    Recommandations for TH900 and Bitfrost

    Thank you! You are right, I'm not clear at all. It is an amp that I'm looking for. A clear upgrade from the Gustard. I'd never heard about the Coda Jazz FF, it seems like a very interesting pick, thank you for the advice.

    Recommandations for TH900 and Bitfrost

    Hi all! I have been listen for quite some time with the following rig : Schiit Bitfrost + Gustard upgraded V5 + TH900 MK 2 I'm getting a bit tired of the sound, I feel that it is not "full body" enough. I'm looking for a richer sound, and it seems to me that the Gustard is here in cause, for...

    Thanks for all the replies about amp matching. I'm going to compile it all. Really love the look of the Phonitor 2 and Cayin 1HA-6 ! Next step would be to compare them all against the H10 :-D well, that being impossible, I'm good for some HF thread exploration. The problem I have with my...

    I've bought mine from in-ear.com I received the older one (sonically identical) but with the older connectors and the wood box. After a couple of weeks I noticed a slight rumble in the right ear. I sent it back and after a couple of weeks I received not only a brand new one, but from the latest...

    I was wondering, what would be a nice upgrade from a Gustard H10 for my HE 560 + Bimby. I wanted to go for Eddie Current BW, but it's unavailable. Price limit : 1500€. Nice to have : European distributor. Thanks!

    It seems like the HP8 MKII from Icon Audio works well, anyone tried it ?

    Is there a consensus on which type of tube amps work well with the HE-560 ? And does someone know why sometimes we hear that this or that amp is not good for planars, is there a technical explanation or is it really subjective ?

    Looking for DAC for HE-560 + H10

    Thanks mysticstryk for your recommendation, I read about the bitfrost multibit, and it seems like it's has a terrific bang for the buck ratio.  I don't mind saving a bit to buy a more expensive DAC, but I also want to invest in other equipments, such as op-amps for the H10, perhaps better...

    Hi,  Here is my rig :  HE-560, H10, JDS Lab C5D as DAC (modded to use the analog input as Line-out. Using Tidal.   My problem is that I something find the sound to be too sibilant, so much that I have to EQ the treble -2db to get a acceptable sound on some records. I believe my problem...

    GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier

    Be sure you have the balance switch down, its changes the volume. I had to fiddle around a bit to find the right settings.now I'm +6db always around 12pm, with an HE-560.
