Hi there,

I wonder if the improvements announced by Anedio regarding the Amp section, are significant when it comes to driving a HD 600/800s? I currently own a Violectric V100, and I would consider selling it to buy the D2, but I don't know if it will drive my HD 600/800s just as well. Any comments on that?

Greets!

I have 650 & T1 but not 800. I said that the D2 drive them OK. It not as good as my V200, but not big different.

Could you live with the D2 alone?

So...I ordered the D2, might be comparing it against the NAD M51.  Still waiting for my Paradox and now saving up for the BHA-1...
 
 
 
Sage advice I've not listened to.

 
How was the D2 with the BHA-1?

The lyr goes louder and drives more headphones but the D2 amp is better in everything else. You can compare it with the V200 in quality. It's excellent for your needs.

Are you saying the built in d2 amp is comparable to the v200 in sound quality?

Just ordered the D2.

I use a D2 with a BHA-1 and the LCD-2v2.
 
I think it is a tad warmer than the D2 head outs by themselves. I certainly wouldn't say it's a big improvement. 
 
When I get around to it I'm going to pair my BHA-1 with my Oppo BDP-105. Now that I expect will be a big improvement. The Oppo BDP-105 head output has really doesn't have the power to do the LCD-2v2 justice.

Yes.

Nearly. With some things like IEMs it it just as good, with large headphones it is very close, and sometimes the difference comes down to sound signature rather than ability.

Good call.

I'm subscribed to this thread, and as I've watched your posts, it became clear it was only a matter of time before you were drawn in . Hope you love it, man!! Please post your thoughts when you get it for those of us who haven't been able to make the leap

I could live with just it. I was listening to Chase's connected to speakers and loved it. It is certainly a killer at it's price and plays well with $2k competition.

Did you make a direct A/B comparison between the D2 & Oppo 105?

No, they are in different parts of the house so that's a bit inconvenient.

Off course I can live with D2 alone. I think it is good enough to me.
 
Currently I got my prismsound orpheus. Compare it to D2, D2 is as good as orpheus. But orpheus have much more functionality than D2. All are great things. I love them.

Got the D2 in today. First impression, I can't believe how tiny and light it is.
