The Local User Review by Melvin
- First review so here goes
Recently got an MPA2.5 from Alvin and when I plugged it into my system which is a DIVA CDP and a Sennheiser HD650 coupled with a ZU Mobius cable, I was amazed to hear how full and musical it was.
Coming from a past where I used to have quite a couple of budget headphone amps like little dot and the simpler SS headphone amps, was taken off when I tried this.
Firstly to note is that I have tried before certain rave reviews SS headphone amps like the beta-22 so I have the rough idea of how the best of SS should sound. For the MPA2.5, it is smooth as comparable to other SS which I have tired and somehow if want to compare in aspect wise, it will not lose to a beta-22 for its price/size to quality. Both the treble and bass control was tidy and was not in a mess, even when I tried with Zhang YuSheng which is very demanding for treble, it can drive it up to my Sennheiser HD650.
Personally I feel that all headphone amps have certain mojo in them and the mojo in this MPA2.5 sound terrific.
Over the weekend I took DAC7010 from Alvin. Not robbing, just lending. On first try I feel the coaxial out sound similar to my cdp analogue out. But on further listening, it makes the music minor details fuller and the music to be more flexible to the genre of music. It also makes the certain genre of music to be more dynamic much more than the MPA2.5 alone. - Detailed Review by MPA2.5 user - David Nofing
