    FiiO Q7 Portable Desktop-Class DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Same use case as who ever needs poly or 2go. I'd like to bring an portable amp with me to any floor and control roon playback through my phone. That's it.

    FiiO Q7 Portable Desktop-Class DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Really hope there is a wifi+roon ready version. Pricewise Q7 will be very competitive with room ready, vs. mojo 2+poly or hugo 2+2go.

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    I wish there is such a DAP, too. I doubt about that possibility though. I even think sometimes details are against emotion, cause they can be overwhelmingly distracting. Someone who tried the SS part of n8ii can probably tell whether it's achievable with all the different modes in n8ii.

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    Technicalities are better than the original. Less roll-off in both ends. Wider stage that opens EE Odin up. Details improved for sure. Still a fun sounding one with a little of the warmth left. I spent all my time with iems and tubes on, so I'm not sure about the solid state and power...

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    It sounds awesome. More like an all rounder than the n8. I enjoy vocals the most from the warmth of original n8. Acoustic now benefits from the n8ii tubes and a wider stage.
