    Very curious to know what your thoughts are compared to your current gear.

    @Vtory I had packed them away, but I am considering them for my nightstand system - with an old iPhone 7 or 6s as transport. Decent sound, tiny footprint = not bad.

    @MLegend Can't do a->b comparison, due to different transport (PC -> USB -> GungnirMB -> Taurus <> iPhone ->USB ->MicroDAC ->MicroAmp).

    @MLegend ...however, Gungnir+Taurus is much better - blacker background, more slam, cleaner across the spectrum, more detail. Still, HeadRoom stuff is fine for such small gear - kinda velvety.

    I am not criticizing the HeadRoom gear. While it doesn't sound as good as my main rig, it still sounds really good. I may get some rechargable 9V batts and avoid the bricks!

    Oh that's alright man, I wasn't asking for or expecting a critical a/b comparison. I was just interested in casual first impressions/ thoughts after comparing the two. I recently put my Headroom desktop balanced back in my system while my other amp is getting upgraded, so I could somewhat relate to your scenario and was curious as to what your thoughts were.

    FWIW, the MicroAmp I have has the “Desktop Module” in it. I think the amp aged well. The DAC can only handle 24/48, I think?

    Thanks for your impressions. I think that's fair to say, I think it's aged rather well, if you're looking for the type of sound that the amp was tuned for. Regarding the dac section, I never used higher than 24/44, so I'm not entirely sure. I'm probably going to put mine up for sale. Hopefully, someone can use it and enjoy it instead of it just sitting in my closet.
