    xDuoo TA-22 DAC/Tube Amp Now on Apos Audio

    Exactly! I agree! To tell yo the truth, I don't think either of those will give you a better sound. I used JJ and the sound in my opionion got worse. The tubes on it match very well with the circuit. I did not try NOS though... Let me know your experience. Regards!

    xDuoo TA-22 DAC/Tube Amp Now on Apos Audio

    The TA-22 has an input for the 4.4mm balanced in the back, but it won't use its DAC in this case. I would not recommend this coneection! Regards!

    xDuoo TA-22 DAC/Tube Amp Now on Apos Audio

    Ok, you have options then. If you want to use de ESS DAC on the Xduoo, which I definitely recommend, I'd use a good USB C to USB B cable. You have lots of options. I have used Audioquest with good results, but you can get much cheaper and good cables too. Now, if you want to use the DAC on the...

    xDuoo TA-22 DAC/Tube Amp Now on Apos Audio

    Hi there! You raise some interesting questions... If you are using Tidal on your DAP bit perfect from the app, which I think is the case, you might get worse sound using the TA 22 via Bluetooth, depending on the CODEC you connect it with. On the other hand, if you connect your DAP via USB cable...

    Yes. I was looking for recommendations for better tubes. Do you think JJ tubes or Electro Harmonix 12AU7 will improve the sound?

    Last one, although the headphone amp on the MF DAC is pretty darn good! But the 22 has the added tube magic!

    Got you! Enjoy the RME! I'm using the Musical Fidelity M6S DAC with the TA-22 and the sound is stupendous! Regards!

    xDuoo TA-22 DAC/Tube Amp Now on Apos Audio

    Hi there, did you get to test the new tubes? I am between your tungsols and the gold lions... Only have the budget for one pair... Any suggestion? Regards! PS: I am amazed so few people talk about this little and heavy little amp. To me, it's a masterpiece!!!

    @Eseales59 , cannot tell you exactly. I have experience with de Grado, but my testing was with the Elex and HD800S. I think you might enjoy it. I don't find the TA-22 lacking at all in bite and speed with these phones! And remember, you can always tube roll!

    About the tube rolling on the TA-22, really I did not find major differences. I like the stock tubes best for now. I tried the CV4003 and a pair of Sylvania 1969. The Mullard did affect a little bit the high frequencies, making the sound a little smoother. But I missed some of the bite of the...

    So far, stock tubes. I'll try some old CV4003 tonight to see if I hear any difference.

    They better! This is not a cheap device. I absolutely adore my M11 Pro and so far no issues. I recently updated the firmware and it sort of feels slower to me. But not significantly so. Hope you solve the issue soon!

    Fiio M11 Pro $600 is coming - Will you Purchase it ?

    Usually the coax is the better signal, but you're aware that your receiver will work as the DAC, correct? To use the M11 DAC I cannot envision any other possibility other than RCA.

    To a headphone amp? I don't think you can use either. You'll have to use the line out of the M11p, which means, depending on your amp, RCAs....

    No, not mine, sorry. I just found it online searching for M11 Pro. Ordered mine last week but it will take a month to get to me in Brazil!
