Low level amps are actually impressive and I share the view re use; having a Nagra 300i and a first watt j2; both having 10-20w. They sound very well also loud with the likes as a Burmester small l/s or a bw 804 I am really contemplating buying one of these Schiit amps…

When will d6000 come? Any ideas?

I did not listen too long to Supermoon but superficially they are similar. Re Amt they are technically (physical principe) quite near to planars hence I would qualify them similar from a technical point of view

My Order currently (as as use) - final a8000 - Obravo eamt 1/2c - Obravo clio - CA Andromeda - CA Solaris - Shure ksa 1500 - others In terms of quality 1. Obravo eamt‘s ; a8000 and kse 1500 2. The two CA 3. far less good everything else Bigger picture incl big headphones 1. Stax SR 007/9 2...

You should try one of the obravo AMTs is Eamt1/2c or clio. They are a tad warmer but equally impressive, re Campire they are good, but none of the BAs neither Solaris have the resolution of A8000 or the obravos. The miss microstructure. An other one which you might want to heas is CA supermoon...

Just got the a8000 as a complement to Obravo eamt1/2 or Clio. All of them very good. I am using eamt2c daily but I wanted something different (excellent, but not necessarily better) …

What I really like with the bravo’s is the Heil amt driver which has excellent resolution and speed, almost like an electrostatic but less onerous in terms of bespoken amps. You can btw see this also with Loudspeakers - I have a Burmesyer 022 which excels in the same dimenso

I had Cupid and Solaris also. Your statement is in my view correct. The Cupid is a league up similar to the sure 1200 or the lcd i4. As a consequence Solaris is mostly in the drawer :). Did you hear super moon - they are closer; I prefer however clio

Given there is no review out yet, I have decided to provide a short one here: Disclaimer: I listen only to classical music and opera, hence… 1) Set Up - AK 1000 and AK SE 180 - Balanced outs if available - Music: Flac 44/16 and 96/24 2) Comparators - Clio - EAMT 2c - D8000 3) Listening 3.1...

Much better in various dimensions a) Did not break in parts :( b) Rather more transparent c) As a form factor - much easier to wear d) I did not extensive testing between my tools but overall I have a lot of headpones, but use the following by order of use a) obravo eamt2 b) obravo clio c)...

I bought it from Phil and I am most happy, it sounds almost as good as the Eamt 1and 2c’s but for a much lower price and a more common form factor. Very well done!

See my Just before -Quote differEnde. Ie se200 materially better

I had a mishap - may dcs Rossini is in repair and I compared ak 1000 vs se200 with passlabs xa30.8 and Wilson Sabrina. The difference between the two dacs is material to such a degree, which I could not appreciate before. When listening vs Rossini 1000m was materially worse. Still good, but not...

I can only speak about the bravo - you should listen to it and decide yourself - independent on c's view. I have made up my decision, see below

0) Apogee Scintilla: How good a loudspeaker can sound - 1990‘ 1) Jecklin Float- how well an electrostatic Headphone can sound. 2) B&O Beolab 9: How well a fully digital designer LS can sound - very near to 0) but no hastle 3) Pass xa30-8: how impressive a „meagre“ class A can sound: for...

Final D8000 w A&K SE 200 Or Obravo eamt 2c

From a sound perspective the SR9s - however a lot of hustle with the amping. Given I am travelling often between Zurich, London and the mountains in Switzerland I am ending up using D8000 or Obravo eamt 1/2 most often, as a matter of trade off. As a side - I could get a second new D8000 for...

Interesting - I have heard both and own d8000 plus sr009s, lcd 4. In my view there is no mileage gained owning the lcd5. Sound signature wise d8000 is very close to lcd5. For +20% price the latter is too expensive and not close enough to the starx sr009s coating effectively the same. I think...

Yes it is, never had any problem w Solaris or also Andromeda

Did factory reset and this did not change the behavior, just restarting it helped. I guess what is happening is that wrong parameters are sent to the dac chip and in some strange way it switches to mono, ie canceling out high frequencies as a consequence. First I though impressive the impact of...

Obviously annoying same for se200

I actually goes to mono - nothing else…

Horses gmfir courses - I like the Dap more, like an a&k. However I use Audeze i4 with cyber cable from time to time w iphone - with onkyo player

yes, because the Rossini is in my Flat in London where I am say 3-4 months a year. but clearly the Rossini is much better - on the other hand not very transportable, if I am in London I use the Rossini-Passlabs-Sabria combo really a lot
