Mucho nice gear HeatFan...

Looking forward to your comparison impressions (A-GD vs. DM, Matrix, LD...).

May I also suggest less work and more Fun?

Thanks...I definitely need a vacation...

.....

I'm really looking forward to comparing everything. Want to get at least 150 hours on Audio-GD. Going to start preparing with music selection, match-ups with amps, various headphones etc.....Good times ahead....

Thanks...and solidly built with many features...

DAC-19DF & C-2 connected (RCAs for now) and burn-in has begun...Quick listen and I can say- plenty of power, no harshness and black backround....

 

[ulyses]

Eagerly waiting. Heatfan12 you have the most comparisonable equipment chain I ever seen on this forum. Keep writing please

 

[Currawong]

Wow, nice rig! The write-up I'm sure will be epic. It's always good to have at least a couple of amps to compare with, but you have a nice variety of gear to compare.

ulyses: If you think that collection is epic, you haven't seen what some of the big reviewers on here have in terms of headphones.

 

[TheWuss]

yeah. just click on skylab and look at all the images of his different rigs. sick...

Thanks very much Curra, it was a lot of your posts along with other Audio-GD customers that swayed me....I'm glad I took the plunge...

Having a little fun with the FUN and trying out the coax with the 01USD and a pair of Grados.....Still cooking, but I peek every now and then....DAC-19 & C-2 cooking upstairs....Good times....

I'am awaiting the comparison,I need to get an amp,but if FUN is better then the C-2 then I wouldn't mind a high resolution DAC.

 

[aszental]

Will the fun have any problems powering a pair of HD650's?

I doubt that the FUN will be better than the C-2. The old C2C was already better than the FUN. You can read my review here : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/rev...preamp-468522/

The Fun doesn't have trouble driving the HD-650 even with the low gain setting. For more details, you can read my review linked above.

Thanks for your vital reply,now I need to decide whether to get the New C-2 and using my D4 as a DAC which is apparently a very decent one,or to get the FUN version A

Many will disagree, but portable dacs won't come anywhere close to full-sized dacs. There's not even enough space in a portable chassis to put real capacitors

 

[HeatFan12]

I have not plugged in the HD650s to the FUN yet, but I will say that with the C-2 they sound very, very good....

.....First word that comes to mind with this amp is effortlessness (is that a word ?)...lol

It really just flows.....

Finally, ACSS connected-- DAC-19DF-- CDP/SACD....

 

[HeatFan12]

Quick question in reference to ACSS. Believe me, I am trying to sort through all the many features of these products, but there are quite a few, so I am taking it all in stride...

When using ACSS, the gain feature on the C-2 is irrelevant?

I see it only works with the RCAs...Just want to confirm this is normal operating procedure...

Again, my apologies if I missed it somewhere, but there are many features to sort through....
