Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
The sound quality of hearing aids are hindered mostly by the poor performance of the little microphones. I find that if I insert the earpieces gently, the domes allow more sound to enter with proper phasing from my speakers for a more natural pres... 
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
My aids correct for high frequency ..but they screw up the phasing and I actually prefer nothing in my ears 
What do you take when demoing new gear?

Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise?
get a sony walkman and Grado top in ear earphones.....you won't get better sound for 100000 dollars 
Control volume with DAC or Preamp?
Preamp 
Audiophile AC Outlets
..depends what you want....I tried a few different ones and settled on Meistro which sounded to me the least colored. 
PS Audio Power Plant 15........
That’s what happened in my system as well....ruined all nuance, air, 3 dimensionality, etc. All systems are different...in mine not good. (All Ayre) 
Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT?

Next Upgrade??
Think about good headphones and a proper headphone amp...you'll be amazed at how good that can sound.   
So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but
I have my AVR surround system in one room and my hi end stereo system in another.  The sound that comes from the hi end system has  depth, air and 3 dimensionality, and the texture of the music.  The AVR system thumps,and punches in a solid 2 dime... 
need a better sound source?
The Cobalt Dragonfly is a bit better than the Red......but its the old bug-a-boo. How good and therefore expensive do you want to get. All earphones do better with a better dedicated headphone amp.  I wouldn't guess that the headphone out on the N... 
A new way of adjusting anti skate!
Good for you MillerCarbon
