Ready to write a piece of clothing article twenty-eight: the first sun Kai sound IDAC6 decoder & Schitt Valhalla2 amp

Recently played a lot of things, this time to introduce to everyone is the Kaixin IDAC6 and Schitt's Valhalla2 gallbladder.

One. Keyin IDAC6

IHA6, which had sunk past Kaiyin, was the amp in 66 sets. This time it was a decoding of 66 sets of sun drying. This decoding is generally rated on the market in general, but due to the very good impression of IHA6, it has been curious about this decoding in the end. The box is exactly the same as iha6. It really is a suit.

This new price of goods 4480, the price is not cheap. But just to catch up with someone out of cabbage, I took a game.

The machine is the same size as the IHA6, sharing the mold, the middle frame is exactly the same, and the volume knob is the same.

Take a look at IHA6, is not it like it. IHA6 basically can be used as a radiator in winter, and IDAC6 suit decoding has no urgency, not a bile duct mode has been a little hot, the bile duct mode boot more than 1 hour, can put your hands on the body above more than 10 seconds Friends can be called warriors. However, this is not bad. You can apply a layer of tin foil to the iida 6 when you listen to music. Then you can play an egg and put a few slices of bacon. You can eat it after listening for a while, and you can cool down the machine by the way.

The front panel from left to right are the power switch, input source switching, tube/transistor tone switching, preamp/lineout switching, and composite function volume knob. The volume knob is usually rotated to adjust the volume, press to rotate afterwards to adjust the filter mode.

From left to right are the analog output sections (XLR, RCA), USB input, RCA coaxial input, AES input, voltage adjustment, and power jack.

This machine as a whole is still somewhat biased in quality. The tri-band is relatively balanced and the sound is relatively clean and transparent. It does not have a strong taste. Although there was a bile duct buffer (four bile ducts inside), the overall switch to the bile duct mode was only a bit smooth and the tone was not much changed. However, although there is no taste, it is not the so-called "Chungchung Atmosphere" machine. It is still not related to straightforwardness.

Good low frequency flexibility, medium frequency quite satisfactory, high frequency extension performance is excellent. The speed is good, there is no feeling of mudslides, and the sound field is of a moderate level. The width is good, the depth is acceptable, and the height is normal. The level of control is a qualified level, and it should be considered as a good reference for second-hand prices.

Replaying vocals, especially in the case of the amp IHA6, which has the same transparent sound, is hardly poisonous, but it's more real. The performance of the playback of musical instruments is very good, the sound is very positive, the sound is very clean, the same is true. The IDAC6's machine has no one's ability to catch people's ears, but it doesn't feel tired for long-term listening. Overall, it's good. Personally think that this machine is best not with NFB6, IHA6 this transparent decoding, but should match Yang Qing HPA3B this warm sound, or schitt valhalla2 this bold.

The same is somewhat modern and the decoding of light taste, IDAC6 is not the same as Nuwave and mojo. Nuwave is a very powerful and forthright voice. It has a high density, high dynamics and low frequency, but it's partial, it's a little dry, and there's more than enough fiddling. Mojo's words are a bit too small for home jasper feeling, the sound field is small and dense, the tuning is excellent, the fluency is very good, but more than exquisite, less bold. The quality of IDAC6 is between Nuwave and mojo. There is a certain gap between nuwave and mojo, which is slightly better than mojo. It is mainly reflected in the sound field and the extension of both ends. As mentioned above, IDAC will not appear to be dry. Compared with mojo, there is no obvious disadvantage in terms of timbre and fluency. To speak of the shortcomings, it is that it is a bit too moderate and balanced, with no prominent features.

Let's talk about the two very important parts of this decoding: the foreline and the interface.

