Listening with the latest firmware for the past couple of days.. and I'm very impressed.  TCM mode.. this is now one of the best 9018 implementations I've heard.  LH seems to have done a really nice job mitigating that Sabre "glare."  Great job, Larry!

9018 or just the k2 or w/e is in the go?

 

[cocolinho]

K2 I believe

Damn the Driver 2.23 + Firmware 1.5 on TCM combo gives me another level of listening.

Just can't get over it. This tiny usb stick, this level of SQ.....

It's like having a new better DAC...

Considering a geek out 720, geek out 1000, or the ifi Nano iDSD. Has anyone here listened to all of them? At present the geek or iDSD would be driving RE0 and KRK KNS8400. As you can tell from my ear gear, I like a neutral bright sound. Improving the relatively small soundstage of both of these phones would be good, but not at the expense of imaging. I'm considering adding a pair of Q701s to my headphone stable, and potentially a nuForce Primo 8, but I'll have to save the coin for the nuForces.
 
Does anyone have experience with any of these phones and the geeks and/or iDSD? I hope all the helpful folks of Head-Fi have some helpful help.

Like both filters, overall sound much improved, surprising

I have the Q701s and 720 and find it to be a great pairing. there is more than enough power to allow the q701s to really open up.

I'm kind of excited about the Schiit Fulla (or is that vice-versa?) - $79 bucks!

 

[glassmonkey]

Interesting indeed. But the question for me is whether the Schitt Fulla will support native DSD. Looking at the spec sheet, it looks like the AK4396 can play DSD, but the question will be whether it converts it to PCM to do so. I've looked for an official news release with more stats, but I don't think we'll be hearing more until after RMAF. Additionally, Schitt has been harder to get in Europe, so that may be a consideration.

What interests me is that the Yggdrasil will be there. I really wish i could go there. Anyway the reason i am interested in the Yggy is this post:

glassmonkey I can't tell if you're joking.. Schiit is anti dsd and have no plans on adding it to anything
