Mid : Wagnus has better pronounce and sweeter and cleaner

Overall : Wagnus has better sq than Duet , these two amps have the same sound signature

Greetings, peeps!  I am wondering if anyone here has paired up the Epsilon S with a tera player and the TH-900's? I've read that the Epsilon and TH-900's are a great match here, but what about paired with a tera for source?  Just wondering what the synergy is with that combo.  If anyone can chime in, that would be awesomeness!! Thanks.

Thank you for the great info!
 
Wow, learning new things about AA batteries!  Didn't know there are LiFePO4 batteries in AA sizes!  Neither did I know there are AA-sized "fillers"
 
The concern about the battery requirement was the reason I went with the Kojo KM-01, which just needs 1 AAA Duracell battery...  I'm sure I'm missing out on the superior Epsilon S sound...

It is a silly question but I still want to ask, would you guys say black cube linear is a better amp than wagnus?


I don't think so
I heard Lehman black cube linear long time a go , SQ is warm sounding amp
Wagnus is very detail and better clarity and wider soundstage

Power could be Lehman black cube has bigger power than Wagnus
