The TT2 have more than sufficient power, especially if using XLR out, compared to the AHB2 it is smoother and silkier while the AHB2 is a little better in the dynamics and slightly tighter and a bit more prominent bottom end, I have settled on the HMS + TT2 as my daily drive for the Susvaras and...

On a diiferent note than the endless amp dac pairing, no offense, but could anyone pitch in on a comparison between Yamaha YH-5000SE VS Susvara, are they a contender, anyone who have listened to them side by side?

Hell I am tempted if I did not have the TT2/HMS.....

Kind or answers most my questions.....

Regarding LPS VS SMPS... Why is this still a discussion? https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/152143111-audio-myth-switching-power-supplies-are-noisy?_pos=2&_sid=0b987bc49&_ss=r

Hi Rob, thank you firstly for beeing active on this forum, think I speak for everyone that this is much appreciated, So if I understand correctly no additional benefit for the TT2 to have a powerbank compared to the SMPS that it comes with and only the Mscaler benefit with a powerbank? 2. And...

No, not warmer than when using my Susvara XLr out, just warm to the touch nothing more than that...

So far a happy camper using XLR out with Susvara, SE out with the Stealth or Kef LS50 and all good....

Oh no, Rob did not recommend, he actually thought that the Kef's would be to hard to drive, though he said never to use XLR out for passive speakers and to only use SE or RCA, please fact check if you like, its here on head fi, you can search on my previous discussion's or on the Rob Watts...

Please dont use TT2 with passive speakers through XLR, use RCA or the front SE , guidelines direct from Rob Watts, I use same with my KEF LS50 gen 1(passive) via SE and it sounds fantastic in my small office 14m2.

YES, Fully agree...I do love it despite its UI shortcomings etc, keeper for sure...

Love the AK 120 there...still have mine and use while travelling, its a keeper.

Yes, fantastic on both Stealth and Susvara but i was also surprised how well the airpods pro 2 sound with this! (maybe a tad bass emphasized and not top clarity...but what a heck), Just imagine where we will be in 20 years of headphone and music production progress....hope to be alive to...

I have and do use the HE-Adapter when connected to my AHB2, never noticed any sound degradation at all, in fact it was if it was not even there, this with both with Susvara's and Stealth, no difference. I was actually wondering what it actually does and how it would protect the HP's but as it...

Don't use XLR for Speakers, Rob Watts told me not to, I use with great success a pair of Kef LS50 gen 1 which are hard to drive but they sound excellent with the TT2 (small office though abt 14m2), I use the SE output for the speakers with an adapter, you can also use the RCA if you like too...

Well soon enough there will be a Chord Strain called "Big Cheese Chord Widow" or in the wine industry a "Rioja Chord Grand Reserve 2010" ultimately adding that extra audiophile feel to the sound......

So you saying I can get off the grid with my G1, TT2/HMS? then how so? ready to go all in ( into the woods, add solar panels)

Christer, please keep your spirit up, from a Swede to another! I paid 2000 Euro in Electricity for December so lets so lets mourn and have Glögg and lets overcome... Give me an option of a Chi Fi product that could rival a TT2/HMS combo whatever ASR is ranting, and I will be there to listen to...

Agree with you, I would not buy it either based on ASR review, but there is more to it than pure measurements. I previously loved ASR and what they do/did but after a while realized that as mentioned listening is also part of the equation, and also lets think about it, a Topping DAC which costs...

+1...cant be more wrong....seriously!

I was listening to the TT2/HMS combo for a year with only max upsampling and then I accidentally without knowing it had set the HMS to bypass on the upsampling and I was going mad thinking something was wrong with Roon or my streamer until I realized the upsampling was off, it is a subtle but...

Anyone knows of an equivalent for the EU market? intend to power both the TT2 and the HMS with a powerbank or 2 if required but would be nice if it had 2 x outputs...?

This one will work as well... https://www.hifiman.com/products/detail/84

Thanks for clarifying, is this connected on the board, same as on the Hugo 2, meaning 6.35mm HP Jack is same as the RCA? Thinking of which adapter to the speaker cable I should look into getting...or making(DIY)?

Thanks, its for my office and its abt 8m2 so not very small, just an idea since I sit there and work everyday and my TT2/HMS/Aries G1 with the Susvara/Stealth is in the corner so I thought I could try and hook it up to my old Kef's
