Having spent about two months with the Cayin Soul 170ha, I can confidently say it’s an amplifier that stands out in every way. Paired with high-performance headphones such as the Hifiman Susvara, ZMF Caldera, Atrium, and Abyss 1266, the 170ha consistently showcased its ability to adapt and deliver exceptional sound quality across various listening scenarios.
What truly impressed me was its synergy with the Susvara. Defying all expectations, the 170ha demonstrated an all-rounder capability while fully unlocking the potential of this demanding headphone. When paired with the Weiss 502 Mk2 DAC, the amplifier delivered the DAC's output with such finesse and power that it left a lasting impression.
Among all the amplifiers I own, the 170ha is in a league of its own. Its unique tuning and performance make it a singular choice that stands out even in the most competitive setups. If you’re looking for an amplifier that balances versatility and high performance, the Cayin Soul 170ha is a rare gem that won’t disappoint.
