Same here.

Just received mine today and this amp is nice. Bit of a hiss but I think one of my tube is just defective/poor quality, I can hear the microphonics from it.

Can't wait until I roll these. Really impressed for sub $200 CAD hybrid amp.

what headphone are you using with it? Specs show a fairly potent amp so it may hiss some with high sensitivity iems and do better with high impedance over-ears.

Currently swapping between my HD800, HD820, Hifiman HE1000 V2.

The hiss has gone away after I reseated my tubes but the microphonics are still there.

Gotta agree that with at least the Sennheiser models there shouldn't be hiss from sensitivity. He1000 probably not either but not quite as hard to drive as the 800/820.

Yeah after some time, my left channel is having noise, buzzing, and popping sounds. I hope it is just the tubes, will replace the tubes and see if it fixes it from there. Will need to call Xduoo for the query as well.

When it is working, it's amazing lol. As I write this my right channel is also buzzing slightly.

I've been playing with the xduoo mt-602 for a day now and can't really hear any tubey sound. I've tried the stock tubes and Sylvanias. One thing that surprised me was that it seems a hell lot more powerful than the Magni 3 despite the advertised stats. So for at the same price I think this would be the better option.

For xDuoo TA-20 owners:
Can I connect my DAC to TA-20 XLR input, and then RCA out to another amp so the TA-20 function as pre-amp?

The description here says so:
https://drop.com/buy/xduoo-ta-20-balanced-headphone-amp#overview
"The TA-20 can also function as a preamplifier through the RCA out"

But a user left comment here:

"The description is incorrect. I have TA20 and it CAN'T function as a preamplifier through the RCA out. This is only signal pass through."

Interested in getting the TA-10R for my Focal clear MG. Have people on here experience with pairing Focals with xDuoo tubes?

Additional bonus question: is there anyone with pro version of the Clears and TA-10R? I am really curious if the red matches somewhat

MT-604 announced - balanced version of the 602 it looks like with independent volume controls per channel.

I just placed an order for one of these to tryout. What’s the consensus on sound and has anyone tried different tubes yet?

Working on reviewing it now. I've been using the Tone2pro to control volume and just set both knobs on the 604 to 90%. It does improve with other tubes but I'm not through with tube rolling it yet so can't say whats best yet. Early lead goes to the western electric 403a but still have several to go.

Nice, looking forward to reading more about this product before I get it. I know you’re in the process of writing your review, but can you comment on the bass on this amp?

Bass extension is somewhat tube dependent, but it has good impact even with the stock tubes. I don't think it elevates the bass as it seems to be pretty linear, but it does have enough power so that big hits don't sag it badly when you have 2 or 3 in succession.

Looks good in the dark but would definitely benefit from all 4 tubes rolled, how do you like it ?

Thanks, it sounds like the MT-604 is a nice gateway to getting some tube flavor. The specs look decent enough and I can’t wait to give it go. I think it will play nicely with my Utopia’s. We shall see
