Hi, head-fi help please:
What is the difference, please, between 1W provided by Gryphon and 1W pumped by xd05 bal ?
Gryphon seem way too expensive so I might buy XD05 bal.
I read somewhere (can't find the info anymore) that xd05 bal can feed stable '1W' while gryphon does not provide full 1W all the time (something around this)
I am planning to use XD 05 with bal. on Sony ST800EX (500mW is recommended).
Also I am about to buy 2x AD708SQ from
https://www.utsource.net/de/sch/AD708SQ.html
Price for 2 (I need 2 right?) delivered to the Netherlands is in attachment below. Price for 2x AD708SQ is 11 USD only, is this right? Anyone knows please, seems low?
Is AD708SQ still one of the most favorite, besides v5i ? Anyone is (still) using them? I really want highest bass quality possible.
I am coming from Monoprice Monolith THX portable, the 3.5 jack output broke, it is losing sound on one ear if 3.5 mm plug moved. Problem is 100% with the female jack, I tried other cables, all the same.
Also, if I listen to 320 kbps MP3 mostly, will LDAC (990 kbps) or USB C DAC connection sound any different? I hope 320mW provided by Monolith compared to 1W from Xd05 bal will wake up the EX800ST bass properties much better.
I decided to go with XD05 bal and AD708SQ, is there anyone with any advice? What a great forum !!!
Thanx in advance
