600 Ohms max

No LOL, I am not looking to spend that kind of money, and I have no way to demo the Dave. Dave is safe from me...



The Verite is 300ohm. The TA does a decent job job with it, but I think I may eventually need an external amp to get the very best out of the Verite. With that in mind, folks have said that my RME ADI-2 is a pretty good DAC, and would match up well with a tube amp that is higher impedance (than a Solid state amp like the TA or RME), which is good for the Verites.

Damn, you're stiirring my audioneurosis. If you do this, as Verite and TA-Z are what I too have, and maybe go for the ampsandsound Mogwai SE and the RME, well, tell us about it, since that's my fantasy...

oof any of the zmf headphones are made for tube amp. Mogwai is definitely a great amp for verite. Curious if TA -> tube amp will be a good pair

Well, I did upgrade my amp from the TA to the GS-X Mini. The Verite opened up with better soundstage, better definition of instruments, and better control over the bass. It was a noticeable improvement.

A lot of Verite owners say tubes make for the ultimate amp for the Verites, so the Mogwai is probably an even better choice that the GS-X Mini. I just didn't want to mess with tubes at this time.

The TA is a fine dac/amp, but if you can afford the Mogwai (with the RME), it will probably bring more out of your Verites.

ah okay, thanks, I didn't realize Apple had moved to USB C on their latest iPads. My iPad Mini 4 still has the lightening.

So far only the iPad Pro series come with USB-C, others still using lightening.

I see, okay, thanks. Gee, you must've been digging to find that post. What else did you find back there? I've had my TA now for about ten weeks, and I'm loving it more than ever (with my IER-Z1Rs). Wouldn't be able to listen to it though without putting my (local) high-res files through the EQ of Amarra Luxe. But boy, I'm still finding the end result amazing!

How does this compare to the THX 789? Im thinking of upgrading for my Sony Z1Rs

Hallo to everybody...
The TA Sony is working with any Android system like Samsung Tablets etc?
Anyone compared Sony with new Topping A90 or Benchmark HPA4?
Anyone have take measurements of TA (SNR, THD for example)?

The TA will work with anything.
Don't know.
Why? Listening is the best measurement tool.

Hello. Would such setup work please? Thanks for advice.
PS-HX500 (LINE OUT) -> TA-ZH1ES (LINE IN) -> TA-ZH1ES (PRE OUT) -> CMT-SX7 (LINE IN)

Yes

Thank you. In specs it says it has 314mm depth lenght. What is the total depth length of TA-ZH1ES, including the inserted (power) cord cable until the point where the cable can be twisted? Anyone having this amplifier, could you measure please as my potential space where to place it is limited.

14" from the front (not including the volume knob) to the end of a twisted power plug...

I‘m real curious about how the Topping DX7 Pro compares to the TA and how the IER-Z1Rs would sound with the Topping. Can you really get the performance of the TA for much less than 1/3 the price?
