Looks interesting, would there be an option to buy not on massdrop?

This amp does NOT get enough love. It is seriously a great little box. It's a part of the Shenzen Audio scene like Audio-gd and it has serious chops. I love tube-rolling with it and the surface-level balancing is great for long runs and custom cables. Plus the components are actually really good quality. It's not without its foibles but I really like this. I got it from the aforementioned Massdrop at a pretty steep discount from what you'll find it on the web now, and I have to say it is STILL worth every penny at its current price.

So just got an NFB.11 and this thing is comparably as loud with a T50RP, it's more powerful than a NFB in low gain but maybe 80-85% when it's in high gain. So it's loud and the SQ is also comparable.

So you get something as good as an NFB with XLR & Tubes, I am selling mine but now in two minds.

Hi, the preamp output or line out of the xDuoo TA-10 is fixed or variable? Can I switch between both? Also, if it is fixed, do you know the output voltage of this? Maybe 2V., Thanks.

Bought my second, almost on par with a mono-price THX for quality, perhaps a little less detail in exchange for tube flavor.

I have this and like it. with as much power as it has, it struggles to power my he1000v2s though. I thought 2w would be more than enough but i have to crank it to beyond 80 to make my ears bleed

I think 2 watts is my minimum, it can get the T50RP to distortion so I am happy. It's amazing how many amps don't have this power for instance the topping dx7 does not even have 1 watt.

Yah, with 2w i thought it would be excessive. Was plenty for the audeze 3, 4z and mx-4s but not so much with the 1000v2
