I just received the new Xenos amp. Out of the box the build quality is superlative (the case is actually metal!). It has a new (to me) Stereo Field
Simulator which controls the amp's stereo channels. It simulates a live stereo
listening environment as if stereo speakers were placed in a room 4 meters apart
and the listener in the center, 5 meters from the speakers (their words). This
SFS control is to eliminate "super stereo" effect produced by stereo headphone
listening. It works by feeding a portion of the left channel signal into the right
and visa versa through a frequency and delay profile filter which simulates the
stereo listening room field. We shall see! The gain setting is perfect with an Ipod and 701s. The amp adds terrific bass to the AKGS while maintaining their wonderful sparkle.
Only 5 minutes old and already I am in love. What a great portable addition to my Heed! Much more to follow
