For the link I was sent a couple days ago for my FPGA chip (for my Pontus 2, non 12th), there's no sign of a 1.5 version, yet at least. But eager to hear what might be circling around and what impressions are sonically.

Thank you heaps, @jkteddy77 - I was actually in dialogue with @ddtomas (stellar price he's selling it for), but ultimately found a local seller close to me where I could demo the Pontus 2 (pre 12th also) beforehand. An amazing dac, and at 1100€ the price-to-performance is downright crazy. I...

Great seller! And a steal at this price! Buy with confidence :-)

Bump and prayers

My thought also, which is unfortunate. But hey, learning as I go into this crazy hobby. The thing that confuses me is that by replacing the AKM-based internal dac for the Pontus I actually experienced more sibilance. Which was just odd to me. But might be that the roughly 200 hours playtime the...

Thanks heaps for answering. The seller is the second owner. He doesn't know how long the first owner had it. He himself 'only' put 100-150 hours on it. Anything else to keep in mind in terms of steering clear of sibilance? Will using USB make the sound harsher, or simply slightly less high...

Hi folks, I'm interested in acquiring a Pontus 2 in either the newer 12th or 12.1 version for a reasonable price. Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi folks, I met a local dealer willing to sell me his Pontus 2 (non anniversary/OG version) for around 1100$. I had a chance to try it with my setup. It was stunning in every way, except for one. Somehow it seemed more fatiguing with singer sibilance not being as controlled as I've heard on...

Hi all, In case anyone is thinking of parting ways with their Audio-gd R27 I might be interested in buying. Happy to hear from you.

Hi folks, I am interested in buying a Gustard R26, in Black - within the EU. Let me know if you are willing to sell, and we can discuss a price. Cheers,

They are, and this is not a way for me to 'jump the line' ahead of others, so to speak. Mostly, it's just damn expensive to have things imported to Denmark, where I live, from overseas. So, if anyone within the EU is parting ways with their Tungsten, it'd be a true blessing my way. That said, I...

Hi all, WTB the Tungsten. Slim, slim chance with the scarcity and hype around these, BUT putting this out there in case anyone wants to part ways with their Mod House Tungsten (DS / Double Sided). Who knows, finding an amp to drive them properly might not be up everyone's alley. I'm based...

Excellent amp at a great price! And, might I add, an amplifier with a certain tube-signature to it. Super pleasant while detailed. Good luck with the sale!

Must admit I've gotten bit by the Tungsten bug like you all. What an incredible praise this has gotten thus far! Also, it seems to be the case that my one amp just so happens to be able to drive the voltage hungry phones. I've got the Phonitor XE, which has ±60V rails, a measured 44.5V output...

Spotted this review (in German, but hey, there's always Translate) of the Heddphone 2 - for anyone interested. https://www.mobilefidelity-magazin.de/hedd-audio-heddphone-two-test
