It seems to have a reputation for being just about as good as it gets, but I'm really starting to wonder.
What brought me to this wondering is that I have two identical "maxed" PPAs in my possession right now, except that one has an ebay stepped attenuator with solid silver wire and one has a alps blue with spc wire.
I hear a significant difference between the two. The stepped PPA has this crazy 3D sound that seems to come from way outside the headphones. It is also more detailed and just in general sounds a lot nicer to me.
I don't believe the wire is making much difference. Especially since I'm using 3 foot spc interconnects and stock headphone cables.
What do you guys think? It seems the attenuator is really working some magic.
