I see you comment on the stereophile review. Well, it's all lies from those guys. I got the V8.
Now that you gotten yours for a while, I asked you before, but the Sylvania tube upgrade, even when using built in DAC(analog out on cheap computer even has lower and higher end extentions), do you hear any better sound?
secondly, most importantly, which headphone you use with the x-can v8? I got AKG K 701, and they have alot of bass even on analog out from computer, but less on the V8(thats tubes for ya!). People say Denon 2000/5000 is soo good and best with V8, you believe it makes much difference on overall SQ, if you don't mind the bass? I just can't.. but I wonder what you use, find any difference?
thanks!.... still got your v8 I guess?
Wonder how it would sound with a better source, but I don't think I will bother... the tubes remove details and color the sound so much that a further dac upgrade might not be that much value. I did not hear that much difference when using the x-can v3 with analog out on PC vs using the MF X-DAC v3 which was a $1000 dac!!
Comment those who want, not only Darkangel
