Testing 1,2,3... Campfire Audio Vega vs Andromeda.

 

I did a quick bit of testing today. rather superficial but one needs to feed the beasts!

 

I used a Logitech SPL meter app on my ipod touch to try to match the volumes somewhat.

I used the stock foam tips on both.

Litz cable.

 

Using the Opus#1 Dap.

 

CA Vega

 

Deep full bass.

Sub bass has medium decay, upper bass fast decay.

Vocals are just a little ahead of the music.

very large soundstage.

Nice soft mids, lingering.

Great detail.

More width than height.

spacey, airy.

Clear, clarity.

Not linear or flat, but even.
