    Comment by 'grailnewt' in item 'xDuoo XA-10'

    Does anyone know if you can use the xduo xa10 as a dac only in other words input would be an external amplifier. The reason I ask is I have a tube amp id like to use for my speakers but no dac. Any help would be appreciated.

    Both the starry night and the moonlight sound wonderful on my ta-22 or my xduo xa10 no additional hardware needed. Just my 2 cents.

    Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone

    Age is only one factor tbh I'm not remotely young but my hearing is still way above average for the mean even ... (I'm 40+). But I can hear up to around 19.5khz or slightly higher very well in fact. I personally find the mid range of the liric 1 to be more pleasing to my ears, and find the...

    I had a chance to demo the v2 side by side with the v1 last week and I don't like the v2 at all as you said the treble is way too hot.... I'm not young by any stretch and it really bothered me as well .

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

    Thank you for the help. I really appreciate the insight. I did find some nice nos RCA/tung sol 6AS7G for reasonable price so I'll probably get those if I get the amp. Price for tubes isn't a huge concern at the end of the day it will still be cheaper than buying a 6-7k OTC amp 😂

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

    I'm seriously contemplating getting the mk6+ just trying to understand what I'm in for. I don't know anything about adapters either and have very little to no experience with diy and no skills to do so. I'm okay with spending more money if they work I'm just trying to understand if a 6550 or 6l6...

    Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone

    That's pretty easy tbh the liric mk1 is far better in every way imo not as shouty or even close.The bass response specifically is much better quality, and quantity. The mids are a little more recessed but pushed forward a little. And the treble to my ears is very good. To put it short they are...

    Personally speaking I don't hear any sibilance from the liric 1 either. Could be my audio chain too. I'm currently running them from an xduo ta-22 with nos mullard tubes, aftermarket 4.4 balanced occ copper cables ,and let me tell you it sounds absolutely amazing 🤩🤩. So I guess I'll just leave...
