wonder how the ifi pro ican signature compares to either fa-10 or fa-22 or the volot
Not enough money to A/B them.Did anyone have the ability to compare Audio-GD Master 19/9 with FLUX FA-10/12/22?
Anyone have any impressions with the FA-10 and HEK? I’ve only seen a few in this thread. It’s either going to be this, the Voltos or Sparkos Aries.
How does the in built dac compare with the ares 2?I have been revisiting the FCN-10 with the Sennheiser/Drop HD8XX.
Honestly, can't be so good, I could happily keep this as my only end game DAC/amp.
It is amazing what they have done with just two humble AKM4493.
I have installed the latest version of MoOde and I am feeding it with Silent-angel Bonn N8.
Magic.
Only downside is the heat, the room gets hot and smelly!
Well the Ares II is just a little more organic and full bodied with less digital glare (not that the FCN-10 has too much of it).How does the in built dac compare with the ares 2?
FA-22 is pretty similar to FA10PRO signature. Do you mean FA-12 ? Was it a mistake ?I requested some info about all their amps since it is confusing to me and this is their reply. Hope it helps someone in the decision making...
Thank you so much for your request
Please find some basic points below
FA-10 & FA-10PRO
FA-10 and FA-10PRO are based on similar topology but with some unique differences. Thanks to that, FA-10 and FA-10PRO have the same output power but different sound character.
PRO version is more crisp and detailed, the bass response has more focus but is less in-depth. The classical version is more linear, warm and musical; lows are deeper, mids are more emotional. Those both models were designed to share unlimited possibilities for hard to drive headphones market.
FA-12 & FA-10
The amplifiers have a different circuit design and their own unique character; FA-12 utilizes a fully-balanced circuit design with MOSFET output, making the sound more coloured and fun, with a bit deeper bass response, more forwarded mids and gently sparkled highs.
FA-10 is single-ended. It is based on bipolar output design, which performs much more output power; the sound character is more linear, with a darker background and a more wide sound stage. Bass is not as deep as FA-12, but it is stronger on the technical side, with more focus, speed and control. Highs and mids are softer than on FA-12.
FA-22 is pretty similar to FA10PRO signature, but have a bit more emotional mids presentation, similar lows depth and control
If you not planning to order some hard to drive headphones like HE06SE, Abyss etc. I guess FA-12 will be a great combination at balanced mode (need balanced connection for your AMP)
Let m know if you need any other support

They also have the FA-22. The comments I posted are from FLUX, not from me.FA-22 is pretty similar to FA10PRO signature. Do you mean FA-12 ? Was it a mistake ?

Btw, I still have no clue which one to order. Let me know if you decide to order one.
