Fantastic amp in balanced mode especially with planar headphones.
Received it in June from Drop and was very pleased. I am using the Grace Balanced DAC, the Denafrips Aries II DAC, and the Merason Frerot DAC all in balanced mode. I have tried the Audeze EL-8, the Mr Speaker Ether CX, and the SONY MDR-7z all with a Balanced cable. It sound excellent with wide sound stage good accuracy and good bass. I listen to jazz, classical, bluegrass, western swing, and country rock. All sounded great with this amp. very pleased.
