Vio 550 is one of the fastest and most dynamic amplifiers. Try playing with the gain. Reducing gain leads to increased accuracy, dynamic range, and transient speed.

Oh, emotions are boiling. What will happen when we see the entire delivery set with a box made of craft cardboard for $5 and complete catheter wires. :boom: :boom: :boom:

The number of Susvara offers on the secondary market has increased sharply. Or is it just me? :thinking:

Try listening for one week without the display. For the second week, listen with the display. With prolonged listening, it is easier to identify differences in sound.

I discovered this effect by accident. I turned off the display because I wanted to extend its service life. But I was immediately surprised that Bliss played better without the display. p.s. Holo May also plays better with the display turned off.

You can't go wrong with any of these amps. I've had Bliss for almost a year, Vio for more than 3 years. I like both amps. They play differently, but they both play well. Main differences: - Bliss has a slight rounding of high frequencies. Those. Listening to bright headphones does not cause...

You don't have to worry about this. Vio 550 is even better than Soloist GT. Vio has good synergy with DCA headphones. Vio 550 is a fairly new device. It is unlikely that we will be able to see a successor in the near future. But if you want even more performance, then you should look at Niimbus...

The Lake People are in a good mood. I like it. Munich High End 2024.

It seems to me that it would be correct to completely remove the VU meters in the V322. This will reduce its cost, leaving the most necessary functions in the device. Those who want to get the maximum configuration, buy V324.

My solution was quite simple. I chose DCA Stealth. Stealth performs excellently with Niimbus.

What is the outgoing resistance at the amplifier terminals? What damping factor is obtained when connected to 1266 terminals? Could the sound characteristics of the 1266 connected to the terminals be related to the damping factor alone?

Yes! That sounds impressive. I've listened to other DACs as well. I decided to stick with Holo May for now (already 2 years in my system). Below is a quote from the manual. I noted in bold what is the advantage of this setting. But, the manual does not say that this way the best sound quality...

I'm sorry. It seemed to me that you have a Cayin CS-100DAC. I made a mistake. My experience says that the greater the voltage supplied to the amplifier allows you to set less gain on it. Ideally, you need to apply such a voltage to the amplifier that the gain is set to “0” and the volume...

Cayin HA300b allows 1266 to better sound sub-bass and additionally gives emphasis to mid-frequencies and reduces the brightness of high frequencies. At the same time, Niimbus makes 1266 sound with amazing accuracy and speed, that's a fact. I listen to 1266 with Niimbus more often.

Niimbus produces the best sound when a comfortable volume level is achieved with the volume control position close to the maximum. Try setting the gain to +6 instead of +12. This should leave you with enough room to adjust the volume. I see your DAC has separate outputs when running in preamp...

What position is the volume control at which a comfortable volume level is achieved?

I'm sure they have completely different sounds. Niimbus is the standard for crystal clear sound and the widest dynamic range, phenomenal speed of transient processes (with the correct gain settings). СFA3, due to the higher preset gain, will have a warmer signature, greater sound density and...

I purchased 1266 and DСA 2 years ago, i.e. before the amplifier. I have only heard this feature of the amplifier’s sound with these headphones for the last few months. I also listen to these headphones with other amplifiers, they are indicated in my signature. The sound of the headphones on...

This seems like an obvious answer to my question. BUT! For what reason have I only heard this effect for the last few months, although I have owned the amplifier for more than a year? If it were only an impedance mismatch, then I would have heard this sound feature immediately (from the moment I...

I apologize. I mean RCA. Yes. Vio 590 can supply a low voltage according to RCA, 2 or 2.5 volts (I can’t find the exact value in the manual). At the same time, hoarseness and overload when the volume reaches more than 3 hours is more pronounced when using Vio as a DAC. This effect of...

I'm not the biggest expert in picture divination. But, apparently, Big Boy is coming soon.

If he does appear, it would be right to give him real demonic name "Abyss 13666".

If I set the impedance switch to the "L" position, at the maximum volume I can handle (volume control position - 2 o'clock), I do not hear any hoarseness or overdrive.

Are you talking about Vio 590? If you reduce the gain from "0" to "-6" on the Vio 590, it will drive less voltage to the HA-300. In this case, I don’t have enough volume on the HA-300, even if I set it to the maximum value. Hoarseness and overload above 3 o'clock on the volume control are...
