I have been a user of Geshelli for quite some time. Awesome family/compny. Extreme cost to performance, have at least 4 components and love them all. I think their dacs are incredible and looking forward to getting a socketed dac. I would have no problems going with any of their electronics. They are function first and that is what is important to me. Go Gino and Sherry. You are great.

I have the SMSL SU-1 with the AKM 4493 chipset. I’ve always wondered if the J2s 4493 would sound better.

I’ve been happy with the SU-1.

Even though ifI Audio is manufactured in China, the company is based in the UK. I have a Gryphon that was 3mo. out of warranty and they went ahead and replaced the battery at no charge. On top of that they were worried about my usb charging device so they sent me one of there dedicated 5v chargers that is noise free at no charge. Kudos to ifI Audio. Show me a China based audio company that would do all that. It really helped that their repair facility is in Virginia. Geshelli is TOTL stuff. They are in another league entirely when it comes to customization and customer service. I love your channel TDM. You are an invaluable asset to the community. Thank you.

Great video but man a nearly 3 minute intro was a bit much. Nearly clicked off before the actual video even started. Keep up the great work.

After trying over 20 op amps including discrete types, the Stacatto is the winner.

Geshelli is a great company. They could sell shoes and I’d buy them.

New subscriber here and such a great video of information.

Newbie question.

We have a 2.1 music and movie room where we enjoy both equally.

I very much enjoy the micro details in music.

Could you help point me in the right direction on which AKM chip set would have more detail in the music?

Have you tested the Sparkos ss2590 Big Mac OP Amp that you mentioned in this video?

I live in Orlando Florida so definitely want to support Geshelli Labs.

Happy New Year

Many thanks.

I have the Khadas tone 2 pro dac hooked up to a Geshelli Archel 2.5 pro headphone amp and every time i listen to this setup it brings a BIG smile to my face, ... (now seriously considering the J2s dac though) !

[nmatheis]

Just looked at the Geshelli website and like what I see, although I think they're missing an opportunity in their flagship amp in that it has balanced in but only single ended out. Would be nice to see balanced + single ended with the tone controls!

[randypentecostes]

Which of the two would you recommend for tHe wiim ultra connected to the q acoustics m20

[chrisydarg]

Thank you for the review! I have a near new pair of campfire andromeda gold for sale.

Holly cow man. The background music is so damn loud I can't watch the video

[brianvportugal]

I agree just purchased a j2 with AK4499 chip and sparkos op amp. It was a noticeable step up from the 4499 alone.

[josephgreer]

Can you get the 4493 then later upgrade to the 4499?

[ekjellgren]

What would you pair with a Burson 3XP with SS2590s?

[whome]

I found the 4493 lacks bass. Which was irritating as the cheap audio man said that is what it brought. Has good detail and midrange.

The problem with Geshelli is they have no app so you could select the different filters that are built into the 4493 or the 4499. You could buy dacs that cost the same and offer an app to change the dac settings. Even my wiim pro plus with the 4493 has an app to change dac filters. Geshelli is a pass until they develop an app.
