Hi.
Here my current setup :

- Dac Psaudio nuwave (first one not the dsd)
- Schiit Vali 2+ like preamp with high gain
- Parasound zamp v2
- Audiovalve verto
- Panasonic ub9000 like drive
- Stax l700mk2
Its sound pretty good.

Dont know if the Stax l700mk2 could sound better ?
According to you is this headphone forgive bad recording ?
Because its sound good on youtube.
What do you think about youtube audio quality ?
Thank you by advance for your help.
I wish you a nice day.

Get rid of the Schiit Vali 2 and Parasound ZAmp v2 and get this amp with 2 3-pin XLR Cables and be careful with all the settings, like 8 ohms and low-and-slow volume levels:

Hi.
How do you think a NAD C316BEE v2 should be working with my verto by Audiovalve and my stax l700mk2 ?
Better than my current setup ?

The NAD C316BEE v2 will work fine, though having XLR inputs will allow more power to the audiovalve.

The volume should be high enough with the nad ?
Thank you very much for your answer !

How do you like your Panasonic ub9000 4k player. I am loving mine . Of course I upgraded the power cord and interconnects in my set up. Along with using a set of Isoacoustic isolation pucks. I have found it to be a pretty credible cd player when used as one with the video circuitry shut off. But it is has a complicated menu for setting up the options.

In my computer rig I use a schiit jottenheim 2 and it has proved to be capable performer with my Akg 712 headphones (single ended) but the Jottenheim 2 has balanced headphone outputs as well.

Not too shabby as a preamp either. Not world beating but not bad with my Elac Naviis active monitors in my desk top computer rig.
