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.- nicoragua

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.

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...- nicoragua

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...- nicoragua

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!- nicoragua

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 ?- nicoragua

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...- nicoragua
