  I'm suprised there's been almost no DX90 rigs so far. 

Why not add your one

I've gone over the entire portion of the CLAS thread from where the CLAS -dB is announced until the latest post but there seems to be a general lack of comparisons between the original CLAS and the -dB and impressions of the -dB in general. Can anyone here give a comparison between the original Wolfson chip and the CLAS with the AKM chip?


Thanks everyone. I love this thread.

Class Solo Original :
High : more presence than Class DB , faster Speed and very good clarity
Mid : Slightly forward , better clarity and better pronounce
Bass : very Good bass impact , better bass Speed and faster than Class DB
Separation : very Good separation
Soundstage : Wide With very Good Depth
Power : has more Power full than Class DB

Class dB 2,00 VRms Version:
High : is smoother with very good clarity , class original more presence
Mid : sweeter mid , but Class Original more pronounce
Bass : very good , but Class Solo has better bass speed , class solo original more to mid bass
Separation : very good , it is better than class original solo
soundstage : wider but Jess depth than class solo original

For hard to drive headphone :
Class original is more shining because has faster speed and bigger power

Minus : only Single Ended

For iems and easy to drive headphone :
Class DB 2,00 VRms is better , SQ is smoother

Plus : can use full balance set up

IMO

Thanks for the feedback on this!  I've been using my original CLAS for so long and have been so happy with it, I only recently started wondering about getting the newer model or a new DAP.  Seems like I'm good for a while longer!

Just wanted to show off my new UE 900s' (yes 900s - the new version) I'm not use to the over-the-ear style of iems and I will admit that learning how to get these babies properly seated is a bit frustrating but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Contemplating getting a pair of Grado GR-10's to try out and which ever I like more stays :)
I'm still waiting on my FiiO E18 to show up hopefully today. And I'm still trying to decide on which player to use also to root or not.
