    Audio-gd Compass 2 amp/DAC Impressions thread

    Thanks a lot Dafo.   It is becoming very technical for me. Only my ears will be able to "judge" those nuances!   However I believe it is for most of us  interesting to know how do we set this filters (on/off?) on the compass2 or the filters come along the WM8741 chip board as a package?  ...

    Audio-gd Compass 2 amp/DAC Impressions thread

    Thanks a lot for your clear explanation Dafo!   I see that the Wolfson WM8741 tends to be in the long run  the preferred chip for this compass2. Probably the best compromise between detail, softness and overall musicality. As indicated earlier, I am absolutely delighted with the Jds Lab Odac...

    I find the Odac to be very detailed and clean sounding, a little bit on the cold side although no harshness whatsoever. ...therefore my choice for the Compass2 with Wm8741.

    JVC HA-FXZ 100/200

    My general experience is that yes, DD need burn in, but most of all, your ears need to get acquainted to the in-ear headphone.   The FXZ200 has superlative and extremely good bass, to me very precise and forward mids and also very clean and elegant highs. Learn to appreciate them. There are...

    JVC HA-FXZ 100/200

    Set up is as follows:   Hifiman HM601  + (Meier Corda2MOve Amp).   HM601 is fairly powerful and more than sufficient for iem's, however Meier Amp delivers specially to the FXZ200 an extra punch and control, and to the RE 272 an even more detailed sounstage.   To my ears, obviously...
