New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
Sep 9, 2023 at 7:14 PM Post #2,688 of 2,814
Anyone have a rough idea on how much the HeadAmp CFA3 is going to cost? Considering putting down the 200.00 deposit but need to know a little more.
I asked to same question in the Susvara thread. Rumor mill reported back at $4K. Sounds like a reasonable guess.

@thehutch I'm aware of that option but it means all the hassle with import taxes, shipping etc. At this price point I'm sure there could be a local distributor otherwise some sales are missing.
Ah gotcha. Makes sense.

If anyone is looking for a mint condition Satin blue faceplate, screws and knob set for their GS-X Mini let me know, I've got one!

Bought a set to match my cables, so this is now extra. Its easy to swap just requires a small allen wrench set and a few mins.

If you've got interest just send me a PM, I'd do 50% what headamp charges for a set.

Well, I had a shootout here...

1) Questyle CMA Twelve Master (as an all-in-one).
2) DAC in the Questyle feeding a Benchmark HPA4.
3) DAC in the Questyle feeding a GSX mini.
4) Metrum Onyx DAC feeding the Benchmark HPA4.
5) Metrum Onyx DAC feeding the GSX mini.

After A LOT of listening there was a clear winner.
The Metrum Onyx with the GSX mini just sounds so much more enjoyable and sounds so much more to my liking. This is so damn good.

The system I just sold before this was a Holo Stack (Spring 3 KTE and Bliss KTE), driving a Susvara and frankly I don't miss it at all. The GSX is really enjoyable.
