Quote: Yes that's one thing for shure, but on top of that is the lucky combination of musical personality of RPX-35 and warmness of the WA2. Now the T1 has wonderful deep articulated bass and controlled highs, while the middle range is present and perfectly transparent. T1 finally...

After lots of trying and "delusions" these are my findings about powering the T1 by increasing quality order:   T1/Icon HDP : no good, too bright and insufficient power. T1/ Icon HDP DAC/ WA2 : way better, plenty of power and control but sometimes depending on quality recordings still...

Hello everyone,   hope  you find it informative and enjoy it as much as I did writing it. I'd like to make it clear to everyone that mine are only personal opinions as a fan, and that I base my reviews solely in the light of personal experience builded up over the years after...

Mmhh sounds correct and my wallet just walked out the door..thanks for this piece of info I thought that would be the case but now is confirmed ;-)

Just curious to find out what everybody else is doing in this respect. I usually tend to position my volume between 9 and 10 depending on the song and recording quality. I understand that a good headphone should sound good at low volume but in my experience I find myself turning the volume up to...

NuForce Icon HDP it's very hard to beat. It has been driving my cans 'till I got the WA 2 and still use it as a great DAC that it is. 

Thanks a lot for your warm welcome Silent One, and thanks to everyone else who is suggesting me the best way to go with cables. So a good , thick PC power cord is out of question I suppose 

thanks that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Here in Italy there isn't a big market for tube amplifiers, seems like SS is the way to go, so every bit of info I can get is just plenty helpfull. Thanks a lot for this. I'll post shots and impressions as soon as this baby gets home ;-)

Thanks Dubstep I thought so, I was just a bit concerned at the WA 2 not being able to rich some of the Wa 6 Se  energy or punch. You have both ampli, ever tried T1 with Wa 6 SE only? What do you think about that. I do like warm sound but I also like a bit of energy.

wallet said " why are you doing this to me?" ..... WA 2 on the way so I can finally join the club. I asked Jack for the tube combo suggested by Macedonian Hero that I always follow lurking here and there due to very little time at my disposal:     TS5998 Power Tubes - 115 each CV2492...

I keep on wondering how a A\B comparison would end up like. Both ampli seem to score quite good opinions. I got my HDP a couple months ago and all I can say is that this thing sounds really good with my T1. But as usual you always look around and after reading the thread about the HPA V200 I...

nuforce hdp... great dac ampli combo for the price

Well well... after burning in my HDP for about 120 hrs together with my new T1 all I can say is that it has being amazing following the continuous change in sound happening along the burning process. T1 sounds really good with it, low bass got extremely believable and tite, it comes up just...

Ok, got my HDP yesterday. Vaio-W7-WASAPI-HDP-Grado 325i. Music played : Rock (Porcupine Tree - Black sabbath- Deep Purple - Santana) Electronic ( LCD Soundsystem, Air...) Out of the box: highs a bit harsh but very detailed midlles a bit muddy but this is a 325i characteristic (to my ears...

Is it just a very good DAC or the build in "High power discrete headphone output" could drive high imp (600) phones as well ? Does anyone own one?

Would be really interesting having one of those super Skylab reviews on this amp ! Where are you Skylab ? :-))

I was wondering why this apparently superb ampli doesn't seem to raise enough interst in HeadFi. Violectric by Lake People Very few info about it, but in Germany it's considered probably n.1 amp at the moment. It also provides a built in DAC as well (48 kHz / 16 Bit), and the price for this...
