I’ve been enjoying running my AAA789 with and through Schitt DAC with Toslink from my Sony TV and CD player DACs into the Schitt DAC and out to ELEX headphones. No runs, no hiss, no errors.

I use a ton of different headphones and IEMs with my THX AAA 789 amp (paired with a Topping D50 DAC) but the ones that currently get the most play time are my (modded) Sony MDR-Z7, HiFiMan Sundara, Campfire Audio Andromeda, Massdrop Plus and Sony MH755, an $8 wonder that I modded with female MMCX connectors to get rid of the stupid J-cord and give me different cable options. It's a hell of an amp that's made all of my other amps redundant. It's just that damn good.

This is an old pic, but I thoroughly enjoy using IEMs with the 789. They sound perfect with the Solaris and it bums me out I haven't found a portable equivalent that gives me the same listening pleasure as this amp. These days, I have it paired to an SMSL SU-8 (balanced interconnects and output) and it just does everything right with my IEMs and has a perfectly black background even with the typically hissy and reactive Solaris.

Yeah you’d said that you needed a portable solution or something like that.

I skipped it because I own a Yamaha A-28, I mainly passed the offer as they up the price $50 without any improvement. THX hype is working its magic.

I'm feeding mine with an SMSL SU-8 DAC and listening through a pair of Monolith M1060 headphones. I really love the combo. Sources are Custom built PC via USB and a Mac Mini via Toslink.

Sennheiser HD 800. It's so transparent that: a) it is unforgiving to poor recordings, b) one could tell apart different DACs, c) soft classical music are nice, but full orchestra feels a bit harsh.

Mine is currently being wasted on a pair of Nighthawk's and Fidelio X2...neither of which need much power. But my balanced Argons should be here in about a month!
