Phonitor vs headamp

I searched around in the HeadAmp website and resulted in my conclusion being that they may not be a serious company for me to count on when it comes to product support and customer service. The Phonitor X has very little that could be called a prevailing or unique sonic character. Review By Dave Hanson Confession time. Phonitor xe has two of theOne for PCM audio and one for DSD audio, since different roll-off frequencies are required.

And in contrast to all other DACs in the worl the low pass filters here are built using VOLTAiR technology, which provides a plus in dynamics and headroom. HIFIMAN HE-50 WITH KENNERTON ECL-EARPADS, AND GRILL MOD. Now we seen the Topping Acome out, it measures superbly but i’d be worried it doesn’t have the top of the line power output at 2ohms. Tried a few more recently: - Luxman P-1u - Lehmann black cube linear Too bad that the P-700u is still not yet out in Hong Kong.

Anyway, the trial is quite extensive already. Only a few more candidates left. Suggestions are more than welcome! I am not really interested in room simulation stuff.

What makes me more curious is the comparision between the two amplifiers: ADI-Pro FS vs Phonitor 2. My goal is to drive a Sennheiser HD 8or a STAX SR-009S on one of these two amps. SPL Phonitor X – has a great feature - spatial controls! And check out the Phonitor E in balanced mode too.

Headamp GS-X mkII – Great balanced amp for driving the LCD4s! Do you have actual stats on Lake People vs Audio-GD repairs, or are you just shooting from thin air? Audio GD does have year repair guarantee, much better than typical Chinese anyway.

The grace and the headroom are audiophile products. The 2control has a button to activate the crossfeed filter and a knob to calibrate the effect. Rigging up my best DAC, the Audio-gd Master to the Questyle CMA800R and hooking up the HD80 there is an immediate difference. But keeping in mind that each of the components cost more than the Conductor, one should expect nothing less. A small amp that is designed for high impedance cans in the Jotunheim price point is the Beyer A20.

The Ais a step ahead with the HD650. The two amps are not too dissimilar, but the Ahas better control, with a similarly appealing sound signature. THX8I agree for that AMP you want to use XLR, you have Volume GAIN lift in the XLR path over RCA Path due to the design of the AMP. I would use Dor Bifrost here on XLR. Besides factoring the cost of the can itself, you need a more than adequate power source and a great dac.

I think to truly get the best out of these cans, I’ve read that a Phonitor X, THX, RME-ADI or HeadAmp GS-X MKwill truly get the most out of these. Asgard vs M-Stage has been answered two times below if you try to look up in the older comments section of this article. Basically: M-Stage has more power, Asgard more refinement. A review of the DACMini is also coming up.

SPL Pro-Fi Phonitor e blac B-Stock. Superbly balance insane detail and precision, plenty of spurious free dynamics. The Grace m9is a natural comparison for the pimped-out Desktop.

Then I sold pretty much my entire setup in preparation for a cross-country move. Finally, I sold the HeadAmp and picked up the Element X. Find a great deal on high-end audio equipment or music for sale.
