Congratulation for the new gear smile.gif.

Glad you like it. You can try ALL the opamps and I pretty sure one of it will suit your listening preferences very well. You have another 2 more opamp to try with, and hope one of them is better than the silver amp smile.gif.

just 1 step / 7 o'clock on Silver amp? Wow, it is insanely too powerful for my UM3Xs.

Ooo.. next DAC upgrade.... look no further... the Benchmark's DAC-1 HDR. smile.gif. Have balanced ouput too. .. and even the 'Audio Critic' loves it.

Ooo.. That is bad. Wondering why after many feedbacks from head-fiers, but the hp out is bad. BTW, generally the op-amps if for the headphone out. Can you describe the how 'bad' it is? You still have some burn-in, and hope you like it.

I had play around with 3 OPAMP so far i like Earth more. So i burn Earth opamp 1st. For jumper, i like Soft1 mode.
at this moment i like Compass DAC+AMB Mini3+UM Quaddie combo, much cleaner sound thumbup.gif i can hear some extra sound again from some of my fave tracks, although it is faint but with Compass DAC i still can hear it. Last time with Alien DAC it is not noticeable at all.


Aha, you now are now start listening 'thing', which was invisible or not exist previously. Good gears are scary but satisfying. smile.gif This is what we called resolution or details.

Thank you.
