the compass is really great. i could even use my ipod as the source by using the super mode.

wow,, i jsut tried the soft1 setting with the jumper. it match well with my ksc-75. great DAC i would say.

mine is still burning in right now, the bass still a bit boomy for my hd600. really hope it would improve after the burning in session. by the way, you guys use this compass with USB line or optical or coaxial line int? which of the three has the best SQ?

i have switch to bright mode, it is still too boomy for my taste. haha.. i could hear an improvement after some burning in. i hope it could be much better after 500 hours.

hey godluv, any chance of bringing the XLO power cord again. i wanna get them from you, damn i missed the chance last time.

would it be cheaper than XLO that you brought last time? XLO seems quite promising. from the brand at least.

the new faceplate looks neat. my compass seems like boosting the bass. what yours guys? do you feel the same?

hey bro, how's ur compass? could you solve the imbalance problem?

my compass is getting better and better each day, the bass seems to calm down a bit. it is not as bloated as when i received them. what about urs guys?

should do compare side by side.

by the way, guys, how's your burning process? can do some review about the improvement? mine is still in burning process right now. there are around 10 people owning this DAC right now. why only about 3 or 4 people showing up in this thread.

guys, how's ur compass doing? today i just tried to pair my compass with T-amp through the pre-amp, WOW... compass is so powerful, i turn the volume for about 1/6 of the full volume only, the sound is so loud for my celestion.

^^ i cant try the power amp without the compass, i dont have external sound card and i'm using laptop as source right now. hmm.. but i could tell that the preamp adds a cleaner sound to the power amp and adds more power to the volume. i tried to pair the power amp through the dac line out, the sound is kinda dark and so boomy through the dac line out, so i like to use the pre-amp function. as it is kinda neutral sound.

havent tried before. dont have the mini to RCA cable. would try and let you know later..

yeah, my hd600 too. but it begun to open up after some burning in.

yeah,, mine too.. by the way, i was wondering what cans do you use to pair with compass?
