kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.I'm very curious about your chain setup. Is the SU-2 like a device to clean the usb noise before sending to the dac? Which output...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.but does it reduce the amount of available power going into each amp? Because the dac is sending analogue signals out to the amps.

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.How are you splitting the digital signal from the RME to the two amps exactly? I think the RME only has one xlr output.

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.Nice setup. Are you using Amazon HD directly on website or is there a dedicated app? So the Denafrips Ares II pairs well with the SA-1...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.Maybe I’ll need to test and end up keeping both after all haha

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.I'm planning to sell the THX 789 as I expect the SA-1 to be better. Interesting you are keeping both. You find them different?

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.how do you compare the RME vs SU-9 dac connected to the SA-1 or in general? I am on the fence about keeping my SU-9 or not.

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.Mine has shipped finally. Expected this week sometime. Will update everyone how it sounds compare to the existing Drop THX AAA 789 pair...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.Thanks for more comparison info on this. The Stellia are quite resolving so maybe something with more fuller body would be a nice pair...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.Other than wide soundstage do you hear any other sonic superiority from Soloist 3XP vs SA-1? This was my other strong consideration when...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.For your 300 ohm hp it should be enough power on low gain and low Z. Spend more time on this to see.

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.No deep deals but I think on Burson's own site the Soloist 3XP is on a bit of a discount. I definitely want to get a R2R dac down the...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.just measured my cabinet shelf. The Burson would be on the edge of too long to fit nicely so I'll stick with the SA-1 order (dimensions...

kdub replied to the thread Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!.So from what you heard from others which one would be more smooth, warmer and less treble brightness sounding amp while still revealing...
