I would have been tempted yesterday, but your friend from Calyx thread make me look at a different amp, this hobby is crazy..he, he

Yep, at double the price, the « other » really needs to be something special. And as always, no risk, no fun!

As always it’s all about synergy. I won’t sell my HA-2, because as said, with another headphone (or another cable) the HA-2 might come out on top!

Dx160 stacks neatly. Flourish lama nano rubber keeps them joined strongly!

The DX160 has a very clean line out - so you'll be feeding the HA2 with a very good DAC in my opinion. I think the amp sounds very different - it adds color, sweetness (in the treble), and some warmth down low. It's also different with the staging but I'm very poor at analyzing head stage. HA2 sounds bigger (more blown out) maybe less surgically precise, but tone is more refined.

let us know how it goes. I'm still using my HA-2 as a bedside rig. It's a great match for my Oriveti OH500. Sometime's I used DX160 as a source, other times, my old LG V30.

What kind of screwdriver can open the case? I want to try and see other opamps.
