Received my luxman p750u a couple of days ago - gotta say I’m impressed. Really rounded out the sound signature, and in technical performance beat my auralic mk2 in every way.
Very clean and relaxed sound, with great soundstage and imaging. The bass is impressive too - even at low volumes it maintains a hefty level of impact.
One thing to note compared to the auralic - with the auralic I felt like the music was taking place in in some alien space, or a room with strangely shaped walls. With the luxman, the music is just taking place in my room.
Very happy

Guys I appreciate this is slightly off topic but would anyone know the power consumption of the TT2 in standby and it active mode ? I was hoping to leave the TT2 on all the time as I have handshake issues sometimes with my Auralic streamer ? Thanks againWouldn't it be better to run the Abyss phi on a Mscaler/HUGOTT2 combo instead of Mscaler/Dave? The HugoTT2 puts out:
Output power (unbalanced): (@1% THD) 288 mW RMS 300Ω; 7.3 W RMS 8Ω
Output power (balanced): (@1% THD) 1.15 W RMS 300Ω; 18W RMS 8Ω
versus the Dave:
1% THD 6.8v RMS with 300Ω (154mW)
1% THD 6.8v RMS with 33Ω (1.4w)
From looking at the numbers, the HUGOTT2 should have plenty of power to run the Abyss phi headphones.
And no connectivity issues would occur when hooking up the Mscaler to a HugoTT2.
The other, much more expensive option is to hook up the Mscaler to a Dave first and go from the Dave to an amp.
Hi there, I have a TToby on the way and of course I am very keen trying out the TC with it. I remember from previous posts that a couple of custom cable makers were mentioned. If anybody wants to sell a connector, please let me know .
I had planned to order from Moon Audio.

Everything is THE BEST when it comes out.
Let's see how it stands the test of time.
I doubt it drives the Susvara properly.
I've listened to the Bartok with the Abyss and the Susvara at the HIGH END show in Munich and it did not drive both. Full volume - no dynamics.

Has anyone tried AB-1266 Phi TC with Schiit Ragnarok 2?
Any impressions?

Plenty of power, obviously, fast with great dynamics. I preferred the WA33, but I like tubes. If you like the sound signature of the TC, as in the mids are to your preferance, the Rag 2 is a nice choice. Especially if you plan to drive speakers as well.
