SMSL SP200 THX AAA 888 Balanced AMP!
I’m shopping for my first dedicated headphone amp and this is at the top of my list. Looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts when they start getting them- MiddestFi

I would also like this. Something about the clean aesthetic of the perfectly sized stack that gets me going!- MiddestFi

Topping D50
Excellent! I would likely be using tidal or amazon music hd on my phone. Do you anticipate there bring any software issues or incompatibilities or anything?- MiddestFi

Topping D50
Hey gang! Wondering if anyone has successfully connected an iPhone via the usb camera adapter to their d50. Im thinking of doing an Atom/D50 stack and the capability to connect my iPhone would push me over the edge into ownership!- MiddestFi

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
That’s a fair question. “Almost certain” is far too strong. The Atom measures to have extremely low distortion and noise levels especially for the price (along the lines of th THX AAA789). Most Schiit product measurements I have seen have ended up with a mediocre measured THD/noise. This is...- MiddestFi

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
Awesome. Thanks for the info! I’m still very torn between the Atom and the Asgard 3. I’m certain the atom will produce cleaner power (lower distortion, etc) albeit at half the amount but does that innately better? Will the atom be clinical? Will the Asgard be more musically engaging and will I...- MiddestFi

For now it’ll be pushing a pit of hd6xx or dt770/80 but who knows what the future holds! Kind of looking at the hifiman sundara which are a lower impedance but also a lower sensitivity. I’m not suuuuuper concerned with absolute horsepower right now as much the quality of that horsepower.- MiddestFi

I wonder if anyone out there has experience with this amp and the JDS Atom? Those are the two I’m torn between.- MiddestFi

Sounds like I’m talking to the right person! I have a pair of beyerdynamic dt770s that have a hefty amount of sub bass but unfortunately that’s kind of all they have going for them haha. I got the hd6xx’s because I wanted something with a smoother more relaxed (not not sloppy) response while I...- MiddestFi

Thanks for your response! I’m also getting started with headphones (my hd6xx are in the mail currently) so we’re probably on the same level of knowledge and experience on this particular front which is fine with me! If something is a noticeable improvement then it’s a noticeable improvement. If...- MiddestFi

Thank you for your constructive and not at all pointless and overtly condescending comment! I actually intended to respond to a specific member that posted a few posts ago but neglected to insert the quote. I’m sorry to have unduly notified you. Let’s try this again. Interested in hearing...- MiddestFi

I’m interested in your thoughts on this rig. I just bought a pair of hd6xx and I have the modi3/Asgard 3 on my short list of amp/dacs I’m looking at.- MiddestFi

Rig rebuild: Asgard3/Modi3 vs Atom/Topping d50
Perfect. Thanks for setting me on the right upgrade path! Probably going to read some more on the respective amps/dacs over the next couple weeks and pull the trigger on one (likely jds/topping).- MiddestFi
