    @YMO thank you for the loaner! I have been curious about the THX amps for years!

    We do loaners in order to prevent spending money on things that we may not like. And you welcome!

    I keep hearing this amp is an iem slayer. But your comments are consistent with other feedback that it’s not super engaging with full-size cans.

    I pity the fools who paid $600-1000 on Ebay when it was super hyped by those audiophile youtubers

    But you didn't warm it up for 72 hours yet, and you need to roll in the right cables :P

    I use it for all my iem reviews/comparisons. It sits at my WFH desk, so gets plenty of iem listening for pleasure as well.

    Remember all, IEM Headphone Amp. @shotgunshane approves. Don't listen to @tommytakis, he is too scared of his Sonic Frontiers DAC going away from him.

    On a somewhat related note, anybody listen to iems on Hel? It uses the same opamp as the RME ADI-2 DAC, the TI OPA1688. The OPA1688 also uses feedforward, like the opamp in the THX 789.
