Wasn't Rob working on an audio interface or something like that? If so, when will it be released as I am currently in the need of a new one actually.

Thanks for the advice. I will try eBay.
Have a great and healthy day.
Cheers
I personally wouldn't use eBay due to the auction fees and buyers increasingly abusing the eBay Buyer Protection policies and forcing sellers to accept returns after 45 days. Use the Head-Fi forums and other audiophile classifieds sites first.

I have a Dave and have a pair of horn speakers inbound (107db and 18ohm impedance) and was wondering if anyone had attempted driving a pair of horn speakers directly from the Dave. I know there are well documented examples of people driving single driver speakers like the Voxativ 9.87 and Omega speakers, but curious if anyone successfully tried the same with horn speakers (AG Duo XD in this case).

Thanks!

Man o Man o Man! I have been eyballing those speakers to go with my Audio Note Gear. I would give it a go with the Dave, but I wouldn't rule out other options. I'm sure you saw Steve Guttenbergs' video with Miguel, those speakers and the Audio Note Kondo Ongaku.

Yeah, I saw that video, that's an amazing set up! A Kondo Ongaku is way out of my budget (esp with the recent purchase of the Duo XDs), even an older 1997 version (made by Kondo san) is also a little rich for my blood (there's one for sale on USAM, which I briefly considered in a moment of fiscal insanity).

I will be looking at some "reasonable" SET amps as well, if folks have some good suggestions. I'm pretty clueless in this space (my experience has been mostly limited to Pass Labs X/XA series amps).

PS: What AN gear do you have. I assume from AN UK?

These sound like words of wisdom from experience :) Duly noted. I see some careful experimentation ahead for me.

My horn speakers are 107dB sensitive, and while I can't speak to Dave, this is a wonderful(?) opportunity to iron out any tube noises, ground loops, stray buzzes or otherwise unidentified decibels in the system :smile_phones:

I have the Audio Note OTO Phono SE Signature Tube Integrated Amplifier, the Audio Note 3.1x/II Balanced DAC and the Audio Note AN-E/SPe HE Speakers as a second system.
