Hey guys! A question to Stax owners - are there any differences between mk1 and mk2 of l700 besides the upgraded headband design?
I want to buy myself an l700 however I’m unsure if it’s worth paying extra for the mk2 if there aren’t any significant differences in terms of sound quality/soundstage/etc. between these two models.
Hi guys! I’m a proud JM21 owner who‘s had several more expensive DAPs before settling on this little wonder, since I couldn’t detect any differences in sound in blind a/b tests between them
However, lately I’ve been wondering about a certain audio company whose DAPs are well known for having a specific “house sound” - Shanling.
Do their DAPs actually sound any different then Fiio and iBasso DAPs in blind tests or is it just psychoacoustics?
Hi guys! I've been contemplating buying a hybrid tube amp for my Hifiman Arya Stealth. I've had a chance to demo Xduoo TA-22 at a local music store and I instantly fell in love with it's sound, which I didn't expect at all. I even did a blind test with the help of a store employee comparing it to my iBasso DX180 and the difference in sound was still perceivable.
However this great device is way over my current budget (under 300$) so I wanted to ask people who have owned different Xduoo products this - does Xduoo TA-10r sound any different to TA-22? And are there any other tube amps that have the TA-22 sound under 300$?
