I've got other more practical and comfortable headphones so these really don't see enough use. They're wonderful though, the sound is just ::chef's kiss::. Complete with the original box and adapter. They're in great shape, look wonderful. And the pads are still perfectly fine.

No, sorry, it has been sold.

€90, shipping in Europe. New, used only to verify that it works perfectly (and sounds awesome by the way). I have a Topping E30 that I that's more practical for me. This is the latest Atom model from JD Labs, with USB and optical inputs. The DAC is new and complete with box, power adapter (for...

Hi, If this unit is still available, how old is it and are the LED’s all still good?

Hi, is this still available?

I’m curious, mine didn’t ship with the plug adapter for EU. Did you buy yours separately?

Nothing too fancy, but it's a great work from home setup that I love to sit at even when not working. And when I do work I don't want to go to the office where I need to make do with some ANC cans. Covid really brought me back into the hobby :beyersmile: M1 MacBook Air into AOC 4K monitor that...

The dongle is excellent! So you’re using that as the input into the Atom? That could actually be really convenient... why didn’t I think of that?

“much” in this context is pretty ridiculous. If you auditioned them at exactly matched volumes I honestly don’t believe you can tell them apart. This is not magic, amplifiers operate by science. Vastly different, well implemented amplifiers, don’t sound “much” different. This is from actual...

I tried to put some more comparative listening in today. I had a great time listening tunes and rediscovering old standards, but as far as a "test" goes it was kinda lame. No way to level match properly, and no blind nothing. What I thought was an improved clarity, blacker backgrounds, in the...

> Why not check out the EL AMP II? Well that is the logical step up indeed. Importing from the US is prohibitively expensive though, especially when you go over €150. And Schiit and Topping also have products in the ~100USD range that should be good, have local resellers, and are maybe more...

Also, on rock albums the Atom is what I call loud at 11 o’clock, on quieter albums (mastered for more dynamic range) I’m still below 1. At low gain. Excellent stuff. ... I do which there was a luxury upgrade version that feels better. What’s inside is not really the only thing that matters.

I’m running a Rega Planar 3 with Ortofon 2M Bronze, or a NAD C525 into a Cambridge DAC Magic 100. Also some Tidal streaming, but kinda roundabout via an Apple TV into the same DAC, it’s not my primary mode. The Cambridge DAC was a pretty great upgrade for the CDP actually. I got it over the...

I just received my new Atom amp to run my HD600's. This is an entirely different beast than my Woo WA6 (v1). :astonished: In every way and more so than I anticipated! Everything about the WA6 just feels solid and nice. In comparison everything about the Atom is really light and cheap. It...

Quote: I know!  It's already showing so much more resolution on the HD580 than I was used to though. The Arietta I had never displayed the difference between my CDP and Ipod as clearly as this thing does: appreciating the NAD a lot more now ;)   Quote: I won't do the unpacking...
