I’m happily using my iFi Zen DAC via a balanced connection. I can’t compare it to anything else as it’s my first and only amp but the music sounds great. I’ve got a million hours with my Klipsch KLF-20 full sized speakers via separates and an AVR so I know what the music should sound like and I have zero complaints with my T1.2’s.
Many years ago I had a tube (valve) amp - a Little Dot MkIII. The sound was so beguiling and endearing! Once the world stabilises a bit and I've saved up some cash, I'll be getting a tube amp for my T1.2's.
Aside from the Feliks Audio valve (tube) amps, is anyone else using a valve amp with their T1.2 headphones that produces impressive sound quality? XLR balanced inputs would be a bonus.
new t1 v2 owner here..enjoying it so far nice to know from users here it can get even better...roughly how many hrs in your experience this takes to fully break in?
A lot. It took me about half a year of regular use. They started out congested and overly bassy but have developed a wonderful sound signature. Smooth and natural with plenty of soundstage. I now like them more than my previous HD800 which were fatiguing and harsh in comparison.
Another type of break-in these have is the headband. The vice grip is insane, I could barely wear them for half an hour out of the box. It's only getting tolerable a year later.

I love how 'stretchy' and flexible the headband is and the clamping force is 'just' right. I don't consider the grip tight at all. Feels better than the HD6 series. I can comfortably wear these longer than most other headphones out there. Just like sound preference, we all have different melons to contend with.

Compared to the DT1770/DT1990 clamp the T1/T5p clamp is non-existing (for me, ymmv). I ended up selling the DT1770 for just that reason: my head is just not overly compatible with the pro clamp.
Sorry if this was answered somewhere in this thread already; I searched to no avail. Is there a difference between the normal silver edition vs. the black “ninja” edition? I see the black version sold for several hundred less, so I’m wondering what the deal is. Thanks I’m advance!
