Don't know but it works well with the Hifiman 1000se.Interesting re the Sennheiser tuning. Planning to get an Artemis at some point and hoping it will pair well with the Hifiman Arya.

Was initially aiming at eventually getting a Venus DAC but after reading a few reviews of the R26 I decided to give it a shot, sounds fantastic and is a great value.R26 is a new one to me. Will check it out.
Curious as to why you went with that R2R solution vs continuing with the Denafrips line given you have the Artemis?
Neither in my Gustard R26 or else I would have had done the same treatment for sure !Ah, interesting! There are no fuse in their DAC, at least in the Pontus, Venus or Terminator, so nothing we roll there
Isn't it just between the iec & power switch on the R26? (#13 on the image)Neither in my Gustard R26 or else I would have had done the same treatment for sure !
Ohhh thanks a lot ! I only looked at pictures from the inside and looking at the doc and couldn't find any reference to a fuse. I will have a look. CheersIsn't it just between the iec & power switch on the R26? (#13 on the image)
On topic-ish. I've had one Denafrips item that required fuses, and it responded substantially to a fuse upgrade. I think I switched from stock to Hifi Tuning Supremes at the time. Using SR Purples everywhere I can now to excellent effect, and would think they'd synergize well with Denafrips components.
Yes. Nothing to say about it. Don't hear much tonal difference to the balanced. Not sure about volume or SQ compared to the balanced as the headphones are different.Has anyone tried the single-ended output on the Artemis?
Thanks. Most of my usage will be balanced as well but I do have some hard-wired single-ended cans that ideally, I won't need (want) a separate amp for.Yes. Nothing to say about it.

The Artemis is a fully balanced design so I expect the balanced provides the best results.
Annoying. Alvin has a good rep for support. Hoping you get a solution quickly. A cap should be fairly easy to replace.I noticed that my 6-month old Artemis was no longer getting warm while playing but still sounding fine, I popped the cover and sure enough one capacitor is dark and popped. Awaiting to hear back from support.
I had the same experience using the Artemis with the Beyerdynamic T1.3. The Artemis became more neutral with better bass control after 300 hours.Im currently demoing a denafrips artemis amp, using the pontus 2 as dac via rca (no xlr yet). First impression was that it was super dark and bassy. Like changing the sound of the headphones too much. Lets see after some burn in. Initial impression was surprising. Headphones use were the zmf atrium and hd800s with nordost heimdall 2 cabling.
