I am using the Protector balanced in my bedroom laptop rig with HD600 and JH13Pro on a regular basis. My source is the Pico DAC-only and DACport. I did like the Pico Slim a little better with ES3X, so the 5G Nano/Slim/ES3X will be my portable rig.

(I am contesting hyperbole and superlatives, not trashing the Protector. I have not heard it and the feedback on here suggests that it is at least rather good.) |
