i have monolith m1060c and i keep buying and selling some high end headphones from time to time from beyerdynamic DT line to Hifiman planar magnetics to Audeze LCD line.
i have to say , this amplifier meets the needs perfectly , recommanded
Habe den Kopfhörerverstärker für meine Focal Kopfhörer gekauft…..bin sprachlos….wirklich TOP Qualität.
Bardzo dobry sprzęt w świetnej cenie. Polecam zakupy!
What can I say that hasnt been said about this amp? Its simply great, has enough power to drive to hearing damage levels most hard to drive planars, havent tried HE6/Susvara with it so I cant say it will drive anything, but besides those you will struggle to find headphones this amp cant drive.
Frequency response is perfectly linear, so good recordings will sound great, bad recordings you will be able to tell.
The passthrough only works if you feed it a SE signal through RCAs, in case you are interested in such feature.
If you get it on sale price theres nothing on the market at this level of performance for such low price.
Totally recomend it.
Kupiony na przecenie -30%, a więc w bardzo dobrej cenie, gra świetnie, u mnie z Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm, choć myślę intensywnie nad Monolithami M1570, które podobno dużo lepiej będą potrafiły wykorzystać jego potencjał. Wysyłka z Niemiec, a więc u nas bez żadnych ceł itp.
