Alo Audio CDM has natural, warm sound with a huge stage. Elastic and velvety, at the same time energetic and fast. That feeling, when music takes on flesh and blood, begins to breathe, breaks out beyond digital dryness.

Wow. What a description!!

(I used to happily own the cdm until i moved away from portable listening but) i used to only simply describe the cdm as “good“.

I use it as a desktop amp fed by a full size DAC and the result is glorious!

Anybody tried using the CDM with Windows 11, using the Windows 10 USB driver?

What tubes are you using with it?

Now I'm still a neophyte, so I want to enjoy the stock first, then slowly enjoy the upgrade to Mulard or Sylvania.

I have tried about 7-9 pairs of different tubes, but finally returned to stock ones. I guess that is reference tubes for CDM, I l like stock sound more that any other tubes sound in terms of SQ.

Anyone here willing to sell me a modified amp8 please?

[singleended5863]

The SQ changed if it depends to interconnect cable too since I tried different one that sounds not too musical as the stock one?

If anyone has a CDM they'd like to sell, I'm buying. I've regretted selling mine for years, thank you.

so happy to find CDM folks on this forum. Has anyone had success getting apple music lossless play at 192khz? I can only manage to get my CDM to play at 44/48khz even though i'm certain the file I downloaded is (and all the settings are set to) 192khz (audio files are 250mb+). I've yet to see the blue light.

I am a real techie guy but to my knowledge CDM is only designed for 44.1. Correct me if I am wrong!

What are you using as your source?
