No idea if this is transparent as a Sys, but Funk was right, this is a bargain. the unit functions as a DAC/amp, amp _and_ preamp, which honestly seems pretty amazing.I was lucky and received a unit without any USB plug issues.also moar bass than the above, with the exception of the DACPort Slim (which uses the same Velvet Sound AKM4490, but through which I hear less detail according to my notes when I tried it).excellent for the price: more punchy and better sustain than any of the other transportable gear I've heard at this price point (FiiO's X3, X3ii, CEntrance DACPort Slim, Creative SoundBlaster E5).The real volume control dial is mostly* life-changing. To begin with: I thought that using a digital volume slider was an acceptable workflow. I don't have anything fancier, so take these with a grain of salt. Having used these for the past month or so, I suppose I can now provide a few impressions with cheap gear (ATH-M50x, Sony MDR-7506, CA Orion, and preamp out to Yamaha HS7s). The measurements are 20db worse then the Douk's, but at 70-80db below the fundamental, not likely to be audible. Taken at 0.525Vrms into 330ohms so they can be comparable to the Douk DSD. The fact is, when the Enterprise-E is in deep doo doo, like in an asteroid field with hundreds of lives at stake, Commander Riker is going to use a fricking joystick to get them out of trouble. Thank you Trying to set volume on Windows UI sliders with a mouse is like steering the Enterprise-E with touch screen panel. Also, unlike the Douk, plugging in the extra power connector made a small but very notable improvement in sound quality when using the HD650: less strain, smoother treble, and more lively - better microdynamics. The Fulla 2 seems a tad clearer, moderately more incisive, and less glossed over. I had to take about an hour listening to each to accustomize myself to their sound. Going back and forth, it was initially difficult to tell them apart. The Fulla 2 and Douk sound alike, both exhibiting a bit of warmth. Both connectors (to computer USB port and power) on the back are micro USB. Like the Douk, the Fulla 2 has provisions for extra power from a USB phone charger. I have not read anything in that thread past the point where folks started to talk about its sound. I am actually kind of curious what others said about it. You get the idea.Īlso feel free to catch up here for more subjective impressions (might have to skip a few pages): The Fulla 2 actually sounds a lot like the Magni / Modi 2 stack. ![]() Schiit Fulla 2 AIO DAC/Headamp Quick Impressions and Measurements ![]()
