no, all Solid state amps will only sound the same, if all requirements of the headphones and your listening level, THD and so on is above what the human ear can hear, then it sounds the same.
I do agree that a lot of amps and dacs do sound the same but they are just the same amount IMO that do not. But to each there own I don't follow the zeos mentality
Could you list me all dac/amps, that do not sound the same in your opinion please? If i get the chance to compare, i would do that. don't list tube amps and such, because they will obviously sound different.
This is like when someone who has never taken a statistics class insists that the odds of anything happening are 50/50 "because it either will or it won't."
No. That's not how that works.
I don't care about statistics, all i care about are facts and the fact is, all dac/amps i have tested do their job as they should and nothing else.
The funny part about the audio world is, as soon as i invite people even nearby to come and test themself, first blind and then open and do it themself for the process to accept of how things are all that barking vanish and they never talk back ever again, because of fear they might be wrong.
You know, when i was doing some testing at a dealers place, i asked the owner and some staff members, when they had a ton of free time to chit chat, if they want to listen for just a moment, they turned their tails and run off, telling me they had to do something, but were glaring at me for more then half an hour instead comparing their stuff. Some told me, it needs to be done without stress in the evening, so i asked them to come over to my place or i would visit them at home if that's better because we live in the same town or just met on neutral ground somewhere else in a nice quiet place.
Do you know what happened? Planned holiday, someone to take care of, too many kids at home at all times, no time for no reason yada yada. It's the same every single time. But i can understand the dealer's perspective, they have to earn money.
Take a Sennheiser HD 800, plug it into a Violectric V200, and then in a Bryson BHA-1 and tell me they sound the same.
I know someone in Munich that got the V200, but he is literally living on the other side of Germany, not sure if we will ever meet, but i could ask him if he would rent me that thing for a couple of days, not sure if he is willing to send it to me though, as we know each other just online.
