Great Sounding Amplifier!
I'm using this amp with the SDAC and HD6XX headphones. I use Spotify for all my music. I tried Tidal for a couple weeks, but honestly couldn't hear any real differences between the two. The music sound stage widened slightly with Tidal, but the audio detail of both programs where the same. Spotify sounds like it has more low end emphasis than Tidal which I prefer, honestly. The sound of this setup is amazing. As I approached the 100 hour break in the sound became more relaxed without losing any detail. The instruments sound more real after the break in, as in they sound more "in the room with you". The bass accuracy with the 6XX is great too. Bass drum kicks, bass guitar, acoustic guitars, and electronic synths have a high sense of detail and accuracy in particular. I read some people stating this amp isn't powerful enough for the 300ohm HD6XX, but let me tell you the CTH is plenty powerful. I have Spotify volume set to max, Windows volume set to 70/100, and my comfortable listening level is at 9 o'clock or lower on the amp volume knob. Any higher and I feel my hearing would be prematurely damaged. Take care of your hearing. I highly recommend this amplifier. Here are some songs I've been enjoying lately. Paradise Circus - Massive Attack Avratz - Infected Mushroom Its Going to Be a Good Day - Ocha Tristan - Dolorum Hunter - Bjork Alanis Morissette Live/ Unplugged album The Game of Love - Daft Punk Giorgio by Moroder - Daft Punk

M.H.DTo hear the difference between Spotify and Tidal, you need to make some settings for Tidal.
  1. Recording Quality – Master.
  2. DAC Mode – Exclusive.
  3. If the DAC supports MQA, then enable the function – Passthrough MQA.
After these steps, you will hear the difference. In general, I recommend streaming Qubuz. The sound is better than in Tidal. Good luck!
