BetaWolfIt's been stated so in the reviews from the tour. This may contribute to what some have described as a thinner sound in some headphones, I dunno. I will also be using this to drive Timewindow 3's with an Adcom amp and a Schitt passive volume control so I don't see that as an issue for that purpose. I have a feeling that my VE Monk's will only get better with this dac/amp. For my other 32 ohmish inexpensive iem's and headphones I'm willing to wait to find out.
