Niimbus US4 + Final D8000 - great dynamics, no worse soundstage, heavily weighted, sweet midrange, great strong bass, quite mild but very detailed treble, very big sound, overall great synegry.

Have you paired the Niimbus with your Sonnet Morpheus serving as DAC? If so, I would like to know how that sounds, especially, regarding the brightness you have mentioned.Thanks.

 

[vonBaron]

Yes, there no brightness at all, after time it's only sweet sound. To me Niimbus is more musical than my Pro ICan with tubes. Im just blown away by synergy with Morpheus.

Could I ask what power cord and interconnects you are using? I also have Morpheus and Niimbus, and I simply use PC as the music source.

 

[vonBaron]

Two Furutech FP-TCS21 and Tellurium Q Black Diamond XLR and listen via Roon.
I just love that clean and crisp midrange and powerfull bass.

How about the soundstage of the Morpheus/Nimbus pairing? By the way, my Morpheus is also paired with an Ambre, which is turn fed by an etherregen upstream.To be honest, I have never had any bad experience in pairing this chain with any amp, so far. I also use the Violectric V281, so I am familiar with Fried's house sound, if that is the appropriate name for it. I am currently just looking for an amp--the uber amp--that can ideally squeeze the last nth % of performance out of the chain, and the Niimbus has quite a high place on the list of contenders, which is why I am asking all these questions. The main headphones in use on this particular rig are the Susvara, the HD800, the LCD-4, LCD-i4, and LCD-x.

Like i write before soundstage is great, i don't heard any flaws paring Niimbus with Morpheus.

 

[acguitar84]

Do you like the Niimbus better than the gsx mini so far?

 

[vonBaron]

No doubt that Niimbus is better AMP than GS-X mini. But it cost almost 2.5x more...

I knew you'd say that, lol. Dang this hobby!! Glad you're enjoying the Niimbus!

 

[vonBaron]

Yes, i don't know where all my money go too.

 

[vonBaron]

For me Niimbus sound like hi-end tube amp, that liquid and sweetness...

US4+ is very transparent so gear matching should be taken carefully.

What DAC are you using and do you use its USB Connection?

For me Niimbus US4+ is first amp with which I don’t lose transparency provided by Dave.

 

[vonBaron]

Niimbus + Ether Flow 1.1 - very similar to D8000, big slam at bass, very liquid midrange and soft highs, i am shock how Niimbus open soundstage of EF.
It will be hard return to GS-X mini...
