That said I've noticed that the volume pot selector is often not very responsive, needing to be held down or clicked a few times to get it to do what it's supposed to. Is that something you and others have experienced?
The volume pot on my Conductor acts just the same way: sometimes the volume decreases rotating the knob clockwise, sometimes skips a few steps. Other than that it works fine and sounds good too, but I wish I sent it back at the time: I’m not using it anymore, I would like to sell it, but this problem clearly affects the resale price.
Well, I'm getting mixed signals about SparkoS opamps here.
What I'm most curious about is the SparkoS SS2590 on the input stage... Firstly if it's possible to fit them with some creative use of extenders, and then if the concerns raised above preclude that from being a good setup.
There was a guy who put them on the input stage of his Conductor 3XR with the top of the case off and IIRC he had good initial impressions, but then he stopped posting so I'm not sure if it ended up working out.
If anyone knows more I'd be happy to hear it. Or impressions of the SS3602 vs the Vivids.

How do Grados pair with Soloist 3XP? I run Grado GH2 with my Conductor 3R (w SuperCharger & Sparkos SS3602) and get the dreaded hiss when no music is playing. Not that big a deal with music flowing, but I would love a silent background when using Grados.
So, I'm debating a Soloist 3XP while they're on sale, with a Topping D90SE DAC. the Soloist is supposed to be quite than the Conductor 3R.
Does anyone know if the supercharger will work on the GT? Burson doesn’t list it as a supported model on their website but the GT does use the same 24V/3A design as the 3XP.

First off please excuse me for my lack of knowledge on the subject but I need some help. I already own the soloist and I am using my dx300 as a dac and source with my lcd x. My problem is I like my music on usb audio player pro so I can use eq but where I live I can't get wifi that is worth a crap. I may be buying the composer or denafrips Pontus as a dac and what I need to know is how could I use my phone as a source so I can use my data plan and listen with uappp? What interconnect should I be looking for?

I use an AUDIOQUEST USBC to usbc cable, but the stock cable from Burson works. I think they are technically the same as regular USBC data transfer cable

For me the vivids are a bit of a U shaped curve with more bass elevation and slam along with treble sparkle and extension. The sparkos are much flatter in presentation.
I bought the 3XP to primarily pair with my 1266 Phi TC so it needs all the help in the mids it can get an 0 emphasis on bass and treble peaks. I find I lose a tough of bass slam and some sizzle up top in exchange for more better technical performance and resolution through the mids. For many of my other headphones I think the Vivids were slightly better (LCDX, LCD3F, OG Clears). But I have other amps for them so I haven’t swapped the vivids in for months.
I also do not have the supercharger (en route) so cannot comment on pairings of op amps with the SC.
