For the noobs................. USB-B vs USB-C. There is no "audio" advantage to the "newer" USB-C. As long as the protocol versions (USB 2,2.1,3 etc) are the same, it's only the physical shape of the connector that is different. Reggae, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
@@yooanto9465 Personally I'd get the EF400 over the EF600 as it just sounds better to me. EF600 sounded too harsh to me. EF400 is smoother and warmer and just a nicer overall listening experience. The fact that the EF400 if now $400 and half the price of the EF600 which is $800 makes the EF400 a very attractive All in One. The EF600 is a swing and miss imo
@@yooanto9465 It doesn't compare really. In terms of dynamics, staging, holography, detail it's way behind my OTL (which is also being fed from a Spring 3, so a doubly unfair comparison). That said, it is actually warmer and more relaxing. It's a very smooth and organic sound.
@@yooanto9465 I honestly don't have much experience with that particular price point. My suggestion would be to save an extra $400-500 and get a Ferrum OOR or a Feliks Euforia.
Did you only use stock cables for this? Off a dedicated streamer?
nice review 👍

Got this on Day one and returned it. I was blown away when I heard the EF400... but the EF600 was very underwhelming
so you advise me to get ef400 instead of this! what's difference in sound quality?

No optical input on this thing ? Get the SMSL M300 se @120$ and be happy , ...
While I haven't heard the EF600 yet, I've heard the EF400 and a bunch of SMSLs and I'd take the EF400 over them all.
how is ef400 compared to your big tube amp?@@LSDScreen
