Headphoneus Supremus
Last saturday, i got a session with my buddy at his home.
Participants were the R28, Atoll HD100 and his home receiver Denon AVR-X7200.
Headphones in line were my Quad Era-1, Oppo PM-3, Beyerdynamic T1.2 and short time AT-Msr7b.
Loudspeakers were B&W 702 with the help of the Elac Sub 2070.
Notebook via USB to the R28 and TV via optical to R28 and HD100. Same Flac files from USB-stick on the Denon-->HD100.
Additional youtube streaming over optical connectionto both Hamps.
First thing to notice was the overall control of the R28.
In comparison to the HD100, the R-28 didn't reach the volume level of the Atoll, even with T1.
But there is so much more punch and control. Really impressive.
As a side note: the Era-1 has destroyed the T1 in every regard, even with balanced cable on the T1.
Such a joy to listen to them.
My buddy has driven the T1 on level 99 on the R28 for a short period without any aches.
That's a bit curios to me, couz the tiny Atoll goes way louder. With lesser quality, of course.
Did somebody mentioned something before?
