Also for context: I am a touch treble sensitive and found the Auralic Taurus (with Qutest and VC) a touch on the sharp side, whereas I can crank up the Mini and get robust bass and punch down low without having to endure any high pitches.

Anyways, just some ramblings. In any event I love music and think the Verite, open or closed (have both currently, though I may part with the open) will keep a smile on my face for a very long time. And the Qutest and GSX-Mini to me really let the Verite shine and do their thing!

any other comparisons with the taurus?
I have had no issue (thus far) with the taurus and treble (all in check).

But wondering, other than that, is the gsx mini an upgrade worth considering due to other parts of it's offering?
I am happy with the taurus unless I missing something considerably better

thanks

Is that mine?
If so, I hope you got my email about my travel dates and being out of town...!

I’m curious about something:

I use the GSX-Mini with Verite Closed headphones and have been listening on low gain at about 11-12 o’clock volume. Balanced.

For those with VCs (or headphones of similar specs), where do you find your volume dial settling?

I’m sure other variables in the chain and music type, file type etc change things somewhat but I’m generally just wondering where people’s dial lands. Has anyone with a similar set up ever used an SPL?

I have the same headphones, but I usually adjust my DAC for volume control so I'm not sure I can be much help. For what it's worth, I usually leave the Mini around 2:00/3:00 on low gain running a balanced cable. The loudest I'll listen, and only when the source files are lower volume, is with the DAC putting out about 2V.

10 to 12 with my Auteur and HD800S. 8 to 10 with my Elex. Both on L gain.
One of my only complaints is that I wish there were 3 gain settings like the GS-X mk2, since I would like a bit more knob freedom.
Is the H gain pretty much for Susvara and HE-6?
