December 23, 201411 yr comment_665371 Mr. Plankton shilled hard for it and the blind noobs followed suit. If the Rag can make the HD800's sound "not bright" and bass heavy, then guess what, it's a dark sounding amp and not transparent. Edited December 23, 201411 yr by Audiojunkie Report

December 23, 201411 yr comment_665394 It's HF, they are all idiots looking for the next new shiny. This is better than most of the crap they shill but it's still not the all round champion people think it is. Why do you think so? Report

December 23, 201411 yr comment_665417 Because we always get an influx of newbs, trolls, and thread necromancers...and it is rarely during these influxes (infli?) that we get the good ones... (Apologies if you're the exception.) Report

I found that even a headphone amp if it was designed for full-size it won't sound good on IEM even with a super low gain or whatever it has. Report

May 29, 201511 yr comment_687649 I had a listen to a JPS labs Abyss through a Yggdrasil DAC and both the Ragnarok and GSX MkII amps. The GSX Mk II was more neutral and exposed more plankton. The Rag was a (very) little sterile. When listening to fast paced music the Rag seemed to bop along very well. Listening to the same music through the GSX Mk II, you heard the extra detail in and in-between the notes. But, here, we are nit-picking. I would be happy with either amp - it's just that I would be more happy with the GSX Mk II. As ususal YMMV. Report
