Before this Violectric V90, I use Magni 2 Uber from Schiit Audio to drive my AKG K7XX which is a Massdrop limited edition headphone and also has somehow bright treble as K 701. I would say Magni 2 Uber can drive K7XX well except for a somehow too bright treble. I am a guy who is fond of beautiful treble but also really sensitive to "bright" treble. Sometimes, when the electric is not clear (the voltage converter of Magni 2 Uber is really simple, or humble) or some unknown reason, the treble can be intolerably bright. Thus I cannot listen too long. I can only listen to music at most 2 hours. Otherwise, I would get uncomfortable and even get a slight headache. I sold that and began to use V90. This gives me a new world and the too bright treble never exist. I even use a silver/copper cable to enjoy the beautiful treble of K7XX and never heard intolerable too bright treble.

LaitianCool, great info. I like the high-damping factor too, it may help with bass on Fostex TH-X00. Was about to ask about Schiit models when you wrote. Any V90 comparison to Meier, Cavalli, Vahalla, Audio GD, Graham Slee, other Schiit or Sony amps maybe ?

luvmusikGraham Slee products have its own taste. I would not call that a neutral amp. I am not sure whether you like that or not. It emphasizes the mids and somehow decreases the energy of bass and treble. If only listen to vocal, it will be a good choice. Otherwise, I do not recommend Graham Slee.
Vahalla is a good amp if you do not use the stock tubes. The stock tubes has a lean sound though. I listened to that amp from my friend once and he used the stock tubes and I was not impressed. While it is said if you choose the right upgrade tubes by yourself, it can be a beast.
Audio GD is the only amp when I upgraded from Magni 2 Uber. I searched a lot and asked many people have both NFB-6 from Audio GD and V90 from Violectric. Most of them told me that they are similar and are both good amps. Both neutral amps in a charming price. Considering it will take much time to get a NFB-6 from Audio GD official website (it will take at least 2 weeks on the way from Asia to US), I bought V90 in US and got that in 3 days.
As for Meier and Cavalli, I am really not familiar with them.

luvmusikForget Sony, it is an empire in decaying, at least in the realm of hifi products. The only product which can be commended is Z7 with upgrade headphone cable.
