Several years ago I used to own the V200 (amp) and V800 (dac).
I found the V200 warm and musical but on the dry side and felt the soundstage was little narrow and mids congested and treble rolled off.
Reading through the thread, I got the impression that the Gustard H10 was an improved V200--more sweeter mids with better soundstage and treble extension.
Half way through this long thread, someone interrupts and dashes my assumptions and posts that it's inferior to the V200 and that everyone is deaf.
Hmmm. I'm thinking, I just joined and ordered the Gustard H10 on Massdrop. Did I make a mistake?
I also have the Lyr 2 (high end Russian tubes) with Multi-Bifrost and Vali to compare. I'll be using the Gustard H10 with Grado GH1 and JH13 pro.
I guess I'll have to listen for myself and draw my own conclusions.
i can't wait to hear your thoughts as well, especially the bifrost !
