Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??
Yeah, thought Odyssey was a little better when it comes to classical music for my ears... For Vocal music with Ultimate, the vocal seems to be close to you, yet this amp is not a mid-forward amp like some... Odyssey, for my ears, was a little more refined in its sound.. but then again it is...- xtiva

Cayin iHA-6 - US Tour and reviews
i have had issues with hum/hiss with the amp but it was due to stacking the amp. Initially had AMP under DAC, D70s, and that create so much hum but then I changed it to sit on top of the DAC, no more hum from the device.... looks like the device can a little susceptible to noise... so try...- xtiva

Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??
it was strange and had to listen to amps multiple times to confirm but both had the same tonality. However, as for the soundstage, the bigger chassis seemed to have a little more open presentation... Not sure if the bigger chassis made a difference but they indeed have a difference in its...- xtiva

HiFiMan Susvara
Didn't think that would be the case but you guys are spot on.. at least for my ears. When I was driving Susvara using Phonitor X & SET KT77 tube amp, Susvara was OK but I still preferred my old HD800 and HD800S over it but the table has turned since acquiring Enleum AMP23R HD800/S benefitted...- xtiva

Yap same here... have been playing with a few RPi based streaming OS and found Moode to sound slightly better than Roon but it is the UI and feature that no other streaming OS can do better than Roon.. Library management is far better than any other streaming OS IMHO :) I only have about 30K...- xtiva

SMSL D400EX & D400ES - Impressions Thread
For Muscian or Denafrips, I avoid them... sound quality is one thing but the fact that you cannot connect both RCA & XRL at same time, makes it very limiting... if you will only use one output or dont mind changing output manually, Draco or Denafrips Ares might be a good choice...- xtiva
