The stock right now. It’s ok. I’d like to try a balanced 4.4mm to take full advantage of this amp (and honestly to see if I can tell a difference). You?

The clarity and detail of the Sundara are really so far ahead of anything I've experienced before. The speed and .... quality(?) of the bass is really impressive. I find the K7 (to my ears) to be peak-clinical/clean chi-fi flatness. I'm guessing maybe that's the THX element. I don't know, I'm still learning and training my ears. I know this is the best sound combination I've ever owned. In this picture, I have the pre-out going to an SMSL A18 aux-in, leading to my Q acoustics speakers.

Just thought I'd share!
