From SoundNews: When Hifiman Susvara hopped on my head, I already knew what’s going to follow, as for about a week I’m listening to this exact configuration. When it comes to solid-state amplifiers, AMP-23R made a perfect match with Susvara, improving everything I love about them. AMP-23R was...

Here's an interesting read on why apodization is the better choice: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/mqa-time-domain-accuracy-digital-audio-quality (ignore the MQA stuff) This is the filtering and noise shaping response of the Tambaqui and there's a legit good reason why B.Putzeys chose...

I didn't end up going with the Red, because using an input such as e.g. I2S does not change how the MMT operates. I spoke to Jos from Mola Mola and he told me even I2S data goes through the Async. Sample Rate Converter, in the same way that SPIDF data does. I2S with MMT does not operate in the...

Whats wrong with the streamer? There was no audible difference between inputs in my experience. Roon RAAT works incredibly well.

*Sigh* sounds like an advert. Should I buy this cable that makes .1% difference at best, or should I just get a whole Mod House Tungsten DS (for cheaper). So many options...

Yeah, it is way too expensive tbh. I'd try a Pass Labs XA25 if the AMP-23R can't quite push the required power. https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/pass-labs-xa-25-3rd-opinion/

There's always the AMP-54R!

It measured less than 11pF/m cond-cond? The price difference between a WBC Mogami W2549 and the Red River is still quite large.

Mogami 2549 is literally the best interconnect you could get. It has the lowest capacitance, or RLC spec of any interconnect cable out there, especially botique cables Please don't tell me you went to Cardas who wrongly & intentionally stated that Mogami is the bottleneck, so they could sell...

Glad you liked it! Did you end up purchasing one? What was the serial# of the demo unit?

Capacitance doesn't mean anything unless you put it in the context of the design. The new section could be running at higher voltages thus lower cap required, those caps could have better specifications such as ESR.

Unfortunately so, but then again no comparison was made between V2 and V3. The review for V2 was actually a translation from a German website and is an entirely different reviewer. The main reviewer just had the V1 which then became V3. I suggest demoing a V3 and see how it is, and whether...

Yes, seems like they just used the V2 model as the pic. They probably couldn't get a pic of the V3 open.

The only place where this is described is 6moons. V1: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/enleum-amp-23r/ V2: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/enleum-amp-23r-redux-2/ V3: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/enleum-amp-23-redux/ In terms of differences, you can see the left/right...

Updated the AMP-23R versions list too https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-new-enleum-amp-23r-amplifier-successor-to-bakoon-amp-13r-thread.960930/page-88#post-17403654

Need to back track on this because it's completely false and I need to ask where you imagined this up? The AMP-23R measures perfectly flat in FR across the audio band, and beyond 100kHz (to 1MHz for the current-mode input buffer). There is nothing "objective", "verifiable" or "irrefutable" about...

If you're AU or NZ based, Passion for Sound is selling his Cen Grande review unit if you're interested.

So, the May doesn't actually have any filters at all unless you engage those Cirus Logic min phase digital filters (no one uses those).

The 660S2 is great, but I've only got less than an hour worth of experience with it at shows, though in my demo didn't see it as being better than my 650 which has been my go-to workhorse for the past 12 years. The 650, as it is with the Utopia, I also find it to be more enjoyable out of the...

The slow roll-off filter is better for eliminating Gibbs phenomenon at the cut-off point (pass band ripple) and maybe better for high frequency extension. The shorter filter is also fast allowing the Tambaqui to have a perfect impulse response. On top of that, the DAC itself is a FIR Moving...

Hi all, No introduction required - one of the best Headphone amplifiers and pre-amp anyone could buy. Unit has been owned for only 5 months and is in mint condition. Located in Melbourne, Australia; shipping is not included. Please PM me to get an estimate. - Class A Bias - 12W @ 32 ohm - 3...

Yeah, he does cater very much to the old gen, cashed up, retired, insane audiophiles out there. His "low" price con was for the perspective of both that demographic and the manufacturers and dealers, not for the average audiophile (for which it is expensive as hell). But I do like hearing his...

I use the Tambaqui with Roon (+Tidal) direct and honestly, no other input betters Roon RAAT (via Ethernet or USB).

He literally listed too low a price as a con. What!!

Insanity-fi super hard to impress guy Jays Audio Lab reviews the MMT... Spoiler: High Praises
