NOS DAC - good match with OTL amp plus Grados?
punkaroo replied to DynaMike's topic in Audio Accessories
I just swapped out my tubes in my Millet for some 12FM6s (Tung Sols) and the SQ with the Devilsound is perfect; I also found that pairing a SS amp with a NOS dac sounds amazing as well! (I tested out an EC/SS with the Devilsound - it's incredible!) -
I found the RS-1s and the HF-2s to be very similar. I listened to both of them out of a MAD amp; but the HF-2s are more forward sounding, with better bass, and smoother highs. I love mine

IIRC, I listened to a pair of 701s at a meet being amped by a C2C...and while I liked their detail, they had NO BASS!

I have a Devilsound NOS dac hooked up to a Mac (hey, that rhymed). I'm using a Millet Hybrid amp with it and listening with HF-2s. My ONLY complaint is the highs are a tad grating; I've broken in the HF-2s for many hours, and I'm thinking it may be the dac. Time to EQ a bit more. Other than that, I'm really happy with this setup -
There's ESW9a and ESW9? I've never even heard of the 'a' model...
-
The ESW10s are an even better can than the 9s. Better detail, better highs, and they sound more open. (for a closed can) Too bad they cost a helluva lot more!

If you had a $1,000, or so, to spend and K-701 headphones

A tube amp, like the C2C or a DarkVoice.
