I guess low gain mode is a bit more neutral and in high gain mode the mids feel like they are pushed a tiny bit forward.

All OK. Forget it.

High gain with Diana V2 provides a more expansive staging and I also feel the mids are pushed forward just a tiny bit but in a good way. For hi-res files, volume level with high gain is at around 11 o ‘clock position, whereas low res files usually only at around 9 o’clock.

The fact that you guys are saying Abyss headphones can be driven with BX2 Plus gives me a lot of joy!

The only negative is that the Abyss TC will suck the battery fast on high gain (didn't exactly time it honestly ) but it'll be a dynamic and low-end filled fun listen!

I know bud! I only use the amp on high gain and I get around 5 hrs! That's my only complain but it does charge rather quickly though!

It would be maybe good to have a mid-gain level, for the next iteration of the product. The jump from low to high is pretty steep. My planars don't that much of a gain, but I like the slight mid push of high gain. Also there is a slight hiss with high gain (both with Solitaire P and D8000) when no music is playing but becomes inaudible as soon as the music starts.

I also had the thought about mid-gain...it is a huge jump between L & H.

My BX-2 Plus has just arrived!
I unfortunately traded away my Diana Phi while I was waiting so the most difficult thing to drive I have is the Edition 15.
Clear and wide sound, I’m enjoying it with the E15s greatly. I havnt had much time with it yet, but I was surprised how light it was when it arrived, except for the size it is very portable

Welcome to the fast growing BX2+ owners club!

Just got a pair of Stellia and Utopias in today and I am enjoying the amp with them.
High gain has way too much power, I can barley get out of the channel imbalance before it’s loud, the imbalance area is very small like the first degree or two from volume “0”
I kind of wish I had held in to the Diana’s until this amp arrived

Great! With which source do you listen? How does the Stellia sound with the BX-2+?

I’ve been switching between M15 and Paw Gold, trying to decide what I like.
I don’t have any balanced cables for them yet so just 3.5 from the BX-2, the Stellia seems like it has better extension up top and tighter bass, it feels clearer and not as mid focused.

edit* the picture made me remember I was also switching between the Dakoni Stellia pads... I’ll have to go back to stock and report again

Been going back and forth with the Stellia and M15 so I don’t get confused (stock pads) the bass seems a bit more controlled with the BX-2 but not overpowering, overall I don’t really get that much change in the Stellia. Do you find they are better with a desktop amp or not much change?
