I’m a fan of the Dave , it’s dac anyway however I’m going to borrow the Dave once again I think the Vox’s headphone section truly has better performance, there’s something about it. The big Ampsandsound tube amplifier was thrown out of the evaluation early , it just didn’t mesh with all the fan fare about it and I gave every opportunity with tube rolling ,different sources including different brands of headphone’s..
The Audeze 4Z belong to the fellow that owns the Dave and like me switch to headphone listening for those late nights.
Im not sold on the Audeze there is something about the sound I would need more time to pin point it, they were thrilling at first listen however there’s something buggy with them during long session with them.
Currently I’m using a slightly modified Fostex 900 that I find quite good .
The purchase of the Hydra Vox was out of pure curiosity already using a Rockna dac I liked the idea of a digital stack better that also includes a purpose built headphone section , however it goes beyond that with its one bit FPGA design it comes from a guy in the industry whom other manufacturers commission to help with their own designs.
This AudioByte stack hasn’t really launched into the market place yet , there’s a streamer that is yet to be released and there’s no reviews or even much talk about it.
i like it a lot .
