Thanks mate. You got it right, this amp is no joke, eventhough the battery is a bit short in terms of autonomy. Nothing bad, but the HA-2 and the Chimera last much longer. Interestingly enough, they also are more powerful.

BTW, I am thinking about creating a « Romi » thread. There a few HF-members around here who already have lot to say about this company.

BX2 Plus should be here later this week :fingers_crossed: Kudos to @jmills8 for starting the revolution.
YES, I also head this idea. Let's do this! :xf_cool:

Am revisiting the starting point of my headfi journey - Colorful C4 and Etymotic ER4

Becareful not to slide volume up when putting in your pocket.

After all these years it is still an enjoyable pairing, however I forgot how deep the ER4 insert.
After half an hour my ear canals feel like they are bleeding!

Just got my BX2 Plus. I am currently waiting on a Plussound X8 4.4mm interconnect (and cable), so I'm only able to run it in SE mode for the moment (via an ALO Reference 8).

Couple of observations: heavier than before, which is not a bad thing as I feel the build is now better. There was a sort of rattling on the battery switch I had with the first BX2, which has now gone. The channel balance now seems much better, the volume knob also does not make that weird "scratchy" sound when dialling from 0 to 9. Typo on "input" remains. Oh well. I got the case that comes with it. Surprisingly nice quality, Italian leather evidently going by the label. Tight is fit, so I wouldn't advise pulling out (ahem). With my Lotoo Paw 6000, both fit really well into a Peli 1170 case. Recommended for travel (not that there's much of that).

Soundwise, I can't give a direct A/B with the first BX2 because it's since been sold. But it does everything I loved from the first BX2 but now with more finesse and more gusto: everything is sharper, more precise, and with more headroom to spare. I actually forgot that you could run two headphones (and I guess three, in theory) simultaneously. Very nice feature. Easily runs my AWKT and ZMF Vérité Closed without issue at once. I will try my 600ohm DT990s later. I am not an IEM guy, but I do notice it's not pitch black silent on high-gain mode with my AWKT. Low-gain is indeed dead silent, however.

Once I get my 4.4mm interconnect, I'll give more impressions (especially in regard to the Vérité Closed).
