Yes anything that adds that extra grunt. I am back to being single ended again. The Anni has plenty of headroom though ....

Evertime time I get to improve my chain especially the Amplification the Ether 2s scale accordingly... I am running the Anni Head Amp....just Added a Farad Super 3 with a custom cable. The difference is phenomenal but Ether just eats it up..... People expect better with the next headphone to do...

All, I’d watched the Dave MOD by Sean Jacobs and later saw Farad do their version a lot cheaper... I asked before Christmas if Mattijs could do a custom supply for Anni. I assumed the supply was +- 15v symmetrical... Checking its not. A standard Farad super3 would work. Lots of Emails and...

Sorry my friend, I only got a taste when trying the Qutest Anni at the store with my DCA ETHER 2s and asked the owner to try the EMPYREAN for a short while. It sounded about 10% better... cleaner detailed... I definitely recommend the SRC-DX DDC regardless as a big boost. But you can only decide...

Tuned chain, power mods and bypassing my Qutest with a DDC SRC-DX....Before a Singxer SA1 now the Anni by Chord. No comparison..... Well worth a trial... I keep saying this on this thread...There's still a lot of headroom in the Ether 2 but Amplification is the real bottle neck. Both my both...

Ah sorry no just a stock photo i am afraid. Currently and for the foreseeable future DCA Mr Speakers Ether 2 and its predecessor The Ether. I went from the Singxer SA1 as my last Amp. At less than half the price. With the swap out there is no comparison just lovely everywhere. Ignore the big...

I'd still love to hear more about comparisons to its price competitor's and above out of interest. Its a step above my older amps by quite a Margin and would hope so for the price 🙂. Still very pleased with it and no urge to find something better.... yet...😎

For the speakers out only..... and I am wounded beyond belief my Qutest just stopped working out of warranty just as I hit 200 hours on Anni... turns on no sound eek Hopefully repairable.... 3-4 days seemed plenty to stabilise my anni... but let us know that you think on your set up.... I...

I preferred my uptone LPS for my Qutest with my DXP-1A5DSC... and I stripped down my Qutest and EMC absorbing tape covered it.... Anni has a 3 year warranty so can touch it yet....

You can use linear or switching but it's the dual output +-... 15v 6A... not a plug in DC barrel.... this is a 4 pin din connector.... So yes you can have a great big toroidal but you need that +- output supply at that range of Amps volts and quieter than the switcher and the correct make of...

Dual power so you can't use a standard linear.. 4 pin din socket.... someone may make one... someday...

I have a huge convoluted mish mash of kit from over the years experimenting. I am streaming on a highly cut down Windows10 Spotify on a low latency NUC EMI EMC modded With 12v Sbooster Apacer Ram and 4 Isliencers in spare ports...I found this better than expensive shop streamers and tidal...

I put in a ticket as I cant register the Anni as there is no Anni in the products list.. But asked about the A-AB class.... for you..

Sorry missed the Question Yes Ether 2s They have lovely mids and why I chose it for the Qutest. With the Anni vocals are really superb, just in a different league. With the Q profile I think it adds more so... I got the E2S £1100 and DCA fitted new drivers... TT Mscalers Daves must benefit from...

@musickid Got this so I can use my old nice cable.. £4 Amazon

I wasn't sure the first night or so but it seemed to me to really open to a different beast....as I said someone with Heavy hitting amps need to compare the Anni.. it much more than I've had before in every regard... It's just suprising every song in my collection being re listened too..... I...

I am so suprised how small the TT and Mscaler are. I'd never seen them and thought they'd be near the Dave.. Then I saw the DCS Bartok.. you can move in a small family and still room for pets and small car...its huge...

The Qutest. This amount of money to most of us is a lot. I was twitching buying the Singxer SA1. I modded the amp for more transparency, this is a touch wider much cleaner. Vocals really nice bass deeper top end more crystal. How that plays out on focals sens hifimans not sure... I just give...

There is definitely a break in period....so I've bought an alarm in case anyone steals it..... So far I am enjoying my new DAC and headphones I've owned for the last 2 years..... So far better than what I had....not hot using my 16ohm Ether 2s anyway... a touch warm on the right side... less...

Just got one, not bad at all, a step above my Singxer Sa1 out the box. Not 2 hours on it yet.. more details later this week... shout out to Hifonix in Birmingham UK. Every dream piece of kit you can think of..... Mese Elites sound really nice... 2 hours listening to the Anni wishing I could win...

If its good it's good 👍 Hopefully what hifi's understated review of the head amp is true

Dekoni pads made my older Ethers like a luxury 5 star bed in a top hotel.....

https://reviewary.com/chord-electronics-anni-review/ It doesn't say how good the HA section is... The what HIFI mentioned its better but nothing to compare it to.... I've been googling everyday but news is still scarce...... I've got the modified Singxer SA1 fed by the Qutest ATM but it really...

No the weight of the unit will allow you to easily remove the six screws and be stable...I suggested use tweezers to for the small 2.54 jumpers near the case wall as its a tight fit and makes it easier. My uncle has the same issue, I wish I was a dextrous as he is.. Eyebrow tweezers worked...
