Good luck in your search. I have a pair of .7 for sale but not quite what you're looking for. 🙂

A great buy. I had the Musical Fidelity A5 integrated and it was an excellent amp. Loads of power and very enjoyable.

I bought a pair of these last week and am loving them. A bargain at that price.

I don't always see my notifications so sorry for the late reply. I've upgraded my headphones and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic T1 mk2. Really enjoying them especially on an old Marantz esotec pm4 headphone output. As good as the Beyers are the HE400i are excellent value for the $320aud new I paid a few years ago. Had I been able to visit A2A recently I would have liked to hear other models up the hifiman range. In the meantime I'll enjoy the music and not think about valve amps for headphones. Having owned several speaker valve amps over the years I'm not liking my chances.

Thanks Tezza. So it uses the main amp. It's a remarkably clear and detailed amp the pm4.

Thanks. I didn't realise there is one. Handy to know.

Hi, I have a Marantz PM4 Esotec amp. Does anybody know where I can get a free copy of the circuit diagram/schematic for this? I'm curious to know if the headphone input runs off the main amp circuit or a separate headphone one. It sounds great which makes me think it's the same as main circuit. Cheers, Legselevens

5 years on and still enjoying mine. glwts.

Just to update I've been using the D10s as a usb to spdif converter and I'm very happy with it. Thanks for the suggestions.

I still use audio alchemy gear. It's far more from perfect but it's held up to competition over 15 years worth of different dacs.

@Gabehcuod I have the .7 magnepans that have been in storage for the last 4 years. They were used for about 5 months maybe less before having to store them. I've been thinking I should sell them so pm me if you're interested. They're in Melbourne in original packaging. I bought them from Audio Trends in Ringwood.

Hey thanks for that. I'm keeping well. I've been looking into the Topping unit and it was a nose closer than the Gustard in my short googling efforts so far. Having heard your system in the past and the quality gear that passes under your nose that's a tick for the Topping.

Thanks for the replies all. I'd like to try an Audiophilleo but none for sale at the moment. The topping d10 and Gustard look interesting. I also have the Audio Alchemy DTI pro32 which I imagine would improve the signal if fed from a lesser device.

Hi, Can anyone suggest how I can get the digital audio signal from a laptop to an old dac that doesn't have usb input? The dac in question is an Audio Alchemy DDE v3 with coax BNC, toslink and I2s inputs. Googled image below.

I'm interested. I'll pm you. @DrMikeOz
