The paint on my A2C is very delicate, I haven't done anything crazy with them and the paint is all scratched. Does anyone else has this issue?

Dan has posted about this before and they will fix it:

Thanks! I just sent them an email.

I have no such issues. But maybe I am even more delicate. Or you are not as delicate as you think (ask your spouse/kids/pets)

Oh, reading the other post, I should have said "ask Dan".

The SN on your unit indicates this was from the affected batch I discussed in my post, contact us from the footer on our website and we'll fix it right up. Sorry about that!

Thank you, I contacted you yesterday and my pair is already on its way to you.

I said it multiple times, best customer service in the business.

The RT closed sounded fine off the JDS Atom my roommate has. I think the RT/X aeons scale well with better gear but I think the Atom will hold you over just fine. If you grab better gear down the road then at least you know the aeons will scale with it.

Is there a logical upgrade to the JDS Atom in the 200 to 300 range? The Atom seems to power the Closed X fine but I might take a run at a little more power. Not looking to spend a fortune or jump down the rabbit whole.

Anyone recommend a portable amp that goes well with A2C (not interested in iFi stuff)...looking to enhance a great but cheap portable r2r DACs ability in the stack...on the warmer side would better...looking at Phatlab Chimera JFET/tube amp later - as its a stack of cash for something portable.

It’s been recommended a lot already, but the Chord Mojo is a great pairing. It’s neutral but most listeners describe it as on the warmer side. Plenty of power. If your budget allows, adding Poly (wireless streamer attachment) will make it even more versatile.

Thanks, I'm looking for an amp to stack with an r2R DAC I have, not after an all-in-1 - as I'm trying to draw out the best from the DAC's output to something with more power.Owned Mojo before, just so-so with slightly rougher treble.

NVMD : I have just found a higher output version of the r2r unit on aliX and will slap an Energizer portable 15v LPS on it for the higher voltage output...The chip is the TDA1387x8 and while not the absolute last word in detail like Chord or ES9038, it has crazy good cohesive holographic imaging and solid analogue goodness.Brings out the mids so well on A2C.

Is there a way to loosen the clamp a bit on a new pair?
The fit is good but it clamps a bit too much for my preference

The screw head on the ventral side of the headband controls the clamp pressure.

 

[arielext]

How does that work exactly? Thought that screw was only there to keep the headband 'in place' and to tweak the resistance of the sliding mechanism.

Hi, what sub 500€ amp(or combo) would give the Aeon2 some nice bass slam? (even at moderate listening levels)
Now i'm driving it with a DAP and tho it sounds good i don't get bass slam. (it claims to put out 1240mW in a 32ohm load)
Would somthing like a Musical Fidelity M1HPA class A (and can find it cheap second hand) work well or would you go with a smsl sp200 class D(or similar)

I think he means just slide that vertical slide up just a little bit (that makes it clamp just a little less)
