Hi all, just picked up an Sp2000t for myself recently. Everything has been pretty spot on, but have been getting a pretty laggy ui, and a colleague of mine who had a go on the player also found his sacd collection off a micro sd card stutters a bit. Has anyone had similar issues or have figured...

How do the find the susvaras + your tt2 pairing, only just a little tempted 😅

By bigger headroom do you mean soundstage or just more power in general? Pretty new to the hobby so get a bit confused when it comes to terminology :upside_down:.

In a similar position myself looking for a tube amp around this price bracket. Recently had the opportunity to demo the HA2-SF, using my Empyreans paired with the DAC from the iFi Micro Black Label. Here are some of my rough thoughts (keep in mind that this was in a store with quite a few...

Being sensitive to treble myself, after swapping to the TT2 from the iFi micro BL, I did notice slight fatigue after listening for a while. The BL smoothed over these peaks and made them a lot less noticeable, the TT2 being as revealing as it is brings basically everything out, that being said...

I think one of the main benefits of the auris over the euforia for me right now is the fact that we have dealers here in Hong Kong that stock them, so I can actually audition the unit, whereas I can't with the euforia. And plus since I will only be running my empyreans with them, power shouldn't...

Great review! I have had my eyes on this unit, especially since a demo unit arrived at my local dealer. Will definitely have to go and give it a try after reading this! Was just wondering if you had a chance to compare it to the Euforia, right now these 2 are the top contenders for my next amp.

Do you have any experience with their Gjallarhorn? Been looking into that as an option for a closed back.

Definitely wouldn't mind a closed back version, have been looking for a closed back for the office, but nothing really quite tickles my fancy like the empys do. And espesially given how well they can be driven with mobile gear, if they sound anything like the current empys do, consider me sold 😁

The amp itself was well put together, with all the knobs and switches feeling pretty good. With all the available tuning options available, and the fact that it could also be used as a preamp, I can see how this would make a pretty flexible unit for some, I do intend to add a set of speakers at...

Have also been looking for a tube amp to go into my chain, read so many good things on the Euforia, shame I can't seem to find a place to audition the unit here in Hong Kong, slightly hesitant to blow a massive wad of money on something I can only go on reviews by. :slight_frown: The only few...

I found this post when trying to set up HQPlayer. Was also curious about the differences, haven't actually auditioned the Mscaler yet so I can't comment on what the post says, but the setup section really helped with deciding what options to go for...

I definitely agree. That being said, one of the main reasons why I picked the Empyreans other than how amazing it sounded, is that the design was just so extraordinarily well thought out. As good as some of the other headphones on the market sound, I just don't think I could bring myself to pay...

Now you've got me all excited 😁

Good to know, will definitely have to go audition them! How do they do in terms of soundstage, and how do you find the isolation, my office is open plan so as background noise goes it's in large supply, will this be an issue?

Just wondering, how do the Sonys compare to the empyreans? Looking for a closed back with a similar signature to the empyreans for the office! J

I am looking forward to finding out too. So far the only thing I've been able to give myself is a mini heart attack when I heard the loudest of pops between songs, espesially since my tt2 is brand new, I'm pretty new to the hobby so looks like a long road ahead. But if this somehow works and I...

I downloaded the trial yesterday and have been trying it out, the settings are slightly intimidating seeing as I'm pretty new to everything. Will look into this and see if I can take anything away from it. Thanks!

Wow, I could't have asked for a more detailed take, this helps quite a bit! I bought the Empyreans in the beginning because I loved the musicality of it, the body of the sound end and especially the sound staging. I have always preferred a warmer sound, as I am quite sensitive to treble, and...

I just got my TT2 and couldn't be happier with it, but am doing homework for future upgrades to my system :) Your system seems to be the direction I see myself going towards, with the mscaler and a gooey tube amp, and was wondering how the amplification of the elise compares to the amp built...

I recently upgraded my dac/amp, however not used to everything being so clear and transparent, and I find it slightly fatiguing after longer sessions. So mainly to get a smoother presentation and slightly tame the highs would be ideal. The soundstage is also a nice bonus.

Does anyone have any experience with the Meze copper cables? Looking to to upgrade from the stock cable I have now, open to suggestions. Thanks!

Wouldn't dream of leaving it be, it will be accompanying me to the office along side my Fiio FH7s! :)

I went, I saw, I listened, I fell in love, there is now a massive Hugo TT2 sized hole in my wallet, but absolutely 0 regret :)

The phone jack as a source was only because forgot to bring my USB cables to the shop where I auditioned the unit and they didn't have any. If that's the case I'll make sure to test out the unit again and see if it makes a difference. Thanks!!
