Just bought the TA-22 and Meze 109 Pro from you today. I’ve been listening to music all afternoon and they sound fantastic together. Thanks again for hosting me!
Matthew, thank you for the great review as always. Among all good features, three-step gain control seems to be useful for me : an owner of Sennheiser HD660S2, 64 Audio Aspire4, Elysian Acoustic Labs Pilgrim and etc. I guess I found another considerable desktop amplifier under my budget.😍
Thanks for watching!! That’s a great collection. I’ve been looking to get my own Pilgrim for a little while now. Absolutely love that IEMs detail retrieval and overall sound signature!
Thank you for a great review❗️🔆 Seeing Dita Project M makes me think I just took them for a vacation just with apple dongle and Ipad and it was so wonderful😂❤. I wanna ask Matthew did you hear Campfire audio Cascara❓Iam thinking about getting them mainly outdoor, you know fun bassy sound…🧐🙋♂️
I appreciate you watching! I’ve heard Cascara - it’s never been one of my favorites, but I can appreciate it for what it is. If you love a bass heavy, smooth, and fun tuned IEM, it’s a great pickup. I’ve had a lot of casual listens where I just pop them in, play some low end focused tracks, and just enjoy them for what they are. Although they don’t match with my tastes and preferences, I can see why someone would like to have them in their collection :-)
Yes thank you, when I am out and about, I actually like this kind of sound it's more of a grounded companion, in case of Cascara with quality drivers, that was the idea 😊🙋♂️❤️
I don’t have the TA-22. FWIW, since you referenced it extensively, my DCA E3 sound great on the iFi hip-dac 3 I picked up for $179. For comparison, they sound terrible on my $1400 Woo Audio WA7 with the volume maxed out.
Yeah, there are a lot of factors regarding things like output impedance and exactly how the power is delivered which can make a big difference in sound, particularly with lower sensitivity planars.

I have the TA-22 with Genalex Gold Lions, and it is phenomenal. I love it. It powers my Moondrop Venus, Para, and Sennheiser HD 660S all wonderfully.
I love my TA-22. Great detail and warmth.
It’s awesome. Such a great all in one unit. Thanks for checking out the review ✌️
Edition XS for $269 is just mind boggling. It breaks the market lol. Now they need to lower the price on Sundara to $150-200 lol.

I have the HiFiMan Sundara headphones.
Does this have enough power for LOUD listening?
How long are the tubes expected to last?
I see you guys at SoCal

@@jaroslavfricek7772 exactly! Should be great for your use case. Thanks for watching the review ✊
Hi! I have the SMSL-DO400, do you think it is worth upgrading to this TA-22 DAC for me?

Hi I’m looking for something to pair with astell & kern sp2000. Would either this or woo11 topaz be a better option in your humble opinion?
Seems like a budget iFi Pro iCan.
They both take on a lot of different features and ideas and excel at just about every one of them. Definitely see the similarities in that regard!
Bra we r talkin tubes..ha4..Peace!
@@masterazlan6999 guess you don't know that the iFi Pro iCan has a tube mode also...So yeah
FIRST! 🎉

Thank you, Rev! Hope all is well ✊
I paired it with the he-1000 stealth and it sounds incredible to me with tung sol tubes
