    Sure, sounds fun. I agree the GS is so far more incisive. Funny thing tho is I heard A2+Rag2 and bought Rag not realizing it was the A2 sound I was after.

    A lot of the congestion has burnt off about a week in. Plankton materializing in a big way. All the tape hiss lol

  Name a tube amp that's bloomy/wet/tubey, strong macrodynamics, articulate and not rolled off

    Ampsandsound Kenzie or Mogwai. Mogwai if you want to tube roll, Kenzie if you want a euphoric, more romantic tone.

  Caught off guard by the engagement factor of HD600 + Jot 2. Not plankton infested but many neutral, much balance. Prefer over HD6XX + Jot 2

    Makes sense given the warmth of the Jot 2, should help tame the brighter sig of the 600, and be too much warmth with the 650.

  Intense DAC war in my apt. Yggdrasil GS vs Gungnir A1. Completely opposite characters. G1 is content to chill, Yggdrasil commands absolute attention

    DAC war has been won by Yggdrasil GS and my G1 is going to @Erroneous. But truly, nobody wins a DAC war except the manufacturers. The grass will always be greener.

    While not OTL, the Amps and Sound Nautilus is one hell of an amp. I own the Kenzie Encore and it pairs well with ZMF headphones and a Bifrost II.
