Rudi`s (TOTL) Top of the line set for driving the Abyss

My two TOTL transportable set up for driving Abyss 1266

Sofar only 2 portable set up can drive my Abyss 1266.
They are :

Bakoon HDA 5520 in Current Amp and High Gain.

Mass Ko Bo 404 fully balanced amp.

Source :
AK 100 II
With new Fw 1.28 is excellent as Transport.

Dac Amp :
Chord MoJo as Dac.
I use Line Out = both Volume button lighted light Blue.

Amp :
Bakoon HDA 5520.

Mass KoBo 404.

Headphone :
Abyss 1266 is the best headphone in the world.

Cable :
Atlas UK optical Cable.
IC Crystal Cable Reference Diamond.

Sound Quality:

As first Rank for Driving Headphone Planar is.

BAKOON HDA 5520 .
Because Bakoon has two functions :

CURRENT AMP
VOLTAGE

I use Current Amp in High Gain for Planar as it is the Best Amp.

Sounds really full like a desktop amp .
And the Bass impact and speed are excellent.

The second position is:
Mass KoBo 404.

To drive Abyss 1266 is not as powerful as the Bakoon.
The Clarity and Bass attack is also not as fast as the Bakoon.

Imho.
