Hi guys! I've been contemplating buying a hybrid tube amp for my Hifiman Arya Stealth. I've had a chance to demo Xduoo TA-22 at a local music store and I instantly fell in love with it's sound, which I didn't expect at all. I even did a blind test with the help of a store employee comparing it to my iBasso DX180 and the difference in sound was still perceivable.
However this great device is way over my current budget (under 300$) so I wanted to ask people who have owned different Xduoo products this - does Xduoo TA-10r sound any different to TA-22? And are there any other tube amps that have the TA-22 sound under 300$?
