Love it

I bought the CS-55-A

The Amp is great. The stock EL34s sound really good after about 5 hours break-in. Better than the 6550EH tubes that I bought to roll in. A big upgrade for me at a reasonable price. The only downside is that there is no for a separate preamp to by-pass the internal preamp. Music Teck was great to work with.

Simply Amazing

The Lotoo GT2 is an amazing DAP. The treble has amazing detail and resolution, without harshness. Midrange is less colored than LPGT but meatier at the same time. The bass? I have never heard bass like GT2. It's a monster only biting off the perfect amount. Bass is powerful and accurate. GT2 seems to be made for my Meze 109 Pro headphones, but it sounds wonderful with all. I listen balanced. This DAP underwhelmed me initially but opens like a flower in the sun with more play time.

Lotoo GT2 maintains Lotoo neutrality with power and grace. Do not judge this DAP until you get substantial hours in. It underwhelmed me during the first several days, but is blowing every other DAP I own away now. I own Lotoo Paw Gold Touch, Lotoo Paw 6000, Sony NW-WM1Z, and Sony NW-WM1A. I listen balanced with Meze 109 Pro, Shure SRH1540, and Sennheiser HD660S2 headphones. It seems as if Meze 109 Pro is made for Lotoo GT2, but all my headphones sound phenomenal. The midrange is less colored than LPGT, but meatier. Treble is so detailed with outstanding resolution, absent harshness. The bass? Good Lord, it is a raging monster only biting off what it should. I have never heard such beautiful bass. This player isn't fully burned in. I am at about fifteen hours. I am told GT2 will get even better. I can't even imagine.

Truly the APX of IEMs

I own virtually all the TOTL iems, and I have never heard one as detailed and moving as the PMG APX SE. The bass thumps, the treble glistens, the soundstage is all over and the definition amongst instruments is the best I have heard. It is my clear favorite now.

High-end IEM

First, I must tell that I am not an audiophile, just a music enthusiast. Owning only headphones wanted to give a try to IEMs since I am always on the go. This being my first IEM, wanted to invest in something good so after searching in this price range and reading multiple reviews, decided to go for the Softears Enigma.

Photographs don’t give enough credit; this set is gorgeous and elegant. Engaging, without being extremely striking, so I can listen to my music while I wear suit at work or jeans on the street. But, above all, the sound. Enigma just blowout my mind. Fantastic for my taste: beautifully balance, with good clarity, detail, separation and expanded soundstage. And in the center of all that, the magic of that vocal tuning. Some audiophiles find Enigma treble recessed, not for me: everything is there in the right amount and when music asks for a stronger performance, they become energetic. And add to that excellent comfort.

I pair them with iBasso DX320MAX Ti, Mojo 2 and Lotoo PAW GT2.

I am very happy with them and grateful with Andrew and his team.
