I don't know how much difference this would make since the AC frequency upsampling to 170kHz technically eliminates any remote possibility for noise entering the circuity from the power source.

My neighbors don't hear a thing, even at full throttle. I have yet to drive this combo into distortion range and even at uncomfortable loudness levels, the bass remains tight and controlled. At that level it's hard to subjectively assess other aspects of sound quality, but they sound like larger...

That's not true at all. I only have Sennheiser and Grado's, and I just committed to buying a used GS1000e to complement a RS2e. I also actively use a HD800s and HD600 (which I had for 25+ yrs). Grado sound is distinctly different, bit there are situations where one characteristic is preferred...

Couldn't agree more. This is off topic, but I modified the X14's and replaced the caps (for high-pass) in the signal path to the tweeter. I am not recommending it, unless you are a DIY'er (I built my own speakers, back when Dynaudio sold raw drivers). The Emit's and Excite's use the inexpensive...

Nice little set-up you have there. I am using two P3's as the main amp. I don't have too many audiophile friends, and the few I have are very sceptical about the P3 and Audio-gd in general. Perhaps they read too many measurementalist blogs. Very smooth sounding indeed and well balanced. For...

Isn't the M3 just a double P3 version, with two of everything: transformers, power supplies, pre-stages, diamond-cross output stages? I recently obtained the "2020" version of the P3s. I sometimes wonder about the mysterious version designations, which they could definitely improve. It's not...

Well...now playing Pearl Jam Yield (re-mastered) on a 40 yr. old Thorens TD320 (slightly modded), McCormack phono stage, Burson CV3 and...the RS2e's. Couldn't be happier. No screeching even at full volume, extremely lively, deep soundstage, details. If there is something lacking, it's the...

Probably the best explanation on configurable DPLL settings is found here: https://hifiduino.wordpress.com/sabre32/ The one-line takeaway: The lower the bandwidth settings, the higher the jitter rejection (related to internal re-clocking features). It's not clear to me if a higher DPLL setting...

You're welcome. I couldn't believe they were only so few comments and likes, given the popularity of Grado.

Considering the review was written now almost 4 years ago, I still stands the test of time. I am a very happy RS2e owner for the last 2 years because of the review. Always on budget side of things when it comes to the audio hobby, this one pleases perfectly. Over the last 50 years, I had Beyer...

FWIW, I use the C3 mainly with 99.8/32 Ohm Grado RS2e and 102/300 Ohm HD800s. No noise whatsoever with the Grado's, dark silence at volume setting 100 and output high. I am not an IEM fan, but I have a pair of cheap QKZ VK4 (105/16 Ohm) with the same results. Interestingly, with those, I picked...

While it's great to read all the recent glowing reviews of the V3, what is still missing is a direct comparative review against established products. I recall a review of the V2+ in the Headphoneer from 2017. As an owner of the V3, hobbyist and enthusiast I occasionally visit high-end audio...

Yes, and not only is the soundstage amazing, but the stereo imaging also. I often use the V3 as a classic pre-amp powering a decent sized power-amp and Dynaudio two-way speakers. Speakers properly positioned, the speakers "disappear" in the panoramic image. Test music: Pat Metheney - The Road to...

I am suffering from a serious case of Bursonitis since the V3 arrived about 2 months ago. It has a very addicting quality. Enjoy!