Three or four thousand price points, most of the machines are all-in-one or amp band decoders, IDAC6 is considered to be a rare decoding of the previous class. Decoding the preamplifier means that if you do not listen to the headset, you only need a pair of active boxes, such as PreSonus, which Aunt Zhang often pushes, or the cheaper speakers, Q4 and Q5. It's music. Yang Jing's Mini-i-pro is because of its low price, with a fairly good level of predecessors, so the entry decoder as a play box has a good reputation among fans. The predecessor of the IDAC6 was decent, and I tried it with my post amplifier, the Rambler S2000mk2 and the Sound Effect Q5, and the results were pretty good. Personally think that this is a bonus item that can make the choice of amp become very flexible, because if you listen to the headset there is a listening box, then if the decoding does not have a pre-class, you must choose to bring the preamp amp, and low In the price earphone, most of the earphone jack's preamps do not fly, and the front-end audio amplifiers push the headset to perform in a general manner. The valhalla to be described later is one of the latter. Can not choose no preamp amp, it means that the IHA6 performance of this amp well you can only give up, I just because of the use of pure post-class, decoding without pre-level gave up IHA6. The decoder has a usable preamp, and you at least save the cost of a preamp and a pair of signal lines, which increases the cost performance of decoding in disguise.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that IDAC6 uses the Xmos-U8 chip as its own interface, and its performance is relatively good. Compared with the entry-level interface of Pearl 2 and QA730U with two or three hundred lines of electricity, there is not much difference between the two. IDAC6 can use the built-in interface with peace of mind and do not need to purchase an external interface. This is also a big advantage. An external interface also has to be a thousand and eight hundred, which also improves the cost performance of decoding to some extent. In addition, I forgot to take the IDAC6 accessory. The manual and driver are stored in a key-shaped U disk, which is much higher than the IHA6 card U disk B.

IDAC6 can actually buy new products in more than 3k if they are familiar with the agents, and it will look like 2667 in the second hand. Online evaluation of this machine is not high, first, the initial price is expensive, close to the second-hand price of nuwave, another personal feel that there is a big problem is that there may be a lot of friends with the suit amp IHA6 reached the conclusion, Manufacturers put these two machines as suits, but personally I think IHA6 and IDAC6 are not too good, transparent decoding + transparent amp = fading birds, listening to nothing taste, but there is 1+1<2.

On the occasion, I feel that this decoding is more reliable, and it is worthwhile to use this second-hand price, especially when playing with boxes. With its own predecessor, there is a reliable interface that can reduce a lot of peripheral links. If you don't listen to the headphones and only listen to the box, you only need one decoder. For a friend with a budget of two or three thousand, this machine is still recommended, but be careful with it.

Lastly, remind me that the bile duct mode machine is hot enough. If you do not want to eat roasted trotters, try not to press the handle onto the top cover.

II. Schitt Valhalla2

Schitt's machine has a very good reputation among fans. The best word of mouth at the moment is the decoding of Yggdrasil by his family. Because Schitt looks and reads very much like shit, he is graciously called by the family. Yggdrasil is YGG because of the shorthand, and it is kindly known as pheasants. His family's things are relatively cheap. The bowls are made of solid materials. He Qinghua has the same skills as the domestic He Qinghua. Therefore, he is kindly called He Qinghua of the United States. Of course, all the things in the family are very good-looking, and no matter how silly the black and white team can't compare.

The names of the family's machines are basically related to Nordic mythology. They are the world tree Yggdrasil, the dusk of the gods Ragnarock, the Asgard Asgard, and the Kungunni Gungnir. This is an amp for his home, Valhalla 2.

Although carrying the magnificent name of the Temple of the Holy Spirit, but the goods are actually the middle of the family amp, his home 7 pure amp, valhalla2 ranked fourth, priced at 349 US dollars, the new to hand 2k7 or so, I was 1k8 closed Come.

The machine is a classic home model, and a single U-shaped aluminum plate forms the upper and lower chassis and front panel. On the top of the machine there is a home's logo, and the four holes on the right are used to insert bile ducts.

The valhalla2 is small and compact, with only a volume knob and a 6.3mm headphone jack on the front.

