I just wanted to give some initial thoughts and a heads up for a comparison video and a review of one of the new Geshelli amps that I hope to have out this week.
I’ve done some preliminary comparisons between the Magni 3, Archel 2 and Liquid Spark. I have to say its a very capable competitor in the headphone amp space, and I’m not talking about budget amp space. It’s become clear to me that a lot of the more expensive headphone amps, for the most part, lack a bit of power using the balanced plug. The Archel 2 is pretty much noise-free and has nearly the same power output as amps that cost 3 times the price.
Is it the budget AMP king? you’ll have to wait for the review. However, I can say its certainly in the running.
I don’t have an Atom near me right now. I’ll have sent the review unit back before I have the atom. I want to compare to what I have in hand. Atom is a great amp too.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be ordering one myself very soon. Geshelli are awesome and I want to show some love. I think the 2.5 will be just about perfect for most people.
Well, talking about inexpensive DAC/amps, I open youtube and I see this… looks like Oluv (aka clavinetjunkie) finally upgraded his little topping dx3, lol!
