Just got the D8000 Pro in.

Short listening impression: P6 Pro is such an excellent source & R2R sound is hard to beat.

It is really good! I am shocked at how much it is better than my V2…

Just a short question on D8000 versus D8000 Pro: I am reading the Pro is designed towards higher volume levels as used by audio engineers. The Pro is supposed to cater a bit better for rock and pop, while the regular model is a bit leaning towards classical and jazz. Would you guys think so, too?

The Pro much more neutral , more details , more details in the bass. Non pro warmer more audeze sound. Pro not lean , not bright while can be bright if the recording was recorded to be bright. Pro has great bass depth.

Thank you! Sounds promising regarding the Pro.

Some quick listening impressions is that it gives a more coherent and more sophisticated presentation compared to my Diana V2.

I'd say the opposite. I have a D8000 video review coming out when I have time to shoot it. Basically, the D8000 is slightly v-shaped in sound, but a bit more closed-in-sounding, with the mids pushed back a bit. The D8000 Pro is close to flat, but with a drop at ~4kHz which prevents it from sounding too forward as a result. It is arguably better with vocals and instruments as they are more forward.

Before you ask.. unobtanium, as the company long stopped making them, but here's a set-up I've been playing with: Hugo 2 to the 4.4 input of the C9 with a balanced transformer doing the conversion. I felt this was better than using the SE input directly with the D8000 Pro.

excuse for my laziness, i have yet to read this thread. could somebody please answer does the 4.4mm balanced output use tube or solid state? are the tubes limited to 3.5mm like the n8?
Thanks

No it does not. Regardless of the input to C9, you can choose either tube or SS mode, and you can use either 3.5 or 4.4 in its audio output.

Morning listening.
