A phone with Hugo destroys the sp1000.

I was referencing sound directly out of a phone not through an external dac. The Hugo 2 is great and i know people that prefer the hugo over the sp1000 and others that prefer the sp1000. If you are talking about the Dave that is a different story. I thoroughly enjoy my sp1000 with all of my headphones and iems. I find some to sound even better with the addition of the ALO CV5. How do you like the Cayin N8?

I wish I could get my hands on a dual mono. I was able to pick up the CV5 on the black friday deal though. So far loving it and it is so easy to tube roll with. Only draw back is the need for the iematch with solaris or my roxanne.

Had that with a th900.

N8 by Cayin sounds better than both of those.

my impression for Alo Duo Mono is dark with good resolution... will be better for Headphone usage rather that sensitve IEM....

Is like old days Amp, where u need to warm the tube before use...

hmm U prefer natural with a bit bright?
if you compare that, Mono duo id too dark for you....

like Giorgio said... free ur mind....

So, I just received my LGV40, and I am picking up hiss with the Solaris while music is playing (it's easiest to hear when I turn the volume down). Anyone else noticing this, or is mine defective?

I have the LG G7 and I don't think there is any hiss. Not sure if there is any difference in amp section of the two though.

Which mode is the dac run on? Normal or High impedance?

I owned the Fidue A91 and it is not as deep as the Solaris with a much shorter nozzle.

Thank you sir. Is the shell of solaris bigger as well compared to A91?

When I switched poweramps output to High Res (24/192) the hiss went away. I dont notice any hiss changes when I enable the hifi quad dac, maybe a little more background hiss, but it also increases the volume so I cant really accurately compare.

Sound like software problem. Did you try the stock LG player? Also, the "normal mode" I talked about is actually the mode with quad dac enabled but there are also a high impedance mode which will probably have too much power for the Solaris and will produce hiss. The system usually detect which mode to use automatically once you enable the dac feature (high impedance for iem/hp with over 50 ohm) but the detection system can be messy and choose the less apropriate output.

1) I thought David's song was soooooooo boring.. but hey, what can you expect from a metal head. \m/
2) I love it how people complain about hiss, I keep posting about UAPP but nobody notices and they continue with IEMatch, expensive DAPs and whatnot...
3) Tomorrow morning it's Solaris auditioning time. Beware of my pseudo-reviewer wrath! Muahhahaaaa.... ok, ok, I'm alright now.

I'm a metalhead too, auditioning the solaris atm, will share my impessions later.

It shouldnt be in high impedance mode as the volume goes to pretty high comfortably. I will try the stock player (google play music) soon.

I still need to compile my post of all the female/higher vocal tracks I listened to and what my thoughts were, and I can tell all you right now that for me the Solaris excells with female/higher register vocals.

I listen almost exclusively to female vocal and I didn't find it recess at all (like many seem to think). In fact, they are a bit forward to me compare to what I remeber from the one I demoed and bass is slight sloppier as well. Mine is fresh out of the box though so maybe it would change in time.

I owned one and didn't like the dac and when paired with a warm iem, it was too warm. The Hugo 2 mops the floor with it, but is a little brighter.
