SpectralBaconSDAC is great DAC but the CTH is one of the noisiest amps you'll get. It's noise level is so high that its actual SNR is -78 dB and not the -97 dB as advertised.
junkiSo you would say the CTH DAC/amp over this??? I’m just using some akg K712 pros... not hard to drive but I would like a hybrid or a tube amp... Ive heard they take really well to a tube and I like the idea of the hybrid tube
ItsAeolusHow the hell did you manage to interpret this:
"but the CTH is one of the noisiest amps you'll get."
into this:
"So you would say the CTH DAC/amp over this?"
JaggiHonestly I wasn’t paying much attention to “noise” at the time I was interpreting it as how loud this thing could get and not the correct definition of noise in this case.... but yeah I get it I didn’t read into it like I should and ignored the SNR portion. He mentioned the DACs I was comparing so I threw a question out and glazed over it And I glazed over it. No need to be rude though. A simple correction would suffice but thank you for the correction
ItsAeolusHeh, well at least that makes sense. Maybe they should use this as a selling point on future CTH drops:

JaggiProbably from the equally bewildering answer he got:
"the CTH is one of the noisiest amps you'll get" therefore "it's likely you'll be happy with it, yes."
?????
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
