Glad you are enjoying it. If and when you are ready to try another set of tubes, this is the one that is often recommended for this amp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J671QV3/ These have less distortion than the stock tubes, so it does clean up the sound a bit. To me that translates to...- alex50

Recommend a good DAC under $300 used
I would consider moving up the Topping line, a D70 or even a D90. For me, the next step up from the D50s was the RME ADI-2. However, the extra features the unit offers (Parametric Equalizer, etc.) was the driver behind the purchase. They seem to go for around $700 used so it is a bit outside...- alex50

Focal Elear - Impressions Thread
Apologies if this has been covered already. For those that own both, was the Elear a stop-gap purchase until you can purchase the Clear or are they both worth owning? I am curious how often owners upgrade to the Clear after owning the Elear.- alex50

Are there any over-ear headphones that have a good passive sound cancellation?
For what it is worth, the DT770 Pro and the Custom Studio I own have the velour pads. My comments were based on the velour pads. I believe only the non-pro version ships with pleather pads.- alex50

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
I am interested in the Hifiman Arya. I haven't had an opportunity to listen to this yet, but it is on my audition list because of how much I like the Sundara.- alex50

The Schiit Modi 3 is often recommended. As are the Topping models. I like the D50s which includes a nice remote, as well as an excellent Bluetooth 5 implementation.- alex50

I find the isolation of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO to be sufficient. It doesn't completely seal everything off, and a lot of it would depend on how it fits you, but I think that is a decent starting point. I have the 80 ohm version. In the US, they can be had for under $130 new if you keep...- alex50

open back under $400?
Another vote for the HIFIMAN SUNDARA. I have used it with the same modi3/magni3 setup and they sound great to me. It appears to be a good value at the new $349 price, and they do show up on the for sale forums here occasionally as well. Love mine.- alex50

Monoprice Monolith THX 887 - Impressions Thread
Note that while the 789 and 887 are nearly identical in features and price, the SP200 lacks a pass-through output. In addition, there seems to be a number of complaints about the volume control of the SP200. It is however, a bit cheaper in price.- alex50

Monoprice Monolith THX 887 - Impressions Thread
Both devices are known for being transparent, so they shouldn't color the sound. As you know, you can optionally use the PE and tone controls within the ADI-2 to adjust the sound curve to your preference.- alex50

Monoprice Monolith THX 887 - Impressions Thread
I believe the benefit would be the added power to drive difficult to drive headphones that the adi-2 may struggle with. The ADI-2 lacks a balanced amplified output.- alex50
