Some interesting reading (didn't read all of it though). Bruno Putzeys knows his shit. MQA seems to be a farce.
A farce I think so also , gotta keep the public buying so marketed new and improved stuff ,....

Bingo ! Is this a nice performing dac and headphone amplifier.

For anyone curious I just put an order in for the AudioByte Hydra Vox dac a Romanian manufacturered component and sister company of famed Rockna Audio .
It’s a interesting dac , it’s configured to stack with separate power supplies, yes plural and soon to be released server named the Hub .
The dac is FPGA based , pure one bit and no dac chip and much more including a superb purpose built headphone input.
I believe M***.com is the US distributor and ***.com a dealer where I placed my order I’m sure there are other dealers however I found Vlad owner of *** out of Minnesota to be fabulous to deal with.

I guess if Mr Katz likes it then it couldn't be wrong.. ☺️
Yep , I’ve been a fan of Katz’s work in the recording industry for decades not only his work as a engineer also as a author .
The Mjölnir Bipolar is a great match up with the Audeze 4Zs foremost and secondly a fantastic deal at $2100.00 .

Since my last posting I did try out some other popular brands of headphones with the Mjölnir bipolar and purchased the Audeze LCD4Z which I find truly spectacular .

It is absolutely delicious. And potentially lethal ?
That’s sounds great ! Mmmmmm

I presume those are LCD3s? You might do some searching for different pads (head-fi, though noisy, might give you some ideas).
I thank my lucky stars coming across Bob Katz review of Mjölnir Audio , good start .

I couldn’t say if they were LCD model I didn’t study them too close the fellow introduced them as Audeze 3s. I found them a touch heavy and he went through adjustments to get them to fit my head and once I felt we hit a sweet spot he let the music play .
I guess I have to get use to something clamped on my head however after awhile they seemed to get uncomfortable just a little tight .
Many thanks and maybe soft pads would work .

Purk ,great I’ll check them out ,.

I just purchased this amplifier and have a couple questions , but first I never used headphones and just getting started and would like some advice which manufacturers of headphones would mate well with the Mjolnir Audio Dynalo Bipolar 2 .
A little back ground , the fellow I purchased the Mjolnir from was also selling his Audeze 3 headphones as a package deal however I found these headphones uncomfortable after a 1/2 hour of listening. He suggested a slew of other manufacturers and told me to browse headfi headphone site . I couldn’t make much sense of what I read and doing searches I landed here .
i appreciate anyone’s direction to a quality comfortable headphone I guess in the 2 to 3000 dollar range , Thank you .
AudioByte Hydra Vox dac
in Home Source Components
Posted
Unlike some in this hobby I never marry any brand name of said audio components so for anyone interested I find this AudioByte Vox dac and headphone amplifier so far the best performing I’ve owed to date and with the third part of this stack yet to be released ,,,, a streamer,,,, I’m really looking forward to it .
This purchase was a complete shot in the dark though having listened to AudioBytes so called big brother Rockna dac I figured there should be a resemblance in performance . Using the exact same source after a couple weeks I realized I prefer the AudioByte Vox dac more so then Rockna’s entry level dac priced at $2,000 more . And just to mention I do have a Mjolnir audio Bipolar MK ii headphone amplifier with direct comparison I prefer the performance of the headphone section in the AudioByte.
Finally I’d like mention a recent firmware update for the Vox dac which further enhance the musical performance followed by a firmware up date for the power supplies which I think go a long way at making this component perform .
