Introducing the xDuoo TA-32 DAC/Hybrid Class-A Tube Amp - Now Available on Apos Audio

[JeffJ]

Im seriously considering this. It's between this and a FiiO K17.

me too!

 

[Sandor121]

me too!

They feel like VERY different products. The xduoo seems to me to be more about the raw sound and the Tubes' influence over it while the Fiio is like a audio tweaker's dream. It is a swiss army knife of dac/amp/eq/streamer/DDC. The sound is also gonna sound more like a discrete solid state amp vs a tubey sounding amp like the xduoo.

Anyone know what the socket type/material is on this unit?
Torn between grabbing one of these or a deal on a WA7 Fireflies 3rd gen. Don't suppose anyone here has managed to hear both?

2x 12AU7 Tubes for amplification stage and a 5u4g rectification tube. What do you mean by material?

Oh if they were using ceramic, ptfe or another material.

no idea, sorry

Yes the "Tube" RCA out on the back is a preamp running through the circuit. There are balanced and single ended inputs that run though the preamp stage.

Does the tube buffer add gain?

Yes changing the gain level will affect the tube pre-out as well as the headphone outs

Another toy alike designed amp from xduoo

To each their own I guess?

Personally I love how TA-22 looks (much more than this TA-32). Sleek and modern.

I swapped some tubes and they look and feel ceramic.

 

[Syan25]

I'm looking forward to getting one but it's a couple of months waiting. On Hifigo, it's a month before it can be delivered.

Wow this looks fantastic, enjoying my ta-20 plus with mullards

 

[Ian Origbo]

If this had a remote I won't think twice. I'll get one straight away. My system is far from listening chair.

Anyone here ever try Cayin HA-3A please give some impression how it's compare with TA-32 on SQ alone. I know it's different device but I really want to know how these two compare. Thank you very much

Also how ZMF Atrium sound with TA-32 if anyone have it, thanks again
