Hey guys, as far as I understand from this thread, there is a common positive approach to VC. I’m so happy with it as well.
I really need an advice of iem like VC.

Ya that's true. lyr3 is better match for Lean and bright headphones and VC is neither. I feel Bifrost 2 and used EC ZDT Jr as its not available new, will be a nice DAC amp Combo for ZMF.Bifrost 2 plus Jotunheim for $1100 sounds great with VC. Very punchy and dynamic. I like the Jotunheim more than Lyr 3 with VC. The Lyr 3 makes the VC sound a bit too diffused and soft.
A word of warning on those omega stands, they will prematurely flatten your ear pads as they apply constant compression to the foam. It will cause the foam to lose it's rebound faster. I used to use them myself and found I was replacing ear pads much faster than I thought I should. Turned out to be the stand!If there was any positive consequence of covid-19, it’s the fact that I’ve been able to spend so much time with my Verite closed!
Still enjoying it as much as when I got it first time around!
Now I just want to set up a dedicated dac/amp to connect my ZMF to my desktop (using for gaming as well).
Anyone got any recommendations for a good desktop setup below 1k budget to combine with the VC closed?
Currently use AK sp1000m with it

Please post your impressions of the A20 once you get some time with it. I have had that amp on my radar for awhile as a small secondary amp I can use around the house with a small dac like a Modi.I would have liked to try a Jotunheim/Bifrost 2 or GLMK2/Bifrost 2 combo but I caved and have the Beyerdynamic A20 amp inbound. Have the RME, Grace Sdac, and the Element 2 (isolating the dac) on hand and will be comparing against the Element 2, RME and RME/789 stacked.
It won’t be a perfect test but I hope to just understand a bit better how the higher output impedance will affect the sound of my higher impedance cans and determine whether it is a positive or negative effect for my personal preference. Isolation fun!
Has anyone heard the VC with the Headamp GS-X mini? How do they synergize?
Will do my best! Just know that my experience with amps and dacs is quite limited and my ears are not at all trained but I’m really looking forward to this comparison and will share whatever I gain from it.Please post your impressions of the A20 once you get some time with it.

EVERYTHING sounds better with a tube amp!The VC sounds great on the mini. I like that combo, but still prefer VC with a tube amp.
When did you order?Well phase 1 has been accomplished. I'm now an official member of the ZMF VC club. The only difference from attached pic is mine has a Stainless Steel posts. Hopefully soon I'll be able to drop actual pics of mine. Hint hint Zack
