Nice! Enjoy your new H5 and happy listening. I’m interested to know what your initial impressions are to the Hip DAC 3.

Yes, the TT2 has been in my sights for a while, but then why not just add the M-scaler and if you’re going to get an M-scaler, then why not the Dave? Because you can get so much more out of the M-scaler with the Dave. I was actually looking to go outside of the Chord ecosystem and in the video...

Besides Chord products. Which other DACs can we find Rob Watts’ IP? I like the sound of the Hugo 2, but the device is definitely made for portability, with all of its controls on the top of the device. Having it on a desk is a bit challenging because the ports are on both sides of the device and...

I recall someone else had an issue with noise coming from their unit. Contacting customer service is what they ended up doing.

Oh yeah more more thing. The Bifrost 2/64 and Jot2 combo increase the dynamics of the DCA Aeon2 (planar) and give them something resembling slam, which is not what they are known for. I wonder what the effect would be on Empyreans?

I have a Hugo2 and a a Bifrost 2/64. I find the Bifrost 2/64 a little disappointing as the Hugo 2 has a much wider soundstage and is really good with resolution and separation. I do like the richness and weight that the Bifrost presents which I feel makes things feel a bit more lively and less...

My bad. I was thinking just the dampening on driver side. I forgot about the cups.

The Lawton level 1 package just adds the gray dampening foam and does not require you to remove any dampening from the 900s. I found the tuning to be rather pleasant. It made the sound tighter and less diffuse. I did go back to the stock pads though for the elevated bass response, though. But I...

I find that I like it quite a bit. I was playing around with the pair today and compared it against a Jotenheim 2. I found that the TA-22 vs the Jot 2 when both are hooked up to a Bifrost 2/64, the TA-22 was very comparable to the Jot2 I did notice that there was slightly more depth with the...

What you are pointing out is max output. The gain setting and volume knob reduce said power output to user defined levels.

Absolutely! You don't notice the noise floor unless you are wearing IEMs and only when there is a period of silence or if there is a very quiet section like in symphonic music. Generally, I feel that it's a great system and I've been really happy with it. I like the fun factor and engaging sound...

Yes, I found that it was only with IEMs that I noticed the hum of a slightly higher noise floor. I think I noticed it with Sony IER-Z1R, UM MEST Mk I, and 64 Audio U12t. I also found that the noise level was lower on the balanced output than it was on the 6.35mm single ended out put.

Nothing really jumps out at me, but if you want to go cheaper, I think there might be a TA-22 in the classified section. I like my unit, but I just wish the the noise floor was lower so that I could use IEMs with it. But that aside, it’s a solid choice. It’s a fun sound that is a bit smooth...
