I wonder if anyone can explain this
With RS1 Apogee Mini-DAC (1/4 headphone jack, XLR) sounds pretty much like Citypulse DA7.2x + Heed CanAmp
which is weird.
but in my chinese speaker setup, I can hear higher level of clarity/detail, almost reaching RS1 level (in comparison to Citypulse)
How that's possible?
Could it be there is better impedancy matching of preamp with DAC ?
I must also say, I had problem (unsolved) of connecting AKG K1000 to terminal outputs of amp (Jungson JA-1/JA-99C )
It played ok on low volumes, but before reaching "proper" listening level, distortion in more demanding pasages was introduced, so by the time I reach listening level, sound was just brutally damaged.
Would some impedancy adapter help ?
thx
