I guess typical opinions. I saw many people in love with it. Then some guy says the amp is so-so. It is the "features" that make it sound so good? I do not want artificial fake good sound via crossfeed ETC. I want a good Amp.
Would you folks say Benchmark HPA4 is better?
I want a small high end SS Amp. I want to know it is good before I waste 3-4 Grand though. Which one would you say is better? I narrowed it down to those Two. I am using Z1R and Utopia with Silver Balanced cables from Axios.
I did read up on them. The issue is many say they are great, some don't. How can I form an opinion that way? I cannot listen in store but he will ship me for home audition. However not both at once! So I am asking you guy's. I feel either THX or crossfeed are fake sound but you can turn them both off. How are the Amps themselves?
I am going to trade in a RS Darkstar. The reason is even on Lo-Gain it is too powerful for these headphones. I think it is best to go at least half way on volume. On the RS I am on the second notch!
I am in Chicago but AXPONA is a PITA for me because I am in a Wheelchair. The Hotel is ADA compliant but the crowds make it too difficult. That is a shame but my own problem.
Thank you
