Currently, the Trafomatic Head One is single ended only and since Sasa seems to have so many things on his plate I doubt a true balanced headphone amp would be along any time soon. Trafomatic seems to be more focused on home speaker audio more so than headphones, but that is just my observation based upon his product line mix. I think the GS and the G Lite would be excellent choices and great value but they will not compensate for a weak source. As others have posted here both of these amps tend towards transparent and if you have any weaknesses in your cdp output you will know soon enough.
Congratulations! I want one so bad. Please update us with your impressions as you get used to the player. I for one will be very interested to see if the APL/3910 continues to meet your expectations. (envy, envy, envy)
Please please provide your impressions when this is done, as this one is on my VERY short list given the "affordability" of the 3910 apl version versus the full gundie $30k NWO.
After paying my taxes last week I swore off buying any music and wine for the year. I just opened an email offer of some limited release Pinots and now this, ..............guess it didn't take very long.
I kind of agree with Grawk on this one. Why not start a "MBL For Me" account? Yeah, first you start saving for the T every April word but then accumulating savings becomes addictive, like shopping for audio gear. Hey, maybe there is a silver lining somewhere.
My intent was to buy the Remy, which I love, as a treat. .... and keep treating myself until I stop thinking about all the money I have to donate to the state and feds.
12 year old Macallan for my CPA, bottle of Remy XO for me.........................'cause of my taxes. I am tempted to drink most of the Remy tonight but I have a sixty mile hilly bike ride tomorrow and I don't like throwing up on rides.
