No obvious distortion to my ears. Comparing to other amps that i used for electrostatic headphones, 90 at Turbo produces a sound level similar to a Hifiman ES amp at 11 o'clock or an AHB2 at low gain. Any difference among them is subtle to me. The mat is just a silicone kitchen mat from Amazon. The wave pattern helps support the unit as well as provide some ventilation at bottom. But the XD05 Pro doesn't really generate that much heat, at least much better than the Hifiman amp, which becomes a space heater when in use.Any distortion at that volume level and where did you get that red/orange mat?
In my opinion, one can answer classically "it depends".Hi, is it worth to buy AKM module? Is it better than ESS?
it dependsIn my opinion, one can answer classically "it depends".
First of all it depends on your taste, the AKM is slightly warmer and more natural (slightly), the ESS is really good and against the AKM it is more detailed, the stage is wider and deeper the holography is audibly better.
*For my part, having both ESS, AKM and ROHM, I confidently recommend owning AKM and ESS, it's nice to switch chips from time to time and enjoy a different sound. The only thing I don't recommend is ROHM it sounds like a weaker version of ESS.
Very nice synergy with Focal Elegia, hypnotizing female vocals and very wide scene!
Perfectly match Elegia with XD05PRO 6.3 mm cable NORMAL gain it has better synergy with XD05PRO than my Focal Clear. Also tried with Radiance and Stellia. Elegia pairs the best with XD05PROFocal Elegia are not too sensitive to XD05 Pro?
