Version 2026.10.08 fixes “Third-party AUv3 plug-ins did not appear under Plugins” and with this fix we can now use the Toneboosters Morphit plugin to apply 6 target curve eqs including Harman AE/OE, Studio, HiFi(usually my favourite) and Diffuse Field(pretty sure this is a typo and it’s really their commute target) as well as other AUv3 plugins system wide and even simulate other headphones!

Never thought I’d see the day, but here it is and we have Masahiro Sato https://github.com/satomasahiro2005 to thank for this! Many Thanks!

Happy listening!

The Val 3 is probably the best tube amp outside of the Kilobuck range, and even then includes tech that a lot of OTL amps are missing. Using the impedance multiplier to compensate for the low efficiency, I don’t even need the highest gain mode.

I’m using a Qudelix 5K as the DAC, outputting 2Vrms, no EQ. I’ve verified with the Midgard below that I’m not ‘missing’ any sound, and the Val 3 is pushing enough to satisfy the He6.
(Elear also pictured, sounds amazing on the Val 3 as well.)

The fit and finish are premium as well; a hefty unit with solid switches, and a wonderful volume knob. A pleasure to use, to look at, and to own.
