Hi, can you help me out? I used to have a Micro iDSD BL, but after listening to some really high end stuff like the Luxman DA series I felt that my Micro iDSD BL sounded thin, harsh and congested so I was looking for an upgrade. Funnily I figured out that the iDAC2 despite its low price was exactly what I was looking for. So I bought one about a month ago. I also want to get my hands on a Micro iUSB3.
While I do not intend to upgrade the digital part of the audio chain any further, I do want a more "tubey" sounding amp for my Beyer T1 2nd gen. I came across this product (iTube2) and to be honest I just don't understand why this product exists. In all the reviews people are using it with an ss amp and they claim the sound became smoother, less fatiguing, less "digital" sounding. In other words it's exactly what I'm looking for. However that raises the question, instead of softening up an ss amp that the listener finds to be too harsh, why not just buy a thick, heavy sounding tube amp like the Feliks Elise? Why buy a workaround when you can buy the solution? Why add flavor to a system you don't like instead of building the system you do?
