I am using my iBasso D10 as dac and I am loving it. optical from macs and ps3, very portable, works as great portable amp too....

Raez how do you like your HifiMan HE-5?

 

[deltaspirit]

I dunno, I'm seeing it for $480. But for $430 or less used, it is a great choice for of that is your budget.

Sorry, just read this thread again.

I don't see myself ever buying another full-size headphone.

Maybe the DT880s if I ever need closed cans.

I doubt there will be anyone who invests in both a Darkvoice 3322 and a Figaro 332s (or 332c and 332 classic) just for the sake of directly comparing these '2 egg twins' from both brands.

Arie, i own the darkvoice 3322 and live close to Rotterdam. maybe we can organize a meet and great for comparing both amps once you've finnished your burn in period. also i can probably help you in getting various tubes for your amp. we can provide usefull information for this forum.

PM me if you are interested.

[deltaspirit]

I went ahead and ordered a 332S, what sort of tubes can and does this amp use?

 

[deltaspirit]

Hope you guys have no forgotten about this thread. Just an update, my 332S is on it's way and I should have it in a couple of days, expect a small overview the day it get's here and a small review a bit later. I also found out some info

The black 332S was a pre production model so all the 332S's for sale will be silver.

 

[BigTony]

Can't wait for this to be available in the UK!

 

[Godkin]

JustJulian is autioning off a lot of tubes for the 332S - some superb ones there, Deltaspirit, so order some of them.

The large rectifing tubes, order the Soviet made 6S19P or the ruggedised 6S19P-B, made by both the SVETLANA and ULYANOVSK plants.

The stock signal tubes are Chinese 6J1s. Russian versions of this tube are the 6J1P and 6J1P-EV. Western versions include: the EF95, M8100, CV4010, 6AK5, 6AK5W, 5654, 403A and 403B.

Is there supposed to be some hum in the background on the original 332? If not, how do I get rid of it?

but god these things sound good

 

[BigTony]

There was never any hummmm on my 332, dark background.
I just hope the new version lives up to expectation - my Jade with pseduo-balanced hd650 does sound awesome - but my DV332 did have the edge in 3D soundstage - never had the same 'goosebump' moments with any other amp (except one i can't mention here!).

Are you using new tubes?

I had a little hum on my new 337 but after a few hours it completely disappeared. I put it down to the new tubes "settling in", as others here had previously suggested.
