FiiO Warmer Desktop R2R Tube Buffer and DAC

Warmer R2R Impressions

Though the Warmer was delayed for several months I was eager to listen to it when it finally arrived. Out of the box I replaced the JJ's with 4 Gold Lion's and ran it for about 24 hours to get it broke-in a bit. It replaced a Denafrips Pontus I've had for several years. The Warmer's sound is very nice, a small amount less detail in bass and treble but that worked well with my vintage Altec Valencia speakers. Recommended for those using horns that get strident (beaming) at high frequencies with higher volume, or whose systems have too much treble energy. I'm keeping it.

Wow

This is an amazing piece of gear for the price. Was not sure what to expect. As soon as I turned it on I was shocked at the sound. I love the warm presentation. Well worth the wait in shipping. Love the VU meters!

Outstanding piece of audio gear

The FiiO Warmer Desktop R2R Tube Buffer and DAC was excellent sounding right out of the box! This piece will compete with units many times it's price. Very clean chassis layout and design.