The back is gray, from left to right are RCA input, preamp output, gain adjustment, switch and power jack. Personally, it is not like the machine behind the switch. To tell the truth, it is too much trouble. Every time the switch is turned on and off, the civilian machine puts the switch in front of it.

The sides are also gray, leaving cooling holes.

The valhalla2 is a tube amplifier, and the machine's tubes are a pair of 6H1n and a pair of 6H6n.

After plugging in the tube, it looks much better. Valhalla2 uses an OTL structure and does not use output cows. About OTL details, you can refer to Baidu Encyclopedia.

Valhalla2's bile ducts are not very bright, not like bulbs, only the filaments are slightly reddened. In addition, although it is a gallbladder, but in addition to the heat after the tube is hot, the body is not particularly exaggerated, the heat between the IHA6 (high current high gain radiator mode) and IDAC (bile tube omelet mode), hands up No direct damage will occur. However, the bile duct must be careful, be sure not to touch the state of electricity, or easy to burn. However, we can set up a mini bakeware above the bile duct and listen to the song while grilling sausages.

Valhalla2's size and IDAC are relatively close, personally feel that compared to the suit IHA6, but valhalla2's style to take a little more.

Although valhalla2 is a gallbladder, it is not the kind of machine with rich flavor. The whole is relatively light and has no taste. However, it may be due to the general reason of the machine belt pipe. It is slightly confusing and the high frequency extension is not very good. Of course, the analysis and extension itself is not the appearance of the low-end amplifier.

To be honest this machine's PO port is not very good, the adaptation surface is not too wide, more suitable for high impedance, low impedance headphones with low gain push improvise, but 9500 and RS2E will feel a little bit washed, and HE400i think Some currents are not fed enough, even with high gain permeability and dynamic performance is not too good, HE560 would be a bit boring. HD600's words match well, but the feeling is not very strong driving force, dynamic and speed performance is not outstanding, compared with throwing a small second there is a certain gap between strength. Overall, the valhalla2's PO mouth can only say enough, compared with the IHA6 gap is still more obvious. Personally think Valhalla 2 best adaptation object is hd600/650.

Although the headphone jack is flat, it is not always possible to perform only at this point. After trying the pre-graduation, I discovered that it was. If you only listen to the headphone jack of this machine, you will feel that this machine is just like this. If you listen to its preamp, you will find that the focus of this machine is not on the headphone jack. . . I have to say this is a little bit embarrassing. This machine is a bit like the overall weakening of the starter version of ZOTL2, headset hole and the pre-level is basically the relationship between the three-seven open, the ability of the former level is much stronger than the headset hole. I tried to use it at the current level to connect the MAP1 level, the sound Q5, compared with Weiliang's imitation MBL6010D pre-advanced version, IDAC6 comes with the pre-class, as well as rejection of the second grade pre-level, the overall effect is still quite good , obviously better than the imitation 6010D, a lot better than the IDAC6's own front-level, much better than the rejection of the second-level predecessors, mainly reflected in the not so red, the overall sound is more gentle stretch, in addition to a little bit of paste is not too Obvious shortcomings. In view of its own amp is also decent, I think the use of second-hand 1k8, is a rare preamp amp. For friends who only play with headphones may not be useful, but if you also play with the box, for example, with a pair of Q5 is a very good combination, but also to drive the hd600 is good, personal feel is considered a very good choice. The shortcoming is to say that there is only RCA at the front level and no XLR. However, the price of the preamp amp, phase will not be too expensive for it with speakers, Tanner BM5mk3 and Zenith M030 is also RCA input, if you want to choose a slightly more expensive speakers can be considered. But the box is at that price, I think zotl is more appropriate.


Three. Summary

In general, IDAC6 and Valhalla2 all have certain deficiencies, but they all have certain advantages in terms of functionality, and second-hand prices are relatively low. If you play with boxes, you have a certain degree of competitiveness in the same price range, and there is a demand for friends. Can try it.
