NpAudio has been around for years. Dont think there are better niche modders like Steve is.

I Would recommend you on both 14 and 16. Unless you enjoy 1A as well then maybe the 15 but the 15 is a very specific beast that it is very very neutral (not everyone cup of tea) The amp15 is a standard though....it means "gotta catch them all" atm 🤣. Sorry, cant help

Havent heard GT2 RS8 M9, but if I based it off the WM 1Z M2, the 340 specifically in digital glares comparison and graininess, it is above the 1ZM2. Occasionally, it can even triumps the DMP Z1, but on a very specific instances. I am merely talking about it DAC and the ability to convey...

Everything has digital glares to me, just more or less so, but both the D16 and 340 do not

For me, it would be PB5 :)! It is a little too insane of the amp. The Korg tubes has it own batteries and easily swapable battery. Barely heat up even when wrapped in the blanket

Probably does if they put in simcard 🤣

Agreed! Dx340 is about body temperatures or couple more degree. That is nothing at all imo

They are both equally enjoyable to me. Each one has it own pros and cons

I have had SP3K, and just like you, I tried to love it, but it didnt and couldnt satisfy me VS Ibasso Dx300 and DX300Max. The DX340 is ways beyond Sonic performances is a personal preferences things. I have found mine, you just need to find your. What is best for me, should not be the best...

Nvm, he meant the other amps securing mechanisms and not screws. I rather love the screws as a features. What would you do if the snaps in braces or such ...got broken or snapped off ?

If Dx340 can outperform DMP Z1 (in some areas), you are surprised that it can outperform SP3K and or R8 ? Just a reminder that DMP Z1 is the pinnacle of Sony transportable devices that is batteries operated, with DC in for desktop mode. The first transportable that is MSRP at $8500 usd and an...

That is common for PWM digital attenuations, you can ask Walkman M1 and M2 people and confirm it ;) even on 1Z. At least dx340 is not as loud or as pronounced Amp16 has analog electrical attenuations

I am super interested into this product as well. I wonder if it will also support modular designs lile MSB modulars. Including PSU, DAC, or Preamp, Amp But it may be asking too much 🤣 For now, enjoying 340 and the stack is good enough

Small screws like what is used on the 340 is very very hard to extract once stripped. Never strip them! They are small but sturdy, unless you forcefully stripping them by usibg larger screwdrivers and keep on turning. Amp16 comes with a screw driver that is foolproofed as a package Can they...

In both AB and tube vs the 15. The more addictive one would be tubes mode. The back plate needed some modification to open up a window for the tubes to shine through. The picture was exaggerating. In reality, the shines is very shy when it is inside the leather case :)
