...

Who would refuse such a gift? Maybe your nephew was just humble, and didn't want to accept such an expensive gift from you. Maybe it was not paired well with his amp+dac, so it was a disappointment. If not paired well, you might not like it. Many people say it's a bit too bright. It is, but you...

The ADX5000 is overall better than the HD800S.

I have now the full boat, sounds good! :jecklinsmile:

I just recently had the chance to listen to the Hifiman Susvara again for about one hour, but did not have the ADX5000 with me there. So I compare from memory. Pictures Source: Philips CD100 (with tuning or some upgrade I don't know exactly) --> TMP Ant --> Susvara Comfort is about the same...

Search for user "pataburd" in this thread, there is a Focal Utopia comparison. And there is HD800S comparision also (mine). I guess with tube amps, the bass may not be so tight.

I currently have a pair of Burson v6 Vivid singles and Burson v5i Duals, they provide a precise, clean, rather spacious presentation, not to much bass in volume, but tight bass. Also the highs do not tend to hurt my ears, which is also good. The overall sound is excellent to my ears. I wonder...

Interesting review It confirms what I already wrote here, that the ADX5000 is an upgrade from the HD800S. It's comparable with the expensive Utopia.

Well, I the supposedly better USB cable has arrived, I don't really hear much difference, it sounds just as good with the factory Topping cable. If I said it sounds better, I would just justify my purchase, that I spent money on this. It definitely looks better, but it's behind my desk so it...

I also think it would not improve the signal that much, but I am curious. Would you buy this one in 0.5m? It's not that expensive: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004358188212.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.5de038darsjzpt&mp=1 Or which one would you try...

I do not hear any noise, but some say a new cable can improve.
