Yes but not the not the same as a DHT. But good point.

It would be a different sound anyway. Triode vs anything else.

I would doubt it would be that high. I would think 5 to 6 thousand but there are many variables, obviously.

Looks like a great room heater, which a good tube amp should be!

Have you tried lowering the digital volume? I find that from 90 to 100, the sound quality does not degrade.

Something is wrong with the IEM.

Yes that is common. More energy is needed when using wifi. Even with my phone, if I know I am going to need the battery to last longer, I shut down the wifi (iPhone 13Pro).

I haven't had any battery issue. Sound more like a factory reset, even with the wiping of apps, is the fix.

I get to listen to about everything and frankly, the DX300 was great and still is. The DX320 offers a different sound as does the DX260, which I really like. The FiiOs are pretty good now. More of a different flavor but IMO, not better, just different. And AK, which is normally very good but I...

The D16 is the tip for the digital signal so for the TRS or TR, it is the center connector on the plug. The Fiio, maybe ring 2 but Fiio would have that information.

The VCAP takes many hours to form/burn in. I am familiar with the Duelund and like them so that is what I went with.

I have some of the Pinnacle USSR tube marked as 6J5GT for convenience all about as matched. I bought 6 as it is never a good idea to buy just the number you need in case one goes bad or they don't really match. Four match really well, one is a little high on the current draw and one is much...

You want to know your tube measurements. But, many amps will have a few tubes lined up and you don't need to use the same brand and often the same brand is not used. With the 6SN7 socket, the heater connection is all that is shared. And, even two different tubes of the same year and manufacturer...

Why is no one doing some experimentation with two different types of driver tubes? One type in the front and electrically matched but a different brand in the rear.

A good loc tight would hold the screw. Looking at my SR2 right now and looking at some headphones costing 5 and 6 times as much and there headband assembling isn't as good and the leather section on them is junk compared to the SR2. That is my experience.
