Yes. And you will write a review about the combo!

Seems we have a recommendation for the Apogee Duet, too. Has anyone here tried the Duet/GS1000 combination?

Well, I bought the RS-1 instead, and once I hit about 500 hours on the Woo 6 (maxed WA6 with huge V-caps and BlackGates that need 1000 hours burn-in) it started to come awake, and the bass and soundstage filled in, and it sounds great with RS-1 now. I upgraded the rectifier tube to a Amperex Bugle Boy GZ34 made in Holland, and it got even better!

I have tried the Apogee mini-DAC/RS-1 combination, and the headphone out is pretty darn good with RS-1 as well - not ad good as the WA6 but certainly much better with RS-1 than the headphone out of my Macbook or Marantz CD5001.

Any experience with the Cayin iDAC? DAC and tube amp i one. Is the SQ comparable to the Apogees or to the Woo 6?

 

[Solan]

What about mini-DAC >> XLR-to-RCA >> GS-1000?

Or would this be a very quick way to waste one kilodollar of headphones?

Has someone tried the GS 1000 with the Apogee Duet?

Cheers

For the GS1000 what is the best inexpensive amp.

Please define "inexpensive"..
To me, GS-1000 will be the only major headphone around (next one may be PS-1000).
Since I'll stick with Grado, an used $200 RA1 is a "inexpensive" choice compare to many $300 up models outside Grado which may or may not suit for Grado phones..

As for RA1 clone, I compare RA1 clone and RA1 before, the sound signature is just gone.....
