Did someone use the Power Base for the Tube Mini? is it worth 299$?

Best ist very subjective. I Like the MR over the 1266

Did someone combine the Tube Mini with an external Headphone Amp? Do you get a "black background" out of it? And which Headphone Amp would you recommend?

Im looking for the WooAudio Tube Mini portable Dac Amp with shipping to EU. Please PM me

Youre my Hero!

When i paire the RU7 with an external Amp the loudness and dynamics seems a bit off in higher volumes on the Amp keeping the RU7 in 100 Volume. What Volume do you recommend the RU7 paired in balanced with an external Dac without sacrificing dynamics?

Thank you but i found the Ares 2 for under 500€ and it isn't a Dac i search for

You get a used Singxer SA1 for around 200/300€. It's very good amp and doesn't have many flaws. I think cheap is subjective but in this price area of 500$ i expect a bit more than let's say for 200$

Thank you a dongle Dac for around 500$ is a bit too expensive. The i thought about the Firefly but its expensive import it to EU

Can anyone recommend a “cheap” tube amp to use the Diana MR to gain experience of how they sound with different gear

.

Yes but the DZ is a more analytical headphone than the MR

Just to understand you. Do you like the sound of the leather pads more than the vegan ones? In reviews I understood it to mean that the leather pads sound more analytical and the vegan pads bring the bass forward more and sound more fun.

It's not about the money it's about the quality in perspective of value. The RU7 isn't cheap either but sounds really good among his price tag. With your point i could also just use the Cayin ru7 which i owned as a Dac and save even more money. I thought about the Bitfrost 2 but it's too...

Man i don't believe how good Dongle Dacs, like the Cayin RU7, sounds . But for my desktop setup i need a new Dac and ask myself which one would be recommended for around 500$. Balanced would be nice but not needed. From presentation standpoint i prefer a smooth punchie presentation over analytical

So it's not that much of a difference? Thought it improves the bass and reduce the harshness. Also what Amp would recommend for around 500$ for the MR?

Thank you i'm considering to get the Abyss Diana Vegan Pads with the Head Band you can stick on. But it's really expensive for around 400$ included taxes. Is it worth to upgrade to the vegan pads for better sound/bass? Is it a step up from the normal Leather Pads?

Which Headband Padding can your recommend for the Abyss MR and do you think it's worth to use my RU7 as a Dac and connect it to an Amp like the Schiit Midgard to get the best out of the MR?

Is it worth to get the LCD 2 Aluminium from 2016 for around 500€ and put Vegan Pads on it?

It could also be $20.000 and it looks despite of it like a $50 periat cable. So i asked there the price came from. And like you said, you get with your MEST a premium standard cable. I dosent see the purpose for this cable and price

What is so Special about the cable? it looks like the standard mest cable and in terms of looks like a 50$ periat cable

Guys, definitely try the Coreir Brass Eartips on the MKII! Like many others here, I preferred the JVC EPFX10 Spiral Dot for a long time. They offer a very harmonious, non-strenuous sound in which the details are presented unobtrusively without any veil in a credible soundstage. But you're...

Why you even try to convert him? There are always these religious discussions when an atheist comes into the group. He just doesn't "believe" in it and apparently has more knowledge than others. I wouldn't waste energy on something like that

can't get them in EU

What are the best ear tips in terms of tonal Balance and Bass for the Mest MK II?
