Hello there!   I am in need of a new DAC. Right now I am using the Decware CSP2+ amp with the Beyer Dynamic DT990's. Very pleased with the sound but I would like to upgrade my dac. Maximun I would like to spend is around 800 usd.   Could you guys recommend me a nice dac for my combo...

You talk highly of the Genalex 6922's! Maybe I should give it a go when I have enough funds for it. I was thinking about changing my input tubes into 6922's. Thanks fo the heads up. Any other tubes that people might recommend?

You won't be disappointed! I am also using the Tung Sol 5Y3GT. I still can't figure out which one I like the most. The 5Y3G by Sylvania has las impact (base wise) and is to me, a little more transparent because of that. Though the Tung Sol is great for music which has nice bass lines.  ...

Is it possible to use the volume knob on this DAC to fine-tune the overall (master)volume when used in combination with a headphone amp?

That looks like a reasonable price. Looking forward to your impressions mrarroyo!

Nice work! Any news on the price yet?

I also liked J. Rawls as a producer. Pete Rock is high on my list! (Only prefer the old stuff though) The one that is mentioned earlier on from the group Hocus Pocus is also very good.   I am also a great fan of the french group called: Jazz Liberatorz. They are combining hiphop with jazz...

Hip-hop is real music, there is no competition. There is only good music.   To me, the real MC's aren't having beef with other people. They just do what they do, they respect others and let the real you shine. That is why I think there is no "best rapper".

This looks promising! Looking forward to the final results!

I had to wait 6 or 7 weeks but you won't be dissapointed. Just received a NOS Sylvania 5Y3WGTA and put it in for a quick listen. Still waiting for my Mullard CV2492's though... Think I will be even more satisfied when those arrive! :)

If you go for the 600 Ohm versions you might need an amp that can drive them as well. I am not a believer of the whole 5.1 CMSS3D type of things. To be honest, a 2 channel stereo headphone is all you need. I have experimented with the above listed technologies but I never found them pleasent or...

Are you going to use this headphone for gaming only? If not, or if listening to music has a higher priority this headphone might not be for you. With that having said, there are better headphones out there for gaming.   I personally like Beyer's for gaming and listening to music as well.  ...

I have owned this headphone in the past. Doesn't it include the USB soundcard?

Maybe you should look it up in the manual or you might ask the guys over at Little Dot. They are pretty responsive. With that having said, just see and try for yourself! Low or Medium should do it but I think it's about personal preference. Let your ears decide!

That's what I thought as well You know I couldn't pass on these tubes... I am already pleased to own and use this amp, it can only get better!

Just picked up 3 NOS Mullard CV2492's Gold Pin versions for my CSP2 for 60 bucks! I hope I'll like em! Think I will keep this amp for a little while

Nice review there! I think we all have been waiting for a full review. Good job!

How is the synergy between a Beyerdynamic DT 990/600 and this amplifier?

This looks very interesting. My brother recently bought the Audio-GD ROC and this new combo could be very nice! It's the reason why I wanted to sell my Elekit because balanced and solid state might be more for me. Please keep us informed

I agree with Skylab, I mostly listen to intstrumentals; jazz, soul, funk and I also preferred the DT990's over the DT880's because of its bass. I also find both phones quite similar in sound with the exception of the bass with the DT 990's. The DT880's are a bit more neutral and have better...

Nice video! Can't wait to get my hands on mine, my MANUFAKTUR should arrive this monday. For me, the bass on the DT 880 was just too little, that is why I preferred the DT 990. Though the DT 880 was more natural sounding to me (with less bass) and with more dynamics Please note that this...
