Gotcha thanks. Which DAP did you replace the P1 with if you don't mind me asking.

I already had an AK240SS, and kept it out of the two, for two reasons : the SS had a slight edge on clarity, even if the P1 paired better with some iems, and more importantly I would have lost more money selling the AK.

Very Cool. I originally got the ZX2 but I feel like the Cowon is more musical and something about it only doing music appeals to me.

Is this a capless setup or you have caps in the LOD?

Generally I go completely capless, but with the 880 250ohm, I turn the gain up for a little more volume so this LOD has caps in it, as the volume cuts out about 12oclock without caps. So for the harder to drive stuff, I use a capped LOD. For my W40 IEMs, it's capless bliss.

I used the W40 capless this morning, this afternoon I'm going open backed cans :-D

Agree you probably need the capped lod for that extra ceiling without distortion to drive the big cans, but for iem's the capless setup is a beast delivering that sound purity. I am still amazed today since going completely capless more than one year ago, especially with the direct-out mod completely bypassing the board from the dac. I keep saying this and you should try a capless lod using the Homegrown solid silver with cotton underwear.

Couldn't agree more. Would love to use silver wire and do the direct line out and by pass the board. That's the one think I'm missing from my setup.

This is my IEM setup. Solid silver LOD cable(capless), and Westone W40 IEMs with a silver litz cable. :D :eek: :cool:

The way it's modded now is with copper. Had Red Wine Audio do the iMod almost 2 years ago
