Do you know if it works on S7 Edge? My phone is in for repair or I'd try myself.

 
With Android it's hard to guess. Only Android devices that I've tried both worked fine without the R Mod - Sony Z5 Compact and Onkyo DP-X1. However, the following don't work - iPhone 7 and AK380. I would need the R Mod for those.
 
The Chrome cover came out around Dec 2015 and is just cosmetics. It does pick up finger prints when swapping tubes.

Happy new owner of the CDM with stock tubes. Lots of choices between tubes at the moment.

Anybody know whats the best tubes for mids (300-750 hz) and treble recessed/lower (2khz and above) ?






Thankks for help

 
Nice!

And, I love your bands.

I tried out the WA8 pre production (last version before production). It is a thicker, warmer, more euphonic sound. It is 100% tube amp with transformer coupled output (Woo Audio custom transformers no less!). Very different than CDM so a matter of preference and also what headphones you use. I nearly bought one to use with my T5P, but went with the CDM because I find the latter to be more versatile with different sources and headphones.

You will not see a review from utube for both CDM and WA8. That's the way it is. However, there was a pro reviewer for WA8 with reference to CDM comparison, and that person refer to the amp from CDM: WA8 was a little bit too fatigue due too much tube sound.

I also heard both WA8 with my CDM at SF meet 2016.
WA8 was too much tube sound. Switched back CDM with stock tubes and the sound was refreshing. I guess I chose CDM at that time. I was listening to Utopia with QP1R as source.

Has anyone tried the Sylvania 6BF7 green in their CDM? I use 64 Audio U12s which tend towards a darker sound signature and was wondering if these may enhance the mids and highs somewhat.

Try Thomson 6021, they are more airy and little brighter than others, they excel at piano. Ob the other hand you get 5% bass reduction with Thomson from Mullard tubes.

I have these ones in my cart on eBay, do you know if they are comparable?

I'm asking as the Thomsons are from the UK and shipping takes forever to Mexico!

Those are UK made Mullard military tubes, they sound little darker, the Thomsons I was talking about are French made, I was talking about a few pages back.

Thanks for the clarification!

Does this work with the Sony xperia Z4 tablet?

I was also considering the WA8, but it's far too big to serve as a transportable amp (even though it seems to be marketed as such). It's considerably bigger than the CDM, and the latter wasn't small to begin with.
 
Still, thanks for the impressions. It'll be hard to test them together, since I won't be able to get them in the same place at once. Which would you think is better with warmer sounding IEMs? Most of my IEMs are warm, dark or bass heavy, so I'm thinking that a pure tube amp like the WA8 might be a little excessive in the warmth department. In that regard, the CDM (and the CV5) sound pretty perfect, IMO.

I used k10c and ie800 with CV5 and CDM. It's perfect as it is.
Waiting for my DHC sp3 braided 8 silver cable in couple of longgggg months to come for K10C.

I would stick with CDM. I tried 2 Noble IEMs with the WA8 - Savant and K10. Savant paired well but the K10 sounded too dark and heavy to my ears.
