PS Audio GCHA vs Black Cube Linear

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hello guys,

 

I`m consindering the headphone amp to buy. My audio source is X-FI Elite PRO, genre preferences - rock, indie, post rock, electronics.

The cans are: AKG 240 MK2 and Beyer`s 990 (250 ohm). Also I`m going to proceed with Denons AH-D2000.

 

Basically right now, I`m chossing between two options PS AUDIO GCHA vs Black Cube Linear.

 

The PS Audio is on sale right now, and 500$ bucks is really looks bargain for such item. So I`m wondering, can the PS Audio Dac beat X-FI Elite? Can the AMP of PS Audio be compared to Black Cube? That is even more important for me.

 

I read a tons of positive feedbacks about Black Cube and it is also has pre-amp feature, which is good for me, but the price are still 2x times higher to PS Audio.

 

 

Can you please give me, which thing to choose?

I've had a Black Cube Linear for several years and I enjoy it quite a bit.  I bought a GCHA a few months back when they went on sale and it compared favorably with the BCL.  Ultimately, I returned the GCHA since I need another amp like I need a hole in my head. However, if I were ampless and was faced with which amp to buy today, I would probably pick the GCHA and pocket the savings.

There's a GCHA on sale at MusicDirect right now.  $399.  They used it for a photoshoot and supposed to be in perfect condition.
