Aahh, this drop comes late that I already purchased it at 400USD after months of waiting. It's a well built entry level amp but quite TEAC-ish: jack of all trades but master of none. The sound quality is fair, comparable to my temporary SMSL DAC+AMP setting which costs about haft of the price, but it is still a great unit if you appreciate the versatility it can offer: DSD via USB, Bluetooth, optical and coax inputs. At the dropping price it is really a great deal. Creating an SMSL stack with same features costs about the same but with no integration. However it lacks of bass/treble tuning so might not be suitable to all speakers. It also heats up so I would suggest avoid placing things on the top of it to provide ventilation.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
