You don't want exposed tubes sitting on your desk, right next to your Eero pod. RFI city. Plus the R2R Ladder DAC is, arguably, a better technology. And the components of the F11 R2R are a little better known. I can't even find a schematic of the signal path of the XDuoo to even know how the tubes are integrated. Plus the Fiio has the sample and bit rate display, and some modes tonplay around with. Overall I think it's the better buy, and for your setup, probably the better fit. So you aren't having to spend more than you did on the amp rolling tubes to try an eliminate RFI on your desk.
@@bigbuckorammahear that! I already have the TA-22 anyway and the K11 OG, so I’m really not in “need” of anything at the moment. If I do make another purchase in the near term, I’m probably going to upgrade my K11 to the R2R version. I have a weak spot for tubes and this kinda hit that spot. lol
@@BassDad8 haha, I went through a tube phase there for a while. I quickly discovered that FPS gaming and tube amps didn't go hand in hand. Every missed shot sounded like someone slamming a Celestion Reverb Guitar Amp into the back of my head. After a couple months of El Kabong in my ears, I went back to solid state. 🤣
Is this QoA Vesper 2 smooth sound comfortable listening to RU-vid or music or movies? Is there brightness or distortion in the mid-range sound or weakness in the sound?
You have no authority to comment on the product since you keep touching the valves with your greasy fingers. Buy solid state if you like to put your fingers in
@@PrimeAudioReviews YES, THE BODY FAT OF THE HAND REMAINS ON THE GLASS AND THAT CAUSES THE VALVE TO WORK OUTSIDE THE TEMPERATURE RANGE. I SUGGEST YOU WEAR GLOVES IF YOU ARE GOING TO HANDLE THEM.
@martinmenna7129 Maybe you're thinking about halogen tubes- audio tubes can be handled and I clean mine after swapping them anyway. Also, there's no need to shout.
