Krell KSA 5 Clone (China)
OMG!! I thought sunnee's post was addressed to me: I got myself something with the same (looking) internals, a while back, but have had a self-enforced break from listening (and HF), so it's just been gathering dust. I do recall that I really enjoyed it with my older LCD2, which are my main...- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
I wonder if Gustard intentionally included op-amps in this design, as some-kind of marketing ploy. From what I recall of the H10 thread, and now this one, much interest, discussion, and daresay, purchasing appears based upon the op-amp rolling potential! As @MikeW said, first and foremost...- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
That's great. It's just speaking as an interested observer, sure, the effects of different upgrades are of significance, however I want to read first about 'how this amp compares to other amps', rather than 'what effect do different op-amps have'. To that point, you refer to bass weight...- BassDigger

Hey y'all! Bin keeping an interested, but distant, watch on this thread. It's nice to see another adopter of niche Chinese hifi, and I look forward to reading your further impressions, especially if you can make some comparisons to some established and respected kit (like Cavelli)! :) I just...- BassDigger

SubPac for Sub Referencing
It's late where I am, so apologies, but I can't follow @nephilim32 's chain of connections. My suggestion: keep the subpac out of your signal path. So, connect dac to amp, the normal way. Then, give your subpac it's own separate feed by connecting it to a second output from your amp. If your...- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
Well, I guess that my (rhetorical) question is..... If Massdrop is a 'dealer/distributor', then are they not obliged to be the point of return? If not, then as you say, it's a matter for Gustard. It would probably be a good idea for them to clarify this, either way!- BassDigger

Disclaimer: I know nothing about 'Massdrop'. I guess that it depends upon the agency in which Massdrop is acting? Is it acting as a seller/dealer, or does it simply act as the medium for the seller, like ebay? If it's acting as the dealer/distributor, then I'm sure that it must have some...- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
Please explain. You're saying something (the H20?) is discontinued, and something (???) doesn't have the 4-pin balanced connector?!? I don't understand. Can you supply a link?- BassDigger

Just to chime in here: I know nothing about Massdrop, but I too would be wary if a seller were only stipulating a 30 day warranty! However, regarding Gustard, on the H10 thread (I believe) it was reported that they would honour the warranty on any amp, no-matter where it was bought (or something...- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
Hello, and welcome. Who are you? A new (Gustard) employee, or just someone helping out? Anyway, I thought that it was a translation error (i think that I said so, a few posts back): it's what made the most sense. I'm very happy with my new (considerably less expensive) amp, so I won't be...- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
You've not mentioned where you saw these specs, but I think that I recall seeing something that appeared to be a mis-translation, somewhere. I think that the "200 ohm" refers to the damping factor, rather than any output/input impedance. If I'm correct, then 200 seems a reasonable figure.- BassDigger

Gustard H20 headphone amp
Yeah, well the WA7 is just a combination dac/amp unit, if I'm not mistaken. I've never been tempted by that, or any other combi unit. OTL? I don't know about the WA7, I just know that those amps are for high impedance cans, only. Aah! But my concern is about the difference between those...- BassDigger

Thanks for that, but perhaps you could go into more detail next time (Jus'kiddin'! :ksc75smile:) If you can find out, I'd like to know which Woo amp that you thought wasn't so good: I've always read that their stuff is excellent, but of course, there's a whole range of products, and you could...- BassDigger

Hey, lucky you: it's looks like you've got two new 'toys' to play with. Don't forget to post your impressions: please include some details, like what phones you're using it with, and what other amps you can compare it to. Cheers.- BassDigger
