That is about right, rarely goes above 1A. I think JCAT states 1.5A is the ceiling so they recommend 5V/2A PSUs just in case for headroom

The tk3i flies under the radar for some reason and seems under appreciated. Burson headphone amps get a lot of love but their reference speaker power amps and integrateds get overlooked. Definitely should be on a watch list if looking for amps in this price range. I have the timekeeper...

I've used multiple different PC audio players over the years and Audirvana Studio sounds the best for my setup.

Hi guys, Looking for ethernet cables with M12x connector terminated on one end and RJ45 on the other end which are budget friendly. Much appreciated for any more info on where to find some. I'm Canada based.

USB XE and NET XE are significant improvements over the Femto variants. I upgraded to both and powering with an external Plixir Elite BDC PSU.

Does anyone know if there's a DAVE2 coming out?

Kinki Studio Vision DAC1 CEC DA5 Audiomat Tempo 2.9 or C MKII

I like to use Audirvana (regular or studio version). They've made a lot of progress recently updating the player and making things more user-friendly.

I miss my CX/EX combo. Antipodes is great stuff. Anyone getting the new Oladra flagship?

For the size of TK3iR, don't think you can find an integrated class AB headphone/speaker amp that can put out this much power at this quality level. I have for sale a new one.

Hi are you still looking to buy hypsos?

Did you get any sound improvement after upgrading?

I still have mine as well and no plans to upgrade since I got it a year and a half ago. Here's a new review with a video as well of the s3 https://soundnews.net/sources/dacs/keces-s3-beauty-in-black/

I'm looking for an upgrade cable for these as well. Hard to find.

Hi, I still have this DAC. Very underrated and doesn't seem to sound like another DAC I have which uses a similar ESS. Neutral but not boring is how I describe it. You won't find any coloring of the sound. I use it as a pre amp to power kef ls50 monitors and some other custom bookshelves which...

Hi Guys, Got an update for you. I've been playing with my new speakers for the past week or so with the s3/s125. Great pairing! The DAC/pre-amp gives a nice smooth delivery to the power amp and resulting sound is very balanced and controlled. Good height and width of the soundstage, the...

I fired up the S3 last night with a pair of Sennheiser HD599's and HD700s. Great headphone amp, everything sounds so balanced and excitingly neutral (sounds like an oxymoron) lol. I'm still waiting for my speakers to arrive to test it out with the Keces 125 power amp. Ordered a pair of Esse...

I got the S3 and s125 combo about a week ago. Keces was insanely fast with the shipping. From Taiwan to Toronto in 1 day. I'm going to be setting it up soon with a pair of Esse Quadro L'Una 146 bookshelf speakers when they arrive. Will keep everyone posted soon!

Hey,   Where did you get them for 25% off? Is the jack actually good, unlike the x11is? I dont want to have to go through 2 pairs of klipschs that had jacks that were made like some cheap Chinese $1 earbuds.
