Great thread this is. Definitely picking this up asap. Looks like a fantastic option at this price point. I cannot say enough great things about Schiit.  

Using the Rolls PS15  adapter now. No adverse effects. Also, I don't notice any real differences in the sound. The good thing is this wallwart is better constructed and heavier duty than the one that came with the Bellari, so money well spent.

Just rolled in an NOS RCA Blackplate 12AU7 and it sounds incredible. I am amazed at the clarity and the warmth of this tube. This is the new champ for this amp, at least for me it is. Definitely recommend this one.

I ordered the PS15 through the Canadian distributor for Rolls as they don't ship directly to Canada. From what I've read it should be fine. Cost is not much of a worry. $20 for a 15v supply is pretty good. I will post my result when I receive it.

Just read this for the first time. Absolutely incredible review. Well written and thought out. I also love that you did not use fabricated words like 'warmness'. Great work and I cannot wait to get a pair of these Beautiful Cans.

Thanks for the input kstuart. Have you only tried 12AX7 tubes or have you tried others as well? I ask because after I switched to the lower gain variations, I didn't want to switch back. I found them to be so much more musical and smooth in this amp. Every 12AX7 I tried was so bright compared to...

DTKZ, there is a marked difference between the NOS tubes and the new issue tubes I have tried. I have tried new and old 12ax, at, au7 tubes and the NOS tubes sound so much better to my ears. I have enjoyed my 12AU7 tubes the most, especially since I got the Audioengine D1 DAC because of the...

I definitely meant that as a subjective statement. I find myself drawn in by the sound of the D2000 while the D600 leaves me 'outside in the cold' so to speak. I also find the D600 to be very large. On the smallest setting they are very loose on my head. I gave them a good 3 hours use and I just...

I work at a store that sells Denon cans and I did an extensive test between the D600 and the D2000. The conclusion I came to is that the D2000 is superior overall. There may be minor things that the 600 excels at but, in general, the 2000 is much more musical, warm, a pleasure to listen to. I...

I very much want to try one of these. Anybody have one with an Audioengine D1 and D2k cans? Preferably running optical instead of usb?

Thanks for the info goropeza. I am very interested in the mod for my D2k cans. I will start with the cups and possibly ship it away for the full pop later.

I run the Q701 with a Bellari HA540 tube amp and it sounds incredible. Very good throughout the frequency spectrum. I absolutely love it. Don't let anyone tell you low impedance cans won't work with tubes. Both my Q701 and AH-D2000 work very well with them.

Also wanted to state that the high and low inputs on the Bellari do not change the gain, they have to do with the sensitivity. With low power inputs like MP3 players, the low works better, but with steady power inputs like cd players, DAC, etc the high input works best. Or at least that's what I...

I have tried Sylvania, Philips, Mullard 12AU7;  Westinghouse, Mullard 12AT7; Admiral, Sylvania, Mullard 12AX7; and a GE 5751 (all NOS) and found that the Westinghouse 12AT7 and GE 5751 were the best so far. The 12AX7 tubes are too high gain and sound way to piercing to my ears. This is with AKG...

Great comparison. I would love to hear your thoughts with a variety of tubes such as the 12AX7, 5751, 12AU7, 12AY7. I have tried all of these in my Bellari and enjoyed all of them. However the 12 AX7 is way too bright in my opinion. I don't understand why kstuart  is so defensive. All of these...
