I also always double amped with my Calyx M DAP (as it has no LO). It sounded great. No noise etc.

I also used the LPGT Ti‘s LO (which is adjustable) but this option wasn’t „better“ than the normal output of the Calyx M.

Hope this helps.

LOL lucky you.. I guess it really helps being a famous audiophile whose opinion is highly regarded.. since manufacturers will surely do their best to make sure you get the very best (or perfect) unit from their whole batch..

As for the rest of us, we usually just get a "thank you for your purchase, channel imbalance is a common occurrence at low volume and is within tolerable manufacturing deviations, enjoy your unit!" At least that's my past experience with a few manufacturers (and Fokta's too maybe?)

Btw, what did you test the Romi amps with at very low volume? Did you try them with high sensitivity iems?
BX2+ and BX2Pro are not designed for IEMs. You have to get the Romi Audio Amp for IEM, which I don't think it's on their website. Which is specifically designed for IEMs.

Standard version use LME49710, but the Pro version uses the SA100 R Version.

The SA100 would be uncoloured. But the LMe49710 obviously has a slight tilt warm characteristics.

Any more details on specs/parts, etc? Website is thin on details.

What's the "Romi audio amp for IEM"? I didn't see anything about that before.

I have never heard about that either but would be cool. I wish there were three gain settings. Sometimes low is dead silent and high is pretty bad his. A setting in between would be perfect
New "Pro" model apparently does have 3 gain settings.

I had the Plus and non-Plus model. The first non-Plus model had some channel imbalance at low volume, but the Plus model was much better in this respect. No problem with IEMs.

This the prototype months ago for the ROMI Audio Amp for IEM. The body is quite thick actually. It's sole use is for IEMs, and it can do Headphones as well. BX2 are ok with IEMs, but some people do require better, so Romi Audio designed this. And it's opamp replaceable friendly. But if you prefer really 💯 uncoloured, stick with the SA100.

Received my bx2+ yesterday. This thing is relatively light! I like the choice of which I’m assuming is aluminum. I’m using primarily with Diana v2 and iems. Initial impressions were with iems, Moondrop variations.

I didn’t notice any channel imbalance and I don’t go past 8 o’clock. I’m using amp 11 Mk2 on dx300. I want to say there was a way more dramatic increase in sq with variations vs Diana v2 on my jotunheim v1 and with my imr elysium on dx300. The transient response in variations was significantly better with more bass impact and speed and lots more treble detail.

I haven’t listened to variations on jotunheim v1 so I this might be why there was such a stark difference for me. I could definitely pick up a background “hiss” on elysium but it was more like a background “hush” 😆 I do listen to some vinyl rips BUT really didn’t notice any background music once a track was playing.

Out of the box, I received about 3 hours of listening on low gain. Very pleased with this product even though I haven’t really even used it for what I bought it for being the Diana v2. It just beefs up my iems like no other device (q5k, es100, dx300, jotunheim v1, lotoo paw s2) ( I also have a megatron otw from VE)that I have and em enjoying some great listening sessions.
