    Comment by 'Tex Irie' on listing 'TEAC UD-505 (AKM4497)'

    IYKYK! I almost made the mistake of selling mine. This is a fantastic DAC/Amp on its own but, I found excellent synergy with the Violectric HPA V222. Then I bought my Cayin HA-3A and paired it with the TEAC UD-505. I proceeded to have a spiritual experience listening to Roy Ayers. The TEAC...

    Comment by 'Tex Irie' on listing 'Audeze iSine LCDi series ear hooks'

    These hooks are legit. They are malleable, hug the ear closely, and create a better seal for the LCD-i series IEMs. Thank you @bradyc100!

    Xduoo XD05T "Portable" Dac + Tube Amp

    Thank you! I've yet to try them together. I just received the XD05T about 3 weeks ago. I'm still getting familiar with its sound characteristics and functionality.

    Xduoo XD05T "Portable" Dac + Tube Amp

    For My tastes The XDuoo XD05Tand Questyle CMA18 Portable with most of my IEMs in my signature ( Westone W60 may be the lone exception I only use it wirelessly). The Fiio BTR17 does an admirable job but excels with warm leaning IEMs the BTR17 is good enough to be in daily rotation but it's not a...

    Xduoo XD05T "Portable" Dac + Tube Amp

    You're welcome @cfranchi! I don't. I think those devices have their own immutable characteristics that make them complementary. They serve different purposes for me. I think your question would need to be more nuanced if you're looking for a specific data point or detail.

    Well @Gavin C4 How does it sound? Also What IEM is that with the heavy bokeh effect on it?

    Xduoo XD05T "Portable" Dac + Tube Amp

    It's a dope little device, aesthetics be damned. Not even hyping this... It's awesome to me. I'm not a tube expert by any means just a music enthusiast that knows what sounds good to me. Green for the money....

    Comment by 'Tex Irie' in item 'Jomo Audio Nautilus'

    It never hurts to have a handful of sources. I have some IEMs that I had no idea what they were truly capable of until you accidentally stumble on that magical one that has undeniable synergy. This happens at random price points. Some times it's a sub $200 dongle. Sometimes it's some gear that...

    Try it with the XDuoo XD05T, iFi Go Bar Kensei, or iDSD Signature Finale. It's there if you like pressure and the subs going wooom wooom..

    Xduoo XD05T "Portable" Dac + Tube Amp

    I'm legitimately surprised more Head-Fiers haven't picked up the XD05T. For my tastes I am really enjoying the device and currently digging the Sony IER-Z1R paired with the XD05T set to Filter 1 and medium gain.
