Hi,unfortunately you have to do it the hard way Cheers

I don't know much about Tripp-Lite but I use Pangea AC 14SE MK II on all my gear (around $60.00 ) ,if you using none balanced source I would highly recommend 18 AWG RCA Quad Shield RG-6 Coax 75 Ohm with Solid Copper Center (ebay -cheap ) for interconnect Good balanced source should improve...

@Slim1970 ..I think it's time for 994Enh-Ticha :L3000: and powercord upgrade ..my 2c

Nice combo :ksc75smile:

I would suggest different -none speaker amp or connection ,I'm feeding iESL via XLR and couldn't be happier Cheers

Nothing to be "Be cautious" about ,Gustard is legit ,enjoying my stack like a boss :L3000:

I have "alien" head myself ,matter of a fact is I couldn't fit SR L300 LE at all ! :triportsad: , 207 headband is way better and you can adjust it just like Sennheiser headband ,if you going to do this mod ,please use X-ACTO hobby knife and double-side Scotch clear mounting squares (removable...

This my final rev. 1/2 inch rise with Armacell CXS12043 Armacell sheet Armaflex 1/2" foam,it took my SR-207 to another level ,very happy with this mod

Good pick ,you might be right ..someone have to take one for the team ..please ..can't wait for some first hand impressions I'm out till then

You can roll opamp with this DAC so it depends what's in it ,THD+N should be in 0.000x % ballpark

You set up have plenty of power and it's sufficient to drive any HP or eSTAT's,the only reason I passed on iCan is tonality ,few mention iCAN having similar tonality no matter the source ,it's not IESL which is very natural with the pinch of dark I would suggest different amp ,you want at list...

Hi Mike,no point in getting all mad :) ,no one is trying to steer controversy and what not ,one of the reasons I bought this amp was roll-able opamps I previously owned very good OTL and still have a bunch of tubes and other tube amps but the day I tried "discrete" opamps it was over ,still miss...

Here she is ..(US$1,169.00~ $1,269.00) https://www.shenzhenaudio.com/gustard-dac-x26-dual-es9038pro-dsp-pll-native-balanced-decoder.html

Took a look at the H20 Massdrop today ,a lot of folks asking for H20 vs THA AAA 789 comparison,this came in the mail yesterday ,2x OPA1602A (789 have 3x 1602A ),that's why I love this amp :)

Picked them up from classified few days ago so now I can compare all three ,with no particular order * 994 Enh-Ticha- refined and musical ,natural (best with my LCD-2) * V6 vivid - dynamic,3D/decent sound-stage (best with SR-207 ) * SS3602 - natural,clean ,fast,kinda reminds me of my...

If you using RCA to balanced interconnects you volume might be slightly lower then RCA ,2c

You need balanced connection (gain -standard) for any harder to drive HP...Volume @ noon for LCD-2 ,all them 1/4 jacks are for low impedance HP

It's hard to tell if this is good or bad ,next batch will be available by the end of Feb. so hopefully someone can post some impressions ,have my X20 Pro on the way and will prolly pass on this X26,pretty sure it will be north of $1200

Full Description from the other website Digital filters are an inseparable part of the design of modern high-performance audio DAC systems. The most critical design goal is to reduce aliasing noise in the digital domain audio band by upscaling and noiseing the original digital audio stream...

Great ,two days ago I order X20 Pro

Small follow up in regards to power requirements ,both amps picture below can push SR-207 or LCD-2 with ease ,I'm very pleased how transparent IESL sounds ,no hint of coloring as far as I can tell with a slight pinch of darkness, Pairs well with brighter sounding (both my amps) source like...

Yes XMOS is pretty bad and implemented over multiple platforms but why would you spend all that $ on some stupid USB insulators ? Why not get digital bridge for almost same money, Gustard U16 is only few back more and ESS driven

@Deftone ..It's hard to recommend anything since we all have different music preferences but there are definitely some good choices under 1K, I have been enjoying this D50 for a while now (early adopter) and I like it a lot but it's time to go balance ,will be keeping it just in case ,yes D50...

Sounds like you need to upgrade your amp (more resolving/transparent ) you should be able to tell the difference ,same as Optical vs. USB ..amp have a lot to do with your end result- tonality
