So What would be the better amp, the CHA 47 or the Supermini V5.....
Originally posted by wordsworth BTW I don't think there is a unanimous view on whether a standard portable Meta42 is better that the v4 or the v5 (though no one has tested this yet). |
We did at the Seattle meet; the META42 and ETA42 won hands down. |
Originally posted by wordsworth Eric343, that doesn't surprise me, I now have the PDAC from aos and the amp on that is a lot better than the supermini, with both of them powered by 12 volts. But the supermini is still a great startup amp as it gives you a taste of what amps can do. Even if you then upgrade to a meta42 you will likely keep the supermin because it is just so small and portable. Wordsworth |
Originally posted by Darxtar I brought my supermini V5 to the Seattle meet specifically to compare it with a meta42. I was able to test it out with both the meta and the eta42. I also had my impressions verified by other head-fi members attending the meet. The meta42 and eta42 was significantly better. What eric343 said about the supermini was right on. It is a very small portable amp with really good sound qualities, it has it's place but it is not a meta42 or eta42 by any standard. By the way the meet was great. It opened my eyes or I should say ears to what is out there in this head phone community. It was great to put faces to some of these names we use and meet some fellow head-fi people. Eric343, I know you had a lot to do with setting the meet up. Thank you for your work, it was a very good meet. |
