Hi
My previous JH Rixanne universal was very hard to find the right source = source revealing

In certain music genre sound quality was excellent , but wit other daps or other songs was not so good

This custom I just tried about 8 hours , I have tried direct AK 120 Titan is very good
With Bakoon amp SQ is excellent
And JH Rixanne CF custom is not so source revealing like my previous JH Roxanne univesal .
I heard on my JH Roxanne CF bass is more controlled and tighter compare to my lrevious JH Rixanne universal

Imo

Ah, ok. Now I got it. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

I think since CF Roxannes take 10 months to make, they take 5 months for the burn in

Wow the build time for a CF Roxanne is getting longer. I remember the time when 6 months waiting was a real shocker

I am absolutely agree with you Michael

I just received my custom Roxanne's (non-CF) in two months from order date to delivery.  The JH Audio website is quoting 30 - 45 business days for non-CF customs.  That's about right.

After I burned in my JH Roxanne black CF about 40 hours with variative set up , I found my set up below as one of my best set up :

Source : AK 240
Pre amp : Wagnus Valvola tube pre amp / tube buffer prototype 000
Amp : Wagnus Epsilon S prototype 000
CIEM : JH Roxanne black CF with bass setting : at 9 o'clock = 0.00 DB
Cable : AK 240 > tube pre amp Valvola : IC Crystal Cable Dreamline
Tube pre amp Valvola > Wagnus Epsilon S : IC Crystal Cable Standard Diamond

High : very smooth and rich in detail
Mid : very sweet and intimate with little bit sibilance
Bass : very good impact and very deep bass
Separation : very good music separation
Soundstage : very wide and very good depth

Overall :
During my burning time , I found out my JH Roxanne CF is not as dark like what heard from friends and what I read here on head Fi
JH Roxanne CF sound character as follow :

AK 240 : I heard smooth and warm to dark sounding JH Roxanne CF

AK 240 + Chord Hugo : i heard very good in detail and bright sounding JH Roxanne CF
Mid a bit sibilance but does not disturb me

AK 240 + Bakoon HDA 5520 : my JH Roxanne CF sound so full with rich in detail and extended high
Very thick and clear mid and very tight and fast bass

In my opinion JH Roxanne CF is not dark , the sound character will be change follow your source and amp
Character .JH Roxanne CF need very good amp to get the maximum sound quality
If the power not enough like direct my AK 120 Titan mod or AK 240 sound character is warm to dark
I like my JH Roxanne CF if I pair with DAC and amp .

IMO

Only rudi would use a tube pre-amp in a portable rig.

I don't know that I quite agree with this.  Rather, I'd say they need a very quiet amp and a very, very good source.  I just scored some next level converters in the form of a Prism Lyra 2. Listening from the Lyra's DAC & headphone amp took my Roxannes to a higher plain.  Using the Lyra DAC and the Leckerton amp is almost the same, apart from the Leckerton's slightly bright signature.
