    Already waiting for a review of Audio Dream Diaboli, as this things looks gorgeous.
    Having another player in this high end iem market is always welcome.

    I’d love to have this. Something small to fully drive my HD 800’s without the use of a full, elaborate desktop system.
    Great job, Amos. As usual you are so wonderfully intelligent and informative. ;)

      I just bought it, it will basically drive my N8ii.
      However
      The N8 ii will source my new desktop setup using the I2S cable.

    I'm curious about this Audio Dream Diaboli. Seeing this video, wow that's very beautiful. This brand is very famous in Brazil.

    Does the C9 pair well with the d8000 pro? Or would you say the d8000p needs a high quality desktop amp to shine?

    Hi Currawong! I'm interest in the CFA Ara and I'm getting it soon! Planning to use the stock cable for a while and then get an upgraded cable. Do you recommend anything? Would love to have your suggestions, thanks so much in advance 🥰🥰

      I got a chance to listen to the Monarch MkII via a DX320 plugged into the Cayin C9. Wow, that was the most realistic sound I've ever heard.

    How does it compare to WooAudio WA8? Both are compact tube amps with WA8 comes with built in DAC while C9 comes with balanced output. Which one delivers more tube sound and which one is more "high end" in its sounds quality?

    • @Currawong
      @Currawong  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It has been a couple of years since I had the WA8 here, but I'd guess it'd be more tubey-sounding than the C9. It also has a DAC in it.

    Would it work great with the Arya stealth and HE 100 v2 stealth? And would it be an upgrade over the Chord mojo 2
    Thanks

    • @Currawong
      @Currawong  ปีที่แล้ว

      I can't imagine it being an upgrade. A proper desktop amp might be an upgrade.

    Hi! Is there any portable DAC or DAP without any amp section to use with Cayin C9 amp? Thanks

    • @Currawong
      @Currawong  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most DAPs have a line out socket or mode. Or there's Chord, where the distinction is irrelevant.

      Susvara Unveiled requires 2.5 watt per channel for 120 db based on my calculations for Sus Un 86 db sensitivity and impedance 45 ohms. C9 had 4watt per channel.

      Don't forget to consider what impedance that 4W comes at. :)
