Actual headphones. It sounds like if I want more bass that's my only option.

I might still get a set of earbuds for passive listening. Will probably order the Sunniva since Jim recommended me that for my music type.
Ok, you might be on the wrong thread if you're looking for headphone suggestions 😅

Hi all, I’ve been a pretty big TGXear fan for a few years. Question what would folks suggest a good amp/dac pairing for my DS, Revelstoke and Serratus Reds?
Basked on what others have said, a tube amp might be a fun way to switch up the sound.

In a similar note of asking questions about our collection...

I own the OG Serratus, Ripples, Tantalus? (500ohms) and the Sunniva.
Is something like the Desolation a huge upgrade worth getting?

Ive heard all but Sunniva, and my SSBX is a one-off that's similar to the DS but more musical (probably more bass). Back when I had all these sets, SSBX sounded different and more refined, but we really need to acknowledge diminishing returns with earbuds at this price range.

My two cents: DS or DS BS will sound different to all of your sets. Is it worth spending the full retail? Hmm, it's tough. If you can find a used set, I'd say do it, but otherwise it's a lot of money for a minute but distinct step up.

@ian91 @NookIsACrook what do you think?

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for one of those then. Yeah definitely I'm going to try to catch a used one.

Which one is the SSBX?
