CMA600i is a fantastic unit on its own but I have to say it benefits from an upgraded dac. I paired it with the dac section from my Gustard A20H (dual AKM AK4497 chips) and the sound was better all around. Anyone else had good experiences pairing the CMA’s awesome current headphone amp with a different dac?
I have my modified Musical Paradise MP-D1 tube dac going into the 600i. It is a brilliant Hybrid combo with the right tubes. The neutrality of the 600i really lets the sound of the MP-D1's tubes shine. I absolutely think this is endgame with my Audeze LCD-3s.
