Thanks now i need to find a dealer

I tend to like the 12bh7 tubes better than 12au7 (only 12bh7 I didn't like where a pair the GE tubes). Not sure who to recommend as a good tube dealer in you country. I bought some on eBay and some here on head fi. Here is a link reviewing some 12au7 and equivalent tubes.

What is the tubiest sounding dac/amp that xduoo makes? Looking for something that’s works on iems and easier to drive headphones. I don’t need a lot of power. Thanks

Would i be able to connect the aux out of the ta 20 to my ayima amp to power bass transducers while listening to through the headphones?

The TA-03s is on sale at Drop for $140. Seems to be the cheaper price ever.

The rca out bypassed the amp/tube section. You be able to use headphone with it. It's a fixed output so volume control doesn't work on the ta20 on the rca out, you have to use the ayima amp to control volume to the bass transducers.

Ok but in theory that will work?

Yes it would work. If looking for a used TA20 let me know I just upgraded my tube amp and thinking of selling mine. PM me if interested.

Just joined the Xduoo family!

Got my TA-26 last week - 1st time trying out tubes and I want to see (well hear) what the fuzz is all about pairing HD60X cans with tubes.

Now I understand...currently pairing with my RS2 and overall tonalty is smooth and warm. Bossa Nova never sounded this good!

Enjoying an all Philips Miniwatt (Heerlen) tube set run currently in my TA-30, Matched pair of E182CC SQ and a 5U4G
(E182CC to 12BH7 converters used). Very nice.... I like them even more maybe than my other 12BH7 tubes, also for those interested I tried them in my TA-20 and they work but on first power up from dead cold the TA-20 throws protect sometimes, but same happens with some other tubes (12BH7 and one pair of 12AT7) on my TA-20.

Also got that socket saver/tube riser for the MWT/Osram 6080/A1834 so it looks better, a more authoritative height now in the TA-26 giggle

I tried it and it works but the input aignal seems to strong. And the transducers even react to voices. Is there a fix? It works alot better from the sub out of my marantz avr

Does anyone have a TA26 that they use a preamp on a solid state amp to drive low-impedance headphones? I already have a Liquid Platinum amp, which is a great way to tube up some sensitive headphones, but I'm interested in exploring other options.

So, using the TA26 as a preamp, does anyone have any experience with this? Is it good?

I am using one but a portable AMP (Topping NX7) for my LCD2C and it sounds so better than straight out of TA-26.

My other low impedance headphones (KPH40 and FD7) sound great straight out of TA-26.

Something like this might work. There are more expensive options but would try something like this first.
