I think the consensus on this forum will be the olive SC will gel better . I used to have a Teddy SC which was brill with a 52. I subsequently upgraded to SCDR and although in some respects was better it was slightly more hifi like in its presentation . I was using a CDS3 as my source then and...

Hi Thinking of purchasing the Zazen for my Dac & headphone amp , wondering if anyone has used this and was it a worthwhile purchase Thanks in advance

Contemplated acquiring a Hugo TT but was put off by the battery replacement and the fact that it would be 7 years old. Listening to the Qutest again im really starting to enjoy it particularly in the mid-range and sound stage. Long story short a new Qutest arrived this morning and i have...

I had an interesting afternoon today , i attached my Ifi amp to my main HiFi setup to see what a Linn Klimax katalyst Naim 52 would sound like through it .After several hours listening it was very good indeed , but to be honest i thought it was going to be mind-blowing better but not as good as...

I bought the Ifi based on good reviews , some people prefer the Hd800s on tube amps so the Ifi was the best of both worlds running on solid state and tube :)

My setup in primarily desk top , the mojo will be used as a Dac feeding the Ifi headphone amp Qobuz imac mojo ifi hd800s on tubes it really sounds brill

Let me know how you get on , a friend in work has just ordered a Mojo 2 and has agreed to lend me it next weekend so it will be very interesting to compare Thanks

I think your right , probably a no brainer I still have the Hugo 2 here with me and Im comparing it to the Mojo Yes its a much better Dac but is it £1000-£1500 better (hugo 2 vs qutest) Hmm i really dont think so o_O

There is Xbass on the Ifi which does a pretty good job . I guess headphones are much like speakers , you'll never find the perfect one but settle for one 90% to your liking .I was very much looking forward to audition the LCD xc given the positive reviews , but after having the Senns for some...

My current system is HD800s ifi ican pro and mk1 mojo . It boogies along nicely and i really like it , however lately ive been listening to headphones quite a bit and am contemplating changing the Sennheiser or the Dac to see what improvements i would gain I love what the HD800s do ,just lack...

Thanks for the reply , i take it these cables will do the job https://www.hifix.co.uk/audioquest-cinnamon-usb-a-b-cable?gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJarbgnPLUi5PmPPkWPdS0jUlKAVFEsMaKQHtEsqu6sTf66aNwffIMaAj8nEALw_wcB...

Hello Currently i am using a mojo in the headphone setup and contemplating a Hugo TT Mk1 to replace the mojo . Im a bit of a novice when it comes to headphone setup but im very pleased with the current setup and just wish to upgrade the DAC (System -Sennheiser HD800S, IFI ICAN PRO ,MOJO straight...

After 35 years having various Linn/Naim components in my system and at times during the journey having zero in the chain im virtually back where i started ie Linn source and Naim amps .As others have said i do prefer Naim amplification ,theres just a boogie factor with it and when i was without...

I found Epos ES14 a bass heavy speaker and not particularly fast sounding. This was many moons ago when i purchased Linn kan mk1 shortly after that although lacked the bass the Kans were far superior in every other area. Arcs are in a different league with a soundstage that the Epos could not...

Think Ive got a Shahinian Bug :D
