"With all that said, going balanced is badass and therefor way better. It makes things sound better without making them sound better. It is the natural progression of any audiophiles setup. It's the formula 1 race car but still limited to pleb speed limits." -- LOL good one!
I won't waste too much of my time responding to your post, as you didn't address or dispute my points.
What do you mean, 'transparency can only get worse by going balanced'? While I didn't say "a perfectly transparent single ended amp" would "sound better by making it balanced", I will note that the THX AAA 789 - which is not a differential amp - provides double the power though its XLR-out... which will result in better performance with some headphones, especially planar magnetic models. In addition to the Wattage output, current (Amps) and voltage specifications affect the resulting sound from a headphone. (And FYI, greater power on-tap from an amplifier is not for 'driving headphones above 120 dB SPL'. It's used for audible sound benefits: greater dynamics, larger soundstage, bass quality/quantity, smoother mids/treble, etc.)
And finally, if "many low cost" amplifiers "are at least transparent way way way beyond [your] hearing ability," you are clearly not the one to advise on these matters.
J_December_whyThe description for the pro is identical to the 2020 model that came out in the summer except the pro describes having a two-stage power supply for lower noise floor.
I have the portable B1, & the X7s, fiio amps, a Fiio X3, 5, & 7, AUNE is the best I've ever had, whether 2.5mm or 3.5 the output is clear dynamic & real life, Arcam makes great dacs also! I'd buy this.
Ohh no.. I'm sorry I thought you were talking about the upside down text. I did not realize they were backwards as well. If you look at the pictures of the 2020 model it's not like this. I'm sure this picture of the pro is completely digital and someone didn't realize that a mistake flipping that text
GrimschankHaha, okay, that makes sense. I had to look at it for a solid minute to confirm I was seeing what I was seeing and not having a stroke, so you'd be forgiven to have not seen it the first time.
