Nice!! This makes me ask a question here, noob one I have the Oriolus BA300SJP Tube amp that is 4.4mm balanced out, and I love the sound that has since it brings the tube lushness to the mids. Can I use that as a preamp? Connect the R8 as a source to it, and from BA300SJP to the BX2 Plus?

This didn't work!

Why not? I am using the BA300s mkii as a preamp between Oriolus BD20 and Oriolus BA20.
Since BX2 Plus has a 4.4mm IN, I was thinking of replacing BA20 with BX2 Plus

I have no idea! I used the 4.4mm Bal out from R8 to 4.4mm IN BA300SJP and 4.4mm out from BA300SJP to 4.4mm IN BX2 Plus.

Not sure if I did something wrong?

BA300s takes a while to start. How long did you wait?

Hi people, would you recommend me the option: Sony zx300 + BX2 Plus + Audio Technica Awkt?

Well I have the AWKT with the BX2 Plus and the Lotoo Paw 6k, and I can tell you it sounds top notch. If you like the sound signature of the Sony, the BX2 Plus will accentuate that without colouring it.

How is your Lotoo and the Awkt without the BX2?

Very nice synergy (as is the AWAS, too) - detailed, linear, with a tight bass and a very articulate top end. The BX2 widens the soundstage, extends the bass, and tightens the overall presentation. The Lotoo has a fairly neutral sound signature, so it'll let the character of the headphones shine.

If I would like to get a warm/musical sounding ATH, which model up to USD 1.5K would you advise me to take? Open or closed-back is not relevant for me. Thanks!

Oh, this sounds very good. Maybe I don't need the amp but will try it out.

Definitely the AWAS. Plenty of warmth in the low end without sacrificing detail. Sounds great balanced directly from my Lotoo.

I would like to add the D9200 to that list as well!

Absolutely, I'm not personally a fan of the headband but they sound great.

Was there a 4.4mm to 4.4mm cable already in the box or did you buy one yourself?
