Violectric HPA V280 - balanced headphone amp - impressions and discussion thread
Thanks for your recommendation. v280 drives my HD600 so well. I just spend this morning AB HD 600 and Arya on v 280. HD 600 is winning. This lead me to question if I need a better amp for planner.- Listenisb

Violectric HPA V280 - balanced headphone amp - impressions and discussion thread
I have a pair of LCD XC. It sound ok with v280. v280 seems to pair trim the lashness/brightness of LCD XC. Power is not an issue with this pairing.- Listenisb

Violectric HPA V280 - balanced headphone amp - impressions and discussion thread
Sorry, I'not good with technical terms and description of the sound difference. I will try, compares to idac6-iha6 combo it's less punchy also the sound stage is shrinked on horizonally but more depth on v280. I feel like v280 is slower with more detail and much better control compare to...- Listenisb

Violectric HPA V280 - balanced headphone amp - impressions and discussion thread
Had my v280 for a month. It pairs really well with HD600 T1-gen 1 but I'm not happy with the sound with Arya and LCD-XC. It's a warm sound which I do prefer but I feel like v280 only drives 60-70% of Arya's potential. I guess v280/v281 is not really for plannar. I also prefer -12 over 0 gain...- Listenisb

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
I still have Arya and used to own SP200 and many other mid range amps. Arya is power hungury and sound dull with less power amp. It also sound too bright with amp like sp200 or iha6. iha-6 with idac6 drive Arya much better compare to iha-6 on itself feeding by a dac. I guess the tube output...- Listenisb

Topping DX7 - DAC and balanced headphone amplifier
It's been like that for me for past couple months. USB connection is not stable with my PC for some reasons. Sample rate locks itself which result no sound from Tidal and the track is playing at the same time. Only way around is to disconnect USB cable and restart the unit. It's a pain to do for...- Listenisb

Violectric HPA V280 - balanced headphone amp - impressions and discussion thread
Good to know it sounds great with Arya. Do you have a DAC in mind or used before that matches the slightly warm sound of v 280? I'm using Topping D7s right now but somehow I prefer the sound from my AK Kann more compare to Topping. Topping uses two 9038q2m and Kann has single 4490.- Listenisb

Violectric HPA V280 - balanced headphone amp - impressions and discussion thread
I was talking Focal Elex not Fostex. Elex sounds great on Aune S7 pro and Arya can be better or only few improvement compare to my other amps I owned like smsl sp200. I actually have a pair of Fostex th610 and I don't think it's a good pairing with Aune. I didn't like it when I had x7s. ISorry I...- Listenisb

Reply to review by 'Listenisb' on item 'Aune S7 Pro'
How does it compare to SMSL SP200 in terms of SQ and capbility? I'm considering upgrading to a balance amp from SMSL SP200 to pair with Topping Dx7s and Hifiman Arya and Focal Elex. I currently have X7S at office room and like it quite a bit but I don't think they are driving Arya properly. Thanks!- Listenisb

Topping DX7 - DAC and balanced headphone amplifier
I'm experiencing the same issue. It will stop working out of sudden and sample rate will fix/freeze. Only way to make it work is to power off and reconnect usb. Did you find a solution to it? Optical is fine. Thanks- Listenisb

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
Thanks for your input. I'm driving Arya with topping dx7s and SMSL sp200 for desktop setup. I quite like it probably because I never really experience any higher end dac/amp. I need a portable solution to use Arya between rooms and deck.- Listenisb
