This combo is indeed superb. Shanling H7 & 109 Pro.

Don't worry, vendors have tripled their sales since this became law.

The biggest fear in internet shopping was buying the wrong stuff.
Now that this risk has been removed (14 day return) sales have skyrocketed

My next purchase will be the H7. How do you like it?

Been listening to these through the Bifrost 1 Multibit and Burson Soloist Mk II - quite a nice pairing.

Thats awesome, have you compared the H7 to any other similar dac/amp? I just got the 109's and currently pairing it with Gryphon but considering the H7 given its better power output.

Reminder that 109 Pro sounds great on Fiio K9 Pro. Super linear and clean sounding without being too dry. Pretty wide, too. And gobs of power to spare in balanced mode.

Yep on my try list for sure. Just feel a portable dac/amp or DAP is preferred. I seem to like to listen in different places throughout my home.

I believe that many followers of this thread are/have been users of the HD-800/800S/8XX so this survey by @Sennheiser must be interesting:

It’s great. Probably beats most of the DAPs I tried in and around its price range, at least better than Shanling M6 Ultra & M7, and Kann Max for me.
Purely for IEMs and easy to drive headphones only though.

I had used iDSD Signature for a while before and heard Gryphon. H7 is much better sonically than both. But Signature, being more powerful is best equipped to be used with headphones. H7, is just for IEMS and easy to drive headphones like the 109 Pro here and in this it excels.

Has anyone tried the 109's with a tube amp? I have a Shortest way sw51+ and I'm wondering if they will work well with it.

I will be using Lotoo Paw Gold Touch and Sony NW-WM1Z...possibly Questyle QPM.

I listen to 109 with the Mojo 2, I equalized the bass at +3db, enjoy

Meze customer service is EXCELLENT. Antonio, Toca, and company are top shelf. Great, just great. I wanted the wood grain on both earcups to more closely match. One side must have had a knot in the wood. They accommodated me. You can buy with confidence from the Meze online international store.

From my understanding, low-impedance-high-sensitivity cans usually don't work so well with tube amps. I did try the 109 Pro with my tube amp initially but didn't really like the sound as it made the sound too warm. My amp also has no gains setting so it added a bit of noise floor but the ones with an adjustable gains might address that.
