Use mine with the Compass, they seem to work really well together.
Have also used it with the Xonar Essence STX, I prefer the compass but the Essence still does a great job.

Yes, this combo is not very bassy but I'm beginning to feel it more everyday...very controlled bass not bloated at all...I uses them around 6 - 7 hrs daily.

I'm also looking to getting a Compass but which OpAmp are you using (Earth / Sun / Moon)?


Actually Jaben's audition set sounded more bass straight out from my iPod Classic...& even more when hook-up with Graham Slee Novo.

Default, Earth, I believe. I have the others but no time yet to experiment.

So I purchased the D7000 (still on back order of course), and I am torn between 3 to 4 different amps to purchase. I keep hearing really good things about the synergy between the D7000 and the C2C, Compass, EF1, and the X CAN V8. I want to probably purchase one of these, but my music being primarily dance/electronica/techno heavy, I was wondering what the absolute best between those would be to ensure I have the most punch in my bass (but still being acoustically accurate of course). Maybe there is another amp i havent heard of to meet my needs. Any thoughts? thanks


Also i will being using the Apogee Duet as a DAC

I would buy either a C2C or an EF1 if you have a nice DAC already. Rolling tubes is kinda fun imho - its an audible difference between major flavors of tubes. I have done some minor opamp rolling and think its a little less impact to the sound. Compass is a lesser amp than the C2C as it got a DAC and cheaper amp stuff in it - still very nice, but shouldnt be on your list with the others.

Mac>PS Audio Digital Link III>Rudistor NX-03

This is a fabulous amp with the D7000's if your flavour of music is sparingly recorded acoustic anything or electronic, but I felt it was a little laid back or relaxed with more energetic rock or heavily layered recordings, mostly due to a very slightly rolled off treble; it just needed to be a tiny little bit more dynamic and revealing, a little more separation of instruments, more sense of "thereness" and grip. So I've ordered a Rudistor RPX-33! I'll let you know in a week...

The duel mono design should do it. Probably need 2 weeks to burn in.

Would the Stello da100 DAC paired with a C2C be a good combination for the D7000s, using my Macbook Pro? Does the Stello da100 have an optical port? If not, how would I pair it to a Macbook pro?

 

[SleepyOne]

Stello DA100 does has optical port. You could also use USB to link to your laptop.
