The missing things have found their way back.


I offer no explanation for these events.

Where is the Atom? :eyes:

Oh, you’re right. That’s missing now. What a bizarre situation. I wonder what’s going on?
I think on a quantum level, the atom can not exist at the same time as the rnhp and nanachi.
This is just a hypothesis.

I’ve got a fever, and the cure is MORE HIFI GEAR! :grin::grin:

I like the way you’re thinking. A little more life from the DAC combined with the capabilities of the Phonitor.

I’m looking forward to hearing what you hear when the Ares arrives.

“Quantum” being the currency in your country. :stuck_out_tongue:

Bit of an unusual request, but if an RNHP owner could get me some photos of the internal bits of their baby.
I would like the numbers of the Chips in A, B and C to be readable.

Take them so the lens is centered over each of these quadrants (resulting in 4 images):

I am a curious electronics hobbyist with very little spare change, thanks in advance.

Has anyone listened to both this and the Archel Pro 2/2.5? I’ve heard a lot of good things about both of them, but I wonder how they compare - both with quality and with power.

So power wise I think the 2.5 pro can give a bit more oomph to some hungry headphones, but sound wise I think the rnhp is a significant step up sound wise imo, it improves on naturalness, dynamics, detail, presentation, and overall control. For which one you go with (the 2.5 or rnhp) it depends on what headphones you would pair it with

I have reviewed both, literally finishing up the review of the 2.5 now.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Also have the RNHP AMP open to buy, decisions, decisions

I’m also pretty curious too, although I’m more of a Tube/Beefy Hybrids/Big SS type of hobbyist, the ones with big ole heat-sink mounted Transistors and resistors and electron emitting vacuum sealed triodes, it’s still nice to expand my reach and figure out how more modern amp architecture works, especially such a commended amp.

It’s actually really cool to see how they can downsize so many components and still make it sound excellent and with relatively high power.

Awesome review, so the 2.5 sounds better than the 2 when feeding it with the XLR inputs? Do i have that right?

F sakes guys! I was happy with my el amp!!!

if you REALLY want to be just happy with what you have on-hand right now… you should change the password to your account to something impossible to remember, then just forget it… and then setup a blocker to block this website from your browser… then torch your computer altogether. Done…

Those are all good steps, but maybe stop before you torch your computer :smiley:
