How about the LME49720 and 2x LME49710 in dual DIP TO-99 socket, will they work, i've heard good things about them from the Asus ST thread, i also had them installed while i had the Asus ST, sounds great "very detailed"
 
Still have them both but not yet recieve the Matrix-M so i can't comment.

 
The LME49720 is the same thing as LM4562, just different part number. The TO99 packages supposedly sound better than the DIPs.

Just received the AMP (Version2) this afternoon (paid saturday received this morning

) and waw i am very very happy..i am listening right now to Jimi Hendrix vinyl (Electric Ladyland ltd editon 5000) and baby its rock Voodoo Chile..
 
For the moment This Amp (without opamping...) in combination with my modded grados 325is are very very good, very clear not overpowering bass and yeah no harshness no more that you sometimes can get with grados, i am very impressed and i have just 3 hours of burn-in...
 
 
This week i will get Senn 650 on loan i am curious i will get back to leave my impressions...
 
 
( For the opamps and other feel free to improve it with ideas....) i am in for suggestions

Lovely Cube.

Shanling PH100 has 2 inputs switchable from the front, no output. Great amp, Easily as good as the Matrix. Relatively unknown.
 
Shanling PH3000 has 2 inputs and 1 output. Also a great amp.
 
For some reason the Shanlings never caught on like some of the other amps.

x2  Shanling, FWIW, builds good stuff.  In addition to their own products, they do all the builds for Meier audio AFAIK.

Just a heads-up (and sorry if it's mentioned already); AudiophileChina is selling the MK2 for $209 (+$40 for shipping).

Thanks for the heads-up, just pulled the trigger...

 Good info, I'm almost buying there, only waiting for a email reply about shipping to my country.
 
 My DT880 600Ω is coming home, and hopefully in a few days this headphone amp too. It should be better to compare with my K701 before deciding which one to sell.

What DAC are you guys pairing the M-stage with?  Currently, I'm looking for a new DAC.

Cambridge Audio DACMagic - StereoPhile recommended component........or was it TAS?

Both recommended the Dac Magic Class C in stereophile

 

[gav007]

Is there any DAC that pairs well with the M-stage in the $200-250 range? I think the DacMagic would be out of my budget.

 

[BmWr75]

The Music Fidelity V-DAC is the other StereoPhile recommended affordable DAC.  It runs $299 I think.  The Behringer SRC2496 runs $199.
