Packaging is nice, well presented and protected.Sound Approach will match an Authorized USA Dealer's advertised price upon verification and release by the product manufacturer or distributor. It is the fanmusic C model of a Chinese manufacturer, but it has left a UK store and arrived in 4 days to Bilbao. The cable I've tested is well constructed, ended with a Neutrik XLR 4-pin connector, with a length of 2 meters and covered with fabric. On the other hand, it's just an amplifier and doesn't have a dedicated DAC, but I've done tests connecting the analog output of my iFi iDSD nano acting as DAC, and I haven't notice any clear differences with the AKM AK4490 DAC of the TA-10. I want to try the XDuoo TA-20, which has a full-balanced design with two valves. Volume level are practically the same (as expected, both with 2000mW at 32 ohm), but the sound I percieve with the balanced output is cleaner and more detailed, even with a little more body than the single-ended output. And after several tests, I must say both outputs sound different. Though I didn't expect big differences between outputs, I've bought an 4pin XLR terminated cable for my Sennheiser HD 650 to see how the XDuoo TA-10 performs with it. In this case, the comfort of having in the same equipment the DAC and digital inputs and outputs, is a very interesting plus. I had very good memories of it with the Sennheiser HD 650.
It's similar to the Musical Fidelity X-CAN V3 I had in the past. It mixes a solid state amplifier with a 12AU7 pre-amp tube, a classic hybrid.

It's a hybrid design and we can't say that it is a full tube amp because it does not have power tubes.

It is typical setup of professional connections with long cables, and I do not think that a cable of less than 2m to my Sennheiser HD 650 will get cleaner than I already have, which as I say is a perfect black background.Īlso, I've read that its design is not fully balanced, but I'll try it out. I do not yet have a balanced cable for my Sennheiser HD 650 and I'm curious to see the difference between the two inputs, although I only expect an increase in volume, as usually balanced connections transport two stereo signals, opposite in phase and inverted, which are added together to avoid noise on very long connections. As always, Steven sent it to me by DHL in exchange for my honest review, and in this case he did have to pay customs.
Keep in mind that it comes from China and may be stopped at customs, which would add about 25€ more to the price.
If you want to try it, you can get it at Xduoo TA-10 USB Tube Headphone Amplifier AK4490 XMOS - Xtenik Audio for $290.90 (about 258€ at the current exchange rate). It offers great sound with a perfect black background free of noise, something I've always had a hard time getting with valve equipment. It is compact, with good construction quality and although this is subjective, I think it is quite beautiful.

I'm still testing equipment from the Chinese manufacturer xDuoo, and this time Steven from Xtenik Audio had proposed to test the portable amplifier Poke amp, but I told him that having tried the xDuoo XP-2 recently, I wanted to try a desktop device, and I proposed the xDuoo TA-10, a very versatile hybrid tube amp, DAC and preamp with multiple inputs and double headphone output, either balanced or unbalanced. Others may even find the plan boring, but for me it's a real pleasure. Saturday morning, summer in the Basque country, an open window, fresh air, a good coffee, peace to enjoy your favourite music, a new all-in-one tube amp to see if we find new nuances.
