You need that burn-in!!!

Ooop! I just not be the only one!! Lol!! My bad. I look forward to your comparison still

Only things burning are my eyes.

Finally time to try the N8II.




Tube mode + Class A + EE Odin

. The same combo I'll be running as well. Super excited. Been refreshing my email all week for the notification

Hi, I just bought the N8ii. Does anyone know if Roon runs on it? And how?

 

[Skyediver]

Why not just customs one with wood DIY

Mainly because I'm the opposite of a DIY guy to my wife's endless frustration, lol.

Hi @Andykong , have you written about LINEOUT implementation, I'm waiting for that information.

As far as I have followed, both 3.5mm and 4.4mm have true line out. There are no Korg tubes for Line Out

But Tube mode only has Class AB though?

Wrong, tube can have class A, just not together with Gain P+ mode (Power +)

Tube mode can be run with Class A mode. It does not support 'P+' with Class A mode.(Tube + 'P+' + Class A)

Ah ok, as in low gain in A mode?

 

[IovOrc]

umm its somewhat like Non-extra power boost mode. There is gain control, Class A/AB selection and P/P+ mode in it.

Isn't their P/P+ = standard/high gain mode?
Those are the only power rating option as shown in their tech specs

What @IovOrc said is correct

 

[Z_Showmaster]

P/P+ adjusts operating voltage, bumping the voltage rails up. It is not a gain control – when you toggle P/P+, there is no increase to listening volume or loudness. Large dynamics become more confidently reproduced with P+, versus the softer, sweeter take that P gives you. You'll be able to switch between the two modes for synergy with different IEMs and particularly headphones.

In single-ended mode, P+ swings go up to seven volts. The N8ii is a bridge-tied load player, and positive and negative phases both function as output. This in particular benefits the balanced P+ implementation to double in voltage swing, and go over 10 volts for a very confident presentation with bigger headphones.

Just remember, P/P+ is not a gain/loudness control. N8ii has a dedicated gain control for L, M and H.

Tube mode has Class A.
