I did not as I was content with the Audezes. I have heard the Voces once and thought they sounded nice and similar in quality to Staxs though for originality sake I opt for the Staxs. High end Staxs like the 007 and 009 are the most refined headphones I've come across in all my years.

I had a chance to hear this amp paired with Audeze CRBN headphones at a local show here in WA and I found the pairing to be fantastic. In the past I have not been very fond of Audeze headphones like the LCD series which I find bloated and sloppy. I've owned many Stax headphones and amps over the...

Hi, in the interest of simplicity I own a stax srd7pro and am looking to drive my headphones directly from the output of my dac/interface (a rme802) connected to the srd7pro and use the computer as my volume control. Is there enough gain available to drive the stax' and furthermore does this...

With the Sennheiser HD600s it's a match made in heaven. I suspect the 300ohm input impedance is an ideal pairing with this amp. I'm playing out of the SE output and the results are excellent. The 120ohm impedance K501s and far more so 25ohm DT48s where a good bit worse sounding than the HD600s...

I've never heard them and frankly don't have the funds to justify such a purchase. I definitely believe in the use of Beryllium for dynamic speaker designs and am sure they are very good. In my experience with electrostatic headphones and speakers, nothing comes close. While perhaps a bit...

I've heard many a nice dac in my day but cannot provide direct comparisons. The Questyle boasts pretty good specs and I suspect it's very good. I cannot compare. I'm very fond of AKM chips hence my purchase of this DAC. The best descriptors I can give for the A20H are clear and robust.

I purchased mine via the seller Foxremen, so available in the USA currently as the unit has 220/110v modes. I've been out of the headphone game for a bit and have never heard a pair of HD800s surprisingly. My preference by a vast margin is Stax electrostatic headphones. They are simply and...

To describe the sound in brief. Extremely dry, neutral and fast. It also has a certain power and weight to the sound. I'm really impressed.

Just picked up one of these. Incredibly solid unit. The headphone out seems very quality even from the single ended output with my trusty AKG K501s. Balanced is supposedly better on this unit though I haven't tested and don't see why it would be. Playing direct out of the balanced out to a pair...

In my experience of listening to plenty of speakers, I agree it's a different experience, but not to such a dramatic degree as some people make it seem. I've listened to tons of high end systems in treated rooms none of which I found to be comparable to the Acoustats that I used to own. I firmly...

Agreed - Martjin those are amazing speakers from everything I've read about them - in a handful of 5 or so speakers that I suspect would be worth the coin. I'm recently transitioning out of owning a pair of speakers for some time - Acoustat X's with modified servo amplifiers, among many other...

I was expecting something electrostatic. That being said, I'd take the NASA system over the Focal Grande system.

I wouldn't be an audiophile if I didn't love music. There is a double edged sword at play which is, that the more analytical I am, the less I enjoy the music -- in the way that I did when I was a child. I think analysis, judgement, critical faculties diminish our ability to empathize . Music is...

I do.
