Yes thanks for the impressions givemetacos

I would love to hear a comparison with the Aeon Flow Open.

Mine was in with the USB cable - it is nice, although tight to fit.

Eager to hear comparison of Vega and Lyra/Lyra II.   I have the Lyra and to me it hits hard with good detail so wondering how big the step is to Vega.

My Andromeda arrived yesterday - very happy with these. Very good bass, nice detail and great soundstage. I am using the large spiral dots which fit me very well - no issues with getting a perfect seal. The new cable is an improvement over the Jupiter's.

My GO1000 has no noise with my JH16s.

Quote: I am on rev1 - sn 5312283. My graph is almost identical to KevinWolff's - except from 10 to 1k Hz they run flat at ~ 92dB.   I am very happy with mine - but will be interested in the comparisons of rev1 and rev2.  

Quote:  I agree - enjoying my SA version very much. Any reasons given for it being dropped?

I just picked up at Audio-GD Ref 5 and ROC SA which I am running my D7000's from balanced. Very happy, lots of detail and very musical with great impact.   The ROC SA has lots of power so should run the LCD-2 well, although I have not seen any actual reviews of the pairing.

I am looking to purchase the ROC SA to go with the Ref 5 DSP and am trying to find out if the amp hisses with iems - or more specifically JH16's.   I have portable amps I use with the 16's (Pico Slim & RSA Protector) but would also like to use them with my main desktop amp.   I would run...

  I am trying to find out if the ROC SA has any hiss with iems - from what I read the ROC is silent but I asked Kingwa about the SA and he said :   The ROC SA has quite low noise, we use the D5000, low than 3 o'clock there is no noise.   More than 3 o'clock only can hear very...

Roc SA comes with a H/L gain switch (+13/+7 db) which Kingwa has now said can be used in low for finer adjustment of the volume.

Quote: I was assuming Kingwa does not see this as an issue for his musical components since he designs them this way.

Any further comment on the difference between these too amps - I want to get one and am leaning towards the SA as I listen to mainly modern music based on my mac in lossless form.   I am worried about the extra power in the SA and whether it will be too much for my headphones -  D7000...

Thanks for that answer regal

Quote: So the ref 5 does not? Would this make a real difference?

Another very useful review Skylab.   So what is balanced ground topology - is the stepdance a balanced amp or is it still SE?
