By my standard, it's over 90% performance.(It's 90 percent, but it's probably the best?)
Let me know if you ever hit 100 % ! Would like to hear that amp

Hello!
I am in search for a new amp and need your advice. Having tried other tube amps, I think I am a bit sensitive to the tube hiss. How is the hiss with Stellaris? Is it always DEAD silent with both low impedance and high impedance headphones?
I currently have HD800s and Focal stellia. I listen to classical music for 70% of the time and the rest for pretty much everything. Is Stellaris a good pairing or there are some other amps to consider?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for commenting. Stellaris/Utopia is a pairing I'm very interested in. Could you please clarify what you mean by this?One thing to note is my Utopia do get too load pretty quick due to low Z.
So you think Susvara is too hard to drive using Stellaris? Just curious if you have experience with this pairing and your thought on it? Thanks.The Stellaris is always dead silent. Even paired with my Noble K10U it is dead silent.
May main phones are HD800 and Focal Utopia. They are excellent pair to the Stellaris. I mainly listen to classical too and I think the stellaris is good at it.
One thing to note is my Utopia do get too load pretty quick due to low Z. The HD800 doesn't have this issue.
Besides those two. The 1266 TC is also a good match but Sus is no go. Hope this help.
Understood! Thank you.It's not about being hard to drive, the synergy isn't really there. Stellaris and Utopia on other hand, you'll be hard pressed to find a better combo synergy for the amp.

Don't be afraid to use SE with the -6dB setting, it was made for this purpose. Under a microscope it may be 99.5% the quality of balanced yet I didn't care enough about it and the convenience is too good to pass. Utopia Stellaris combo is soo good you won't care about anything else, that's the best thing about the setup, it disappears and leaves just the music.The Utopia pairs well with Stellaris, so far the best I ever tried. But the gain is high. Normally 1 to 2 out of the 10 volume is pretty loud to me. So not a lot usable volume adjust range to me. If the album you listen to had really high recording levels like some of the metal music it could be a issue.
