    I don't understand why build is even a major point of consideration. It's a fucking box that sits on your desk, as long as its sturdy enough to hold together who fucking cares what material it's made from? Every other point of comparison is 100x more important. Hell, even aesthetics is way more important than the actual material it's made from. Sometimes plastic can look worse than metal, and that is a fair point, but docking the Atom just because it's plastic for no reason other than "metal is always better than plastic" is an empty complaint IMO.

  • @lambdastorm7787
    @lambdastorm7787 5 років тому +2

    I like your review and your opinion lines up with mine as I've owned all 3 amps before. The Magni 3 is easily the worst of the bunch. I've had the Magni 1, Magni 2 Uber and Magni 3 and never liked any single one of them. To me they all sound a bit bright and congested. Liquid Spark is nice. Build quality is exceptional and the volume knob feels very smooth and resistive. I wouldn't be surprised if its an Alps RK27 or some RK27 variant. The sound is warmer than the ATOM and depends on personal taste many would even prefer it to the ATOM. The ATOM is great as well, its extremely transparent sounding and never run out of juice out of any headphone I throw at it except the HE6. The volume knob though feels cheap and the case a bit flimsy. I sold both the Liquid Spark and the ATOM after I acquired a Geshelli Labs Archel PRO. Build quality is okay-ish on these, the transparent case let you see the internals of the amp. Sound is definitely closer to ATOM than both the Magni 3 and Liquid Spark. It's very neutral and analytical, and shows its magic when you pair it with a warm sounding headphone. There are lots of details to be had and things just sound as they should be. But as good as it sounds I have 2 major gripes about these: first off they cheaped out on the volume knob. There's pretty much zero resistance and it gets uncomfortably loud with just a tiny twist. Second, the power supply doesn't have enough power and this thing would distort at higher volume. Swap it out for a 12V 2A power supply easily solved the problem.

      @@MyouKyuubi impedance does not correlate with sensitivity… you should go back and watch the video I posted years ago about “do you need an amp”. It explains how these two numbers interact. 600ohm headphones aren’t very hard to drive, but an 70-80d planar? Good luck without either a 6-10watt amp or hooking it up to speaker-taps. A 40ohm headphone with a low sensitivity is much harder to drive than a 600ohm headphone… this isn’t up for debate lol

      ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I hope to do a dac roundup soon. Honestly though they can pair with DACs above their price range. I've paired atom with DACs from $60-$2600.

    Great and Helpful Video. Thanks! For HD6XX, would you recommend the Atom vs Liquid Spark? Would the Grace SDAC be good for either?
    Lastly, if my source will be CD's, do I need to pay attention to software/hardware related to actually playing the CDs? Thanks!

      Seyllie I use the DT 990 600 OHM with the Magni 2U or Magni 3 and it’s MUCH better than with the Fiio E10K. The E10K does not have a good amp....however the DAC is very good.
