I tried it with topping's linear power supply. It did improve it but at the tot $250 price point there are better options

I own the GL2000. They sounded great off of my E1DA 9038S gen 2

I can confirm. The 3.5 is the balanced version though. Not the normal kind that comes with headphones. I'd recommend the Gustard A18MQA with it. I have it and its my favorite dac with the Denefrips ARES II being a close second

I haven't tried it actually. I don't have a tidal account. In saying that though the Gustard A18MQA is my favorite by far. I took it over both the Topping D90 MQA and SGD1 which I tried both.

Dumb Question. Whats special about the 3.5mm pro balanced jack? Can a normal 3.5mm headphone be used with it?

Pseudo? It's not true balanced?

I have one and really enjoy it

I have one and it sounds great. Nice and clear. Balanced speaker amp at such a price. It's be awesome if Amir ever got one to review

Oops. Sorry. Forgot to list the headphones. I use 3. Meze Empyrean as my Daily Driver, HD800s when I play a game on occasion or in the mood for it's clarity, and Meze Noir when I want to lean my head back and relax. Empyrean via XLR balanced, Hd800s via 4.4 balanced, Noir via 2.5 balanced(with...

I love it. Chose it over the SMSL SP400 and Topping A90. In order I chose the Gustard H16 then the SP400 and the last is the A90.

Yeah. Mine got hot after a few songs

I'm not sure. It's the Denafrips Ares II if that makes a difference

Its the Denafrips Ares II. I have it connected via XLR. Thanks for the help
