The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)
Thank you :) About the Rme I'm in the middle: If a part of me loves to have a balanced headphone out and balanced analog outputs, the other loves as much the possibility to have an IEM Output ( Adi-2 Dac )... Talking about the FS or the not-FS version it's only a question of convenience: the...- antoramp

The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)
I've ordered a Matrix Audio X-Sabre Pro... I've read some good reviews about it... If it happens that I don't like the sound because it's too sabre-like ( this Matrix unit shoudn't, but who knows... ) I'll eventually buy the Rme ( Adi-2 Dac or the Pro FS ) or the Holo Spring Level 1. Also, in...- antoramp

In the end I had to cancel the order because the estimated shipping date shifted to the end of december ( or even after )... too much in my opinion ( that’s my fault )...- antoramp

Matrix Audio X-Sabre Pro
Hi everyone! My X-Sabre Pro is coming tomorrow ( or the day after ) so i’m preparing my system for this new Dac!

It should arrive in mid November... Do you think that it needs also some time for burning in the components?- antoramp

The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)
Ended up ordening this Sony. I was overthinking about measurements and al the things that comes around ( i was also considering the Matrix Sabre Pro and the Rme Adi-2 because of their specs ). But, in the end I decided to buy the Sony because of its focus on the lower spectrum ( My ears are very...- antoramp

Is there also a test of this Dac/Amp about the THD, THD+N, SINAD, SNR or something like that? Because I didn't find any of this measurements on the internet.... I'm seriously thinking of buying it but having also this kind of informations could be useful! Many thanks :)- antoramp

Yes, I love the sound of the WM1A. I prefer laidback sound instead of analitical one. So I think I’ll go for the Sony Ta. Many thanks for your reply :) My only question is... is Sony ready to release a new upgraded version of the TA or something like that? ( because I see that the TA now turned...- antoramp

this is what i was looking for! Thank you so much! Really! You helped me a lot :) Only one last thing: Talking about imaging and detail ( in other words, the ability to hear the most possible from a hi-res music file ) do you think that these dacs are more or less on par or, maybe, one is...- antoramp

Thank you for the fast response :) I see that there are a lot of possibile tunings in the RME and it’s obviously a good thing and it’s one of the pros of this Dac in my opinion! But my question is also about musicality and imaging. I’m asking to this forum because I can’t make an audition of...- antoramp
