AudioQuest NightOwl - A closed-back NightHawk
So, I ended up with a Cayin tube amp. Investigating new tubes to really get of the ground. Thank you for your replies. I’m looking for a good longer cable for the Nightowl. $100 max. Any recommendations? Thanks- 486930

New tube amp: the Cayin HA-1A MK2
Ok, so I bought one used and the guy had used it sparringly with the stock tubes. I use it with my Nightowls in my vinyl rig. It really sounds quite good with a nice mix of warmth and detail. But I'm gonna need some other tubes to tighten up the bass. Is there a store that sell tubes who would...- 486930

Yeah, it’s German I think, but I’ve just seen it for sale in Sweden as well. At a retailer. Anyway, thanks, I just wondered as I am thinking of buying it Mads- 486930

Sorry if this is a stupid question: what is the difference between the HA-1A mk2 and the CS-1H? They look exactly the same.... Mads- 486930

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
Anyone tried this with a pair of Nightowls? I’m using those while I save up for the Aeon 2 Closed. Also, anyone done a comparison with the Lyr 3 or the Cavalli CTH? Thanks- 486930

AudioQuest NightOwl - A closed-back NightHawk
Oh sure, the amp will mostly allow me to listen to records when my wife binges Netflix. But the integrated DAC is too convenient to pass up- 486930

AudioQuest NightOwl - A closed-back NightHawk
Hi guys, Just bought a used pair of Nightowls. Is there any consensus on which amp to use with them at around 500$? I’m thinking about about either a Lyr 3, Jotunheim or Asgard. Or maybe a Cavalli CTH? I will use the Owls in my vinyl rig. Any advice is most welcome- 486930

Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread
Hey guys, I have the Qutest which is perfect for my stereo setup. I'm thinking of getting the Hugo 2 instead to get (trans)portability. So quick question: is the Hugo 2 still the best portable dac/amp below, say, 3K? Is there actually any other battery powered dac/amp that comes close...- 486930

Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread
So, I just sold my Qutest to get the Hugo 2 instead. Before I take the plunge, is there anything else out there that has equal (or thereabouts) SQ, is battery powered, transportable, and drives headphones? And does anyone know what price point of the 2go module will be? Thanks- 486930

Thanks man. I think I'll go with Meze 99 Noir from Massdrop. I have the HD 58X and enjoy them immensely. Aaprt from the fact that one is open and one is closed, have anyone heard both? How do they compare?- 486930
