I just received my ZBIT with two outputs and one volume control. In my system in my livingroom, I am feeding a Hegel HD30 DAC into a Copland push-pull (with KT120’s) with ProAc D28 speakers and a TABOO mkIII with an Audeze LCD-2. Hegel has both RCA and XLR outputs. Even at its full-volume (Hegel’s volume), I did not enjoy listening to the TABOO much as it lacked something in the bass compartment (my usual problem). I had a feeling from what I have read on the Forum that the ZBIT would resolve the issue by doubling the input into the TABOO. And baaam! Here it is!
As I am writing this, I am listening to some Robert Glasper, and I have never heard the TABOO and the Audeze sound this good. By the way, volumes on the TABOO are at full (both the gains and output) and the ZBIT is at 2:00 o’clock. The lucid mode is off. The tube compartment of the TABOO includes a NOS Siemens 6922, the stock SV83’s and a NOS RCA 5Y3GT.
When I fed the Copland with the ZBIT, I must admit I did not care much for it. Direct feed from Hegel into the Copland via RCA’s sounds so good already, I felt like the ZBIT took part of the body out.
Is the ZBIT a keeper? Hell yeah! With the TABOO, it is amazing! I cannot wait till it fully breaks in.
In the meantime, I think I am done for the time being in terms of sources, DAC’s, pre- and power amps. The only itch I am left with is a pair of speakers for my bedroom, maybe a pair of Zu’s...
Thanks for another wonderful product, Steve!!!
