My Heed Obelisk PRE/PS/PX stereo amp drove HE-6 really really well, but guess it´s not the answer your are looking for . I got a mail from "Blue Coast Music" with offers on some nice relaxing jazz music (in DSD I presume ??), but not sure which format to buy for the Vega. Can it play both...- Larryonfire

HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone
I don´t know if any here have tried HE-6 with Heed stereo amps and wrote about it in the last 900 pages, but was surprised the other day that the synergy was so nice. I sold my HE-6 last year after I lost patience with finding the right amp and turned back to the HE-500. But the other night I...- Larryonfire

Eeeehhh, sorry for starting a heated discussion about my volume problems, could be just one rotten egg out of 10.000 good ones, so I don´t want to blow anything out of proportion. but I thought there should be room to mention it here, Taurus costs 2500 $ in Europe, so it´s not pocket change for...- Larryonfire

Well it´s very clear to hear if you test it, a dynamic problem that changes from 6-9 on volume, but I get your point good advice. The value of the Taurus will be much lower if I sell it again, because of this defect. I have had a good deal of different amps during the years and never had this...- Larryonfire

There is a DSD playback guide on Auralic website under Customer support. You have to turn DSD bitstream on JRiver (go Bitstream - custom - DSD over PCM) and use wasabi. But I have had problems too when switching between DSD + DXD and music still plays when I choose Asio driver over wasabi. It...- Larryonfire

I must say 40 hours into the burn in proces of the Taurus 2 it sounds great, nice dynamics and drive, but clearly better in balanced mode with HE-500 and my Calyx 24/192 DAC. Some have reported it´s more organic in STD and more refined in XLR, but not in my setup, as they are both very smooth. I...- Larryonfire

Hmmm, my Taurus 2 came today and it sounds great out of the box, but when volume is shot down still sound in left channel and at 7-8 o´clock left channel is stronger than right channel. Have changed different XLR cables around between DAC and Taurus + HE-500 cables, but same problem. Very bitter...- Larryonfire

Will also be interesting to get an impressions on the new HiFIMan HE-560 paired with Taurus, should be a nice step up in details and speed compared to HE-500 and more neutral.- Larryonfire

I´m also curious to hear HD800 on Taurus, as my first impression of HD800 was a pretty bright sound, but a change of setup could change this impression for the better because of synergy, resolution, dynamic and drive. Did Tyll make a secret review on Taurus, hmmm, must investigate on the...- Larryonfire

It´s aimed at people who love music, in normal 16/44 quality and up , but the Vega Dac should be highly revealing, so if you listen to poorly recorded music like some metal music + analytical cans, your ears could bleed pretty fast. I read two reviews where it´s said Vega digs out every last...- Larryonfire

Sorry guys, my mistake. Have been reading a thread about Taurus too. Got confused, great with a thread with all Auralic products and how they play together. A DNA Stratus- interesting, do you feel kind of blue ?- Larryonfire

This Thread has really gone to Las Vegas, but it´s fine with me as I maybe will get a Vega Dac too, along with the Taurus 2 that will hit my doorstep next week. So I´m all for a combo Thread. Have any of you with both machines any notes on how the synergy is between Vega and Taurus compared to...- Larryonfire

I would give the Vega (and Taurus) some more days before making any judgement. Let them play at low volume during the day and in the night when you sleep. That way you will quickly have given them additional 30-50 hour. Like cables, the subject of burn in is controversial for some people. But...- Larryonfire
