Which is the best sounding dap for og empy?
I have ibasso dx170 but I want to upgrade. THX

Hiby RS8. Best sounding DAP with OG Empy I have heard so far.
I really do like the pairing with AK Kann Cube, but the RS8 is even better.

Even better sounding than it with the N30LE?

I enjoy OG Empy + hybrid pads with both and personal preference is N30LE in Hyper / Tube Modern (less colored and warm compared to Classic)

I am considering an all in one desktop DAC/AMP for the Meze Empyrean I. Do you have any recommendations?THX

Meier Audio Corda Soul. It's one of the best sounding AIO's out that no one is taking much about.

Thx, but It cannot process DSD

Gotcha, I didn't realize you were looking for DSD processing. That makes it a little bit tougher to find an AIO that does this at a reasonable price.

My Og empyrean cam in today. Pretty happy with them. I fell in love with them about a year ago, but wasn't able to jump on them. At the time, I preferred them over the elite, lcd-5, Stealth, Rad-0, Ether 2, lcd-x, utopia, and my lcd-2c. I hope to get by moon audio in the near future to compare them to the empyrean II and the elite and see if I still feel the same.

Im using the schiit lyr3 with multibit dac and vintage tubes and it is a heck of a setup.

Even better sounding than it with the N30LE?

1. The N30LE is limited edition, difficult to purchase. Not to mention the monetary difficulties. Btw - we still did not hear about other wishes or restrictions.

2. The N30LE manage to tame the midbass emphasis of the Empy (which I like - the emphasis, not the taming ) and add a remarkable extension/detail elevation on the highs. I switched to the Empys after a few months exclusive usage of the Elites with the N30LE, wishing for the good old meaty sound signature. With the N30LE it produced something different. Took some time to get used to it and appreciate. Replacing N30LE with RS8 gave the good old feeling immediately. It is a personal preference, but I like the OG Empy on RS8 more.

Great help THX!
RS8 and R8 is similar or RS8 is way better?…

I just find a good deal in my country for shiit lyr+ ( I’ve never tried tube amps)
What do you think is it good with my topping d70s dac ( good or bad synergy) or I need to buy multibit to get the sound you talking about?

You don't have to have the multibit to have the synergy, but my lyr3 has the built-in module, so it's convenient and the mutlibit is just a bit nicer than the standard dac option they offer.

With the right tubes, it will sound pretty amazing. I really like the 1950s vintage foton 6n8s. You can still get them pretty cheap from the Ukraine

Thank you man! Can’t wait to try it!
