I can’t get enough of the Amp9 Korg Tubes . I want and want and demand for a Full-size Desktop Module that have 2X Nu-Tubes can Quick charge by itself, with it own battery, and can even take in Linear power supply with Balanced out, Line-out, line-in !!

Easy: Locate a used Apex Sangaku amp, add an LPS with battery, and you're pretty much there.

That is true, but the things is that I desire Ibasso Amp9 signatures if ever ! That is why I am waiting for Ibasso to release such module.

Not every amp that uses the same tubes would sound the same :wink:, but you are right it is always an option

Ordered my AMP 9 too...

I'm looking forward to the colder days of France. I don't carry my DX220 around much because of the hot weather, it's so much easier with a big jacket !

All depends on preference

Amp1 mk2 - More reference
Amp8 massive sound stage

So far Amp8 is my favourite but i'm yet to try AMP9
Agreed. It's a wonderful pairing no matter which you choose. I'll also have a balanced cable with 2.5mm and 4.4mm adapters arriving next week, so will be interesting to see if going balanced makes a difference (many contrasting reports on the net - but I'll let my own ears decide). I purchased the Stellia mainly for semi-portable use - i.e. outside in the park, yard, etc or if I'm sitting next to my wife and want to listen and not bother her too much, and it hasn't disappointed. Also gets better with the better amps and DACs you throw at it.

I have an AMP9 arriving tomorrow and will give a try with the Stellia (and also Solaris).

Is it possible for dx220 to drive Diana?
Of course:

Just joking. I’ve tried amp1mk2 and amp8 with Diana, and I was confused, because amp1mk2 I liked more.
