OK, I can't believe I'm compelled to say this...but for the record, the LAu drives every headphone I have, including the HE-6, without breaking a sweat. If I were to max out the volume, it might kill me.


You are right now between these Two High End Amps Do not have problem With The Power anymore
He found out the mistake was on his LOW gain Weiss DAC

Rudi,It looks so good! How does it sound?


Here is the answer George :

My state of the art set up for headphone world
Source : April music Stello CDA 500 as transport
Dac : Chord QBD 76 HDSD
Amp : T+A tube pre amp V 10.2
Mass Ko Bo 394
Headphone : LCD X , LCD XC , Abyss 1266
Cable : Shunyata Zetrone series RCA and COAX
It can drive in Excellent SQ various headphones from easy to drive like Fostex TH 900 until hate to drive like Abyss 1266
Now I am confuse shall I jump / exchange my Hugo to this top tier DAC from Chord QBD 76 HDSD ?
It is another level of Chord Hugo
I never heard my abyss sound so good like today
It is very difficult to make decision
I have tried / owned DACs like follow :
eximus DP 1
M2Tech Vaughan
Bakoon dac
calyx Fempto
Compare to these 4 DACs , Chord QBD 76 HDSD is the winner
Has fuller sound , better clarity and detail ,very sweet and clear mid , very good bass Impact and bass speed and very deep as well
3 D soundstage very good separation
IMO
