Whats your opinion? Im trying to make a decision? Looking for my first desktop for my D7000's. Currently using a D10

IMHO, C2C is equivalent to GS-1 not GLite. Checkout the C2C thread, there are several posters who like Denons with them.

Odd.. I find the GP Headphone pro to be the equivalent to the GS-1..

Here's a comparison of the C-2C (non-upgraded) with the $1499 Headroom Balanced Desktop amp.

@OP - I've heard both the Gilmore Lite and the Audio GD C-2C though not at the same time. I've tried both with a Denon D2000 and D5000. Both amps have enough juice to drive the Denons.

Since I own the C-2C and have spent a longer time with the C-2C (promo version), I would say that it actually has too much power for the denons, you'd probably want to ask Kingwa to lower the gain if you plan to use it with the D7000.

The C-2C was one of my best purchases as it gave life to my HD650 and my K701 (now sold).

I honestly cannot say which one is better between the amps, since I didn't audition them with the same source.
