Not going to bother. It's probably not worth it as the person seems already predisposed to his opinion, and since I have no experience with the ZMF headphones with my amps, I would likely be taking things too off topic. He's illogically categorizing any opinion which praises an amp alongside the ZDS as another example of what he says is hype-fi, lumping this together with the eccentricities of some members on the Elise thread. This is a logical error. The 339 is also not a FOTM amp because it is not very popular, nor was it when I purchased it.
I have been living with the 339 for two years and the ZDS for one, and I will take more stock in my own opinion. They are both great amps and are different enough to suit different preferences and moods, kind of like the Atticus to the Eikon, if you will. The ZDS is the better amp for me in some cases while the 339 is in others.
Fair enough, and we already chilled it down. I just couldn't defend the posters in this thread who were insulted as I had no first hand experience with the ZDS. I thought my suggestion that the 339 compared favourably to the ZDS for some who owned both was founded. Anyway, as you say, not really worth it and better to take the high road. I just got my back up as the poster told me "don't do this" when I suggested somebody else may want to check out the 339 thread to decide if they might try it. I don't like when people become forum cops in situations that don't call for it. Cheers, hope you are doing well.
