Kinki EX M1 user comments

I’m really happy with the sound of my EX M1, and I’d like to encourage folks to post their comments as they join the user base. I started using mine around August 24, and though I was skeptical about just how good the sound would be, or that it would improve over time, I was wrong on both counts. 

Also, I hope folks will note engineering or other changes as they occur. So far, there is a gain switch and a ground jumper, and silver rather than black remotes versus the original.

Let’s start hearing from new users!

The Kinki is still in the running as an upcoming possible choice so glad to hear this thread is still in the discussion of the EX M1's strengths.

Using high gain, for me the sound is lush and lovely. Wonder what would happen if I flipped it off?  😜

Are you using high or low gain?  I’ve never used low gain. My typical listening level is between 15 and 20 with a Bluesound node 2, set to about 90% gain. I’m delighted with high gain, but curious about none. 👀
