A versatile 3-in-1 device (Tube Preamp, DAC, Headphone Amp). It uses a 6N3 tube buffer to add warmth to digital sources. It is significantly better built than the cheaper T6 Pro and includes a remote.

Things to Know

  • Headphone output output impedance is not specified but struggles with very low impedance IEMs.
  • The tube is difficult to roll (change) due to the chassis design.
  • RCA output level is slightly lower than standard 2V line level.

Reviews

Everything is beautiful, sound is excellent, but be aware that the output RCA is weak, like 1.9 V. So if you want more volume you really have to crank it up.

Audiophonics User Review (Miutescu E.)

So to me, this would make a great addition to an office where you don’t want to use the headphone jack on your computer, and you want something that looks interesting, but you can’t justify spending more.
