I’m a Ferrum combo happy owner and currently using the Gustard X26 pro as a dac. I got no complaints. I have been reading about the holo spring 3 kte and since my Gustard is stil in the return window period I was wondering if moving to the Spring KTE would be a substantial improvement. I have...

Eventually I’m selling the Elite. The HE1000v2 is more my thing. Just need to find the right cable to improve the bass.

Thank you. I have just received the Ferrum stack today and very happy with it. Beside the Elite now I have also the HE1000v2 which I actually like much more than the Elite and it’s still a good match with the Ferrum, even though I thought it would’ve been easier to drive with the Ferrum. The...

You think I won’t lose in sound quality with the ext raspberry pi 4? Also I have read the Ethernet connection is a massive sound quality improvement but not sure so true.

With much less technical knowledge than you and vocabulary, I had that feeling about the R2R and that many users will to back to the accuracy that a dac is supposed to give. And I have a great LP12 for proper analogue presentation. I have read a bit between the X26pro and the A26 and beside the...

I have been looking at both r26 and a26. If the a26 won’t sound to analytical in a unnatural way I would go for it. what makes you prefer the x26pro vs the r26?

I think I’ll go for the Ferrum combo and most likely return or sell my Okto Dac8 (I’d like to help who’s been on waiting list for long) and get a Merason Frerot with ext linear power supply or a second hand Merason dac1. Call me suspicious old fashioned but I don’t trust too much the hyped...

I have no doubt! I should sell a kidney or two for it : )

Right. Never done any EQing especially because I listen mostly to turntable and good EQ hardware seems expensive.

I had read good things using meze elite with the HSA-1b amp actually. Interesting you find the HP4 superior. Even tone wise?

I was also curious about the Raal amp, I read great things on Stereophile matching the Elite. It didn't catch your interest for you Raal headphone?

I’m very tempted by the Ferrum combo. I have read a lot, really a lot, yesterday about each amp and pairing with Elite. If what I read especially from Stereophile is true, my current amp the pass HPA1 is an excellent match and perhaps I should just invest in transformer cables xlr to rca to...

Understood. Yes the dac8 has a volume. I have contacts in Japan to source Luxman, Mass Kobo and other delicious specialties from there : )

Thanks! I didn’t know the Ferrum. What do you mean driving it as power amp? Connecting to an external preamp? I have an integrated McIntosh MA5300 which is a temp amp. I’ll move within the year to Pass Labs. Between the Ferrum and Luxman P750u what is your recommendation and difference in your...

Hi all, I have been reading pfm for long time as LP12 owner but first time posting. I’d truly appreciate an advice for an head amp well pairing with Meze Elite. I own a Pass Labs HPA1 which being only SE can’t connect to my new Okto dac8. Here a list of amps seem to have good specs and...
