TempoTec March V - fully discrete Class A 2W DAC/AMP
First review in English. XLRs seems to be volume controlled. So it can be used as a preamp and will be useful for active speakers. But it seems no option to volume bypass on the XLRs. Which probably some will want for pure line out from the DAC to an AMP.- HiFiRobot

TempoTec March V - fully discrete Class A 2W DAC/AMP
New device. Personally I am slightly sceptical regarding if this is really fully discrete and true class A. But lets see if Tempotec can deliver on their claims. Pricing looks decent. ------------------------------------------------------------------- TempoTec MARCH V Series Dual DAC chips...- HiFiRobot

Introducing SMSL H400 Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier 1000mW/300Ω,550mW/600Ω Earphone AMP
Hi, I assume this is for the balanced out. What is the power rating for single ended? "Output power: 15W at 16Ω, 7.5W at 32Ω, 2000mW at 150Ω, 1000mW at 300Ω, 550mW at 600Ω"- HiFiRobot

Nice. This CVJ s-pin cable should fit my KZ X HBB PR2 or am I confused? Edit: added pics, looks compatible.- HiFiRobot

Thanks for pointing out the weird non standard 2-pin connector. The Z300 connectors looks square compared to QDC rounder edges.- HiFiRobot

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
Some of my pure copper cables. Different terminations for different IEMs and headphones. 2-pin, MMCX, 2x3.5mm so can't really compare soundwise. If I can even hear any :thinking: XINHS 4 Core 6N Single Crystal Copper is AFAIK the most expensive pure copper cable from XINHS. It was mentioned as...- HiFiRobot

Todays work setup iFi Diablo -> 20 ohm impedance adapter -> Hakugei Rice Litz 6N OCC -> Simgot EA500 -> Anjirui TS-400 foam tips With the 20 ohm adapter I can run EA500 on my preferred normal gain from the Diablo.- HiFiRobot

I tried this with 3M Micropore on the vent closest to the stem and it certainly bumps the bass a bit without going into crazy basshead territory. Took it off after a while as I wanted to get accustomed to the OG signature before starting to mod. I have these "White Fine mesh" now in different...- HiFiRobot

Mine are like this. Black nozzle with foam, Red is empty. And to my understanding this is the usual configuration. But good idea, maybe write "Black nozzle with foam" and "Red nozzle without foam" to avoid confusion.- HiFiRobot

This actually works without blasting my ears out. Rebelamp doesnt ramp up volume too early. Didn’t notice any channel balance on the volumes I was on. Low gain on the RebelAmp as the Simgot is high sensitivity. iFi Zen Stream → Chord Clearway Coax → Hegel HD12 → Oyaide Neo d+ Class A RCA →...- HiFiRobot

The discovery thread!
I have the KZ PR2 incoming, it seems to need power at 94dB / 15ohm. And thats actually the main reason for buying it. I wanted something hard to drive for my desktop amps and tubes. As my S12 Pro responded very well to ZDT Jr so continuing on that power to planars journey :smile:- HiFiRobot
