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
