Initial impression:
i had owned phoenix for 1 week and there is comparsion.
outlook - both design are ugly. if you like art deco, high tech design, need to stay away from audio-gd.
body weight : both are very very heavy.
temp: for 4 hours burn in , master 6 has only a nearly cool hand feel , phoenix temp is like a heater .
hard to bear in summer time without air-con.
in this thread , what worried me at the beginning is it is too powerful to drive dt880(250 ohm) and es10.
but the fact is master 6
can drive those can at 17/70 for 880, 08/90 for es10 , let my pair of ear on easy.
now i only have single end and this beast only had 200 hrs burn-in ( i pushed too hard to kingwa to deliever it
to me for my annual leave entertainment, so kingwa asked me to keep burning in at home).
so initial impression is not accurated. but comparing with phoenix 1 week burn in,
more neutral, more more black background, very transparent, and very detailed, and very pushing power.
yes, not smooth enough, i think after 300 - 500 hours, let's see how it will be. will give more
impression after few weeks time.
i am planning to get IBASSO DX100 as transport and analog line-out directly to 6. because this new toy
has es9018 dac.
or keep waiting for cd7
please give some ideas. thank you.
