Finally got my Japanese version via eBay. Only tested with SE at present on high gain with Andromeda Golds. The sound is fantastic, digs down deep, good separation. Only quick thoughts but this pairing is no issue and hiss is no problem to my ears. Using volume at about 50-70 depending on recording level, plenty more power available. I intend to get a balanced cable for the Andro’s but unsure which way to go at present. Player is also much smaller than I imagined, easily fits in the palm of your hand. Tidal sounds awesome too!
Will post more as I get used to it.
