i liked that review and his reviews in general, i bought the thieaudio elixir following hid advices and they are wonderfull, he is right saying this amp doesn't sound as a valve amp, i would add a cheap valve amp, and yes it is a little warm in sound. s17 sound instead like the best valve amp...

Hi I'm New here I have just bought my first x26 Pro ( hardly modded otherwise I had bought the a26) and I m waiting for it I have a question for you: I didn't read All the pages before.. everybody is advising to add a clock to the x26 pro , does it worth if I still don't have a streamer or u...

do any of you know if aune s17 accepts a 5 volts xlr input signal?i can adjust my x26pro xlr output voltage. Besides for what concernig temperature , if it is true that without signal , in class a the temperature increase at maximum, i guess that in single ended mode (with rca input) it should...

which headphones do you have? My s17 is the later batch, if. i leave it turned on for about 2 hours in a 21c° room it will reach 68c° and then pass to 50milliampere. But the class a heats more if you leave it without signal. using my he1000se it stay safe but never listened 2 hours. you won't...

i've bought the x26pro modded for now

no, i speak a lot with this engineer it was adviced to me from another person that told me it was well known, i speak with him and he seemed honest and was born in a region of italy in which honesty is common, is not the same in other region. So i trust him. he also said to me that r2r dac don't...

i accepted today to buy a modded gustard x26pro there is here in italy a good technician, expert in modding gustard, with 800-900 euros he changes a lot of parts with better ones giving more fluidity and silence\blackness i don't know how to say, i've found a used one modded by him. i would like...

Price include shipping everywhere in Europe. Original box and accessories included. See my feedbacks. Warranty expired Perfect, just a bit warm sounding, smooth and extremely musical, upgraded at the last firmware. No more needed cause i uses it only at home and i'll take a desktop dac. Images...

Have you got the warranty? Where do you live? Why you didn't like it? Thanks

Why do you advise topping d 30? I'm seeking for a dac too, but as I have he1000se I want more quality and transparency, my if gryphon add to the sound a warmness that I want to try to take off, but I'm so frightened about topping and smsl gear maybe it's my bias. I am thinking about su-10 since...

o gosh thanks to saving me from buying it.... any advice for me? i'm getting crazy reading all these reviews and listening you tube...

Why u are not satisfied??

i've already tried, quikly, not doing a-b test, but too many experiment have confused me so i remember only that sound come out with less effort but i let you know with better tests. i was wandering what was the correct volume on ifi to drive s17 cause after last firmware upgrade the scale was...

i tried ef 400 as a stand alone dac not with s17pro and i dont't like it it sounded all in your face and sound muffled and like distorted, it was a real pity the ef 400 whatever i tried to using it

so what has happened to this thread? is speaking about octo anymore? i'm thinking of buying it.... me too have s17pro and he1000se to drive, but the fact you say it is slow is stopping me.... bass shy? any youtubers said that ...mah

hi guys my s17 has arrived yesterday.. o gosh this is the amp, i love it from the 10 second i listened. i'm a musician and an audiophile from 30 years and it takes few second to decide if something worth or not, for example having listened to ef400 in one minute decide to re sell it. this amp...

Hifiman Ef400 headphone amplifier with unbalanced and balanced rear R2R dac output, and all possible front headphone outputs, as new and under warranty until Sept 2024. Very powerful, it sounds organic and refined. It weighs about 4kg, is aesthetically and functionally perfect and massive but...

I've bought a lot of mid priced iems from penon if she offered me a substantial discount on older models probably I had continuing buying from them but the discount have become increasingly smaller over new oriducts , and older models stay there unsold making cobwebs and collecting powder

Yes it will cost more cause Penon is starting thinking to be in the right to raise the price at the level of better value brands. PENON is collecting the fruits of their aggressive marketing campaign which has made it known to many of us, but it also risks becoming an untouchable brand because...

Ziigaat doscinco!

i bet 950 for vip member or 1299 full price. p.s. what are 4 sonion electrostatic? 4 est?

I don't think is defective, if penon gave me a label to ship them for free I let them judge if it's defective, cause anyway I'm no more using it but I don't want to ask, I was an early buyer and a lot of time is passed.
