have anyone try Flux FA10 with Heddphone?
I have tried it with FA 12 and FCN 10.
Both are excellent and can drive the Heddphone to its full potential.
Very organic and analogue sound.
FCN 10 is fuller and a bit warmer , FA 12 is more expanded and faster.

I mostly use the FCN 10 with the internal dac.
Kindly have a look at my review of it.

This is one of the best combo units I have ever heard.
The amp portion as a stand alone unit is equally great.
Class A in its full glory without any negatives.

tnx I want to buy FA-10 or FA-10 PRO so any information is welcome
The amp inside the FCN -10 is exactly the same as the FA -10 and if I may confess that it is one of the best SS amps I have ever heard.
And class A is very good match with the HEDDphone.

can you compare the FA10 with any other amp you have or have heard.
what is best for you with the FA10 HEDDphone combination
This is too much for me because I am short of time.

The FA-10 plays on par with the big boys like Phonitor 2 or Violectric V550.
It may be a little , just a little short in ultimate technicalities like headstage (with the V550) or overall refinement or maybe be last drop resolving of detail or pitch black background with more sensitive headphones but it can stand easily on its own.
And that is without considering the price difference and the huge power reserves.
It is tubey without tubes.
I think that ranks easilly amongst the best.

I’m tempting by the speaker amp road but don’t want to invest in a new DAC + preamp, my question is can I use my FCN10 combo as an active pre amp ? Do I miss something ?
