Still enjoying the P20 immensely. As much as I don’t like to admit it, I prefer listening to my music on my headphone setup at this point, compared to my loudspeaker rig I also thoroughly enjoy and obsess over.
I decided to go balanced DAC, and signed up for preorder now… @Torq’s review of the MASSDROP X GRACE DESIGN STANDARD DAC BALANCED was the tipping point. I had been eyeing this balanced DAC to pair up with the P20 and found the excuse I was looking for to pull the trigger on the purchase. MD says a shipping date of 8/20. I can’t wait to finally hear this amp in a fully balanced configuration. I’m hopeful it’s going to be a good pairing given all of the positive reviews I have seen on the DAC.
As a side note, I hope I get the DAC before Tool’s next album is out on the 30th, so I can enjoy it in full balanced delight. That would be magic for me.
