I've recently bought a second-hand Stax 4040 combo (older model 006t not 006tII). My DAC is Mytek Stereo96. Before that I used Beresford DAC and headamp with Denon AH-D2000. The new set Mytek/Stax opened my eyes how audio staff can be sensitive to cables... I use cheap PC AC power cord and...

I've got recently Mytek Stereo96DAC. I use it with Denon AH-D2000. Generally speaking sound of this combo is quite good but I sometimes feel it a little bit too dry and sometimes I hear sibilants (probably caused by bad recordings). I thing I need new headamp :-) (max 1000 EUR) and my...

Little dot MKVII is balanced so I could use my D2000 in ballanced mode. Frankly speaking I’m not sure if MKVII is real balanced amp like Audio-gd ROC, but it has balanced in and out. C2C is not balanced amp i has only balanced input. The BIG question is how do they compare to each other...

I’ve just bought second hand Denon AH-D2000. I like it’s rather dark sound signature (I use it with squeezebox and beresford 7520 DAC/headamp). Maybe a little bit (not very much, really) control over bass, but other things are ok for me. What can I expect when I only recable it? I’m...

I'm going to use it with Beresford (please don't comment on it!). I like tight controlled bass, little warm in middle and detail natural sounding highs. If possible (with headphones) I like soundstage similar to what I hear with speakers. I listen mainly progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Genesis...

I've just bought the new Beresford TC-7520. I had before iBasso D3 (headamp/DAC). I have 2 pairs of headphones: AKG-280K Parabolic and Westone UM2 (IEM). With iBasso (sold) Westone sounded better than AKG with every source I tried (PC, my old CD Kenwood DP-5060, squeezebox). Now with Beresford...

I have iBasso D3 and it is really nice amp but it has problems with my squeezebox (other configs are ok and for sure they are not broken). I don't want to write details... simply they both don't work together (electrical circuit problems - lot of distortions even on low volume). So I decided...

I have iBasso D3 and Westone UM2 which makes quite nice combination :-) with my iPod. I’m planning to build stationary headphone set. I’m looking for better sound quality. For the source I will choose SqueezeBox (only FLAC files) and a DAC (I haven’t decided yet which one to choose). The...

When I connect my Ibasso D3 Python to iPod (LOD) everything is ok. When I connect to my laptop via USB - working as a DAC/amp also everything is ok, but using it with my SqueezeBox Classic is different story... When connected via line-out of Squeezebox I can hear quite loud buzz sound. It is...

My D3 has arrived... I thought I could very easy hear the difference between this 2 configurations: 1.iPod + UM2 (headphone out) 2.iPod + D3 (LOD) + UM2 but frankly speaking the difference is very, VERY subtle... sometimes I doubt if it really exists. The sound stage seems to be a bit...

I've just received my iBasso, load batteries connect my iPod (line-out) and .... first sound I heard was harsh noise! When the time was going on it started to sound normal but the problem is that it can only play with my AKG 280 Parabolic (72ohm) ! Whatever IEM I tried to connect: my Westone...

I’ve just ordered my iBasso D3 Python. Frankly speaking I was thinking about P3 Heron but reading some posts I decided for D3 cause some headfiers claim that D3 sounds better than P3. It is only 40$ difference and I also have DAC so I didn’t hesitate longer... My question is how can I use his...

Recently I’ve bought Westone UM2 which replaced my Creative EP630. I listen both with iPod Nano 3rd gen. I must admit that there is a big difference in sound quality between this 2 IEMs. UM2 are much more detailed and controlled (especially in bass). My question is what can I expect buying a...

Hello, This is my first post here. Sorry for my English, I’m not native English speaker. Recently I bought Westone UM2 which replaced my Creative EP-630. What a difference! I use iPod Nano 2nd gen. 8Gb and I’m going to buy a new classic one (120Gb). I consider of buying 1 of this 2: RSA...
