My uDAC arrived yesterday. My SRH-840 isn't here yet so I'm going to tell you bout the Hifiman RE0 + uDAC pairing.
The two of them are giving me some pretty mean music for the money. Out of my computer's hp jack, the RE0 were really polite when it came to bass and impact. Out of the uDAC, the lows gained authority and the whole range was more dynamic and confident. With rock, the guitars scream with a satisfying grit, the cymbals sparkle plenty. The electronic songs are resolving and fun, you can feel some new subtle detail in the effects. Jazz remains polite enough, the bass is now sufficiently present.
The RE0's are relatively hard to drive IEMs at 60ohms and 100db sensitivity. The uDAC knob is at 10 o'clock and that's plenty loud so there's some juice to spare. The signal is audibly cleaner, no hiss at all.
In all, they revived my RE0's. Might have to sell the SRH-840 as there's not a whole lot of space for improvement here.
