However, I have a small remark, which I include in the following:
The front step's left button, on the right side of the display, has three functions:
1. Press it once, and a blue dot will appear, which determines whether you want the automatic shutdown of the display, or whether you want it to be always on. (One nitpick: it would have been nice to have two modes of brightness of the display, to switch between.)
2. Press it quickly twice, and you will get to the pre-volume function, which is intended to adapt signal sources with different output levels to achieve the same degree of volume. LEAVE THIS FEATURE, if you don't feel you have to use it, and deteriorate the sound! I feel that the sound is affected noticeably with this function - it gives a filter effect which is obvious, if you compare it with mode 9 (no pre-volume). Even when you compensate the db. However, feel free to try it and form your own opinion.
3. Press the button quickly three times, and you will enter the preamp's two gain modes: either 6 db or 16 db gain. This feature is very useful! I use the pre-stage with the 6 db mode and find no penalty between the two settings, either than obviously different gain.
All in all: a wonderful preamp that is more than worth its asking price. And, you can buy with confidence: Jos and Magna Hifi gave me great service and a quick response to all my (many) questions.

I think Bliss deserves a spot in solid state hall of fame. It has has both an amazing sound quality and an amazing character. It can run literally any headphones well, has all the necessary features and doesn't have any obvious flaws. For many it may be the end of the road in the search for a perfect solid state headphone amp. It was for me. It's a bliss :).

My whole system sounds ‘right’ now in a way I’ve never heard before. It’s a feeling that’s similar across all input formats and musical genres. Excellent soundstage, neutral frequency response, realistic timbre, excellent micro detail, good low end drive and the blackest of black backgrounds.

I have yet to decide if I prefer NOS or OS. The effect of the vynil record simulation, which is suppposed to provide the smoothest setting, isn't yet clear to me and I don't hear much of a difference. Using it mostly with HD800S and Arya Sealth Edition. It also proved an outstanding match for my Beyerdynamic T90 whos high register is less extreme with this amplifier than it is also with a (modest) tube amp such as the Little dot mk III, which I am now selling. Indeed it seems that the same sonic results of OTL tube amplification can be obtained by the R28: not sure if it is just due to the R2R decoding or if also the amplifier plays a role.
Great service from Magnahifi is the icing on the cake.

I am extremely satisfied by the performance of the Mano.
First of all RopieeXL software is a breeze to the set up in Roon.
I have compared Mano with the Bluesound Node 2i (modified with PD creative interface) powered by the same Farad S3 LPS and with Farad Level 2 silver DC cable
The improvement is really huge: in few words I would say the Mano mk3 sounds gently and musical albeit extremely resolving.

It sounded quite nice directly out of the box, but a bit rough. After
only 10 hours of burn-in things started to happen and the soundstage
opened up and the amp has great dynamics. Now after 48 hours of burn-in
it already sounds great and are improving by the hour.
It works nicely with any DAC you pair it with, but it really shines when
combined with the May DAC. My Hifiman Arya Stealth Magnet headphones
just sounds beautiful with the Bliss/may combination.
Bliss is simply the best solid state headphone amp I've listened to!
There is only one small complaint and that is that the display color is
slightly different than the May and Serene. It's more light blue than
the more white display of the May and Serene which also is a bit
brighter. The copper buttons is also slightly different in color on the
Bliss.
I just love HoloAudio stuff and now I'm eagerly waiting to test the
HoloAudio Red.

The only reason i have not given 5 stars is because there is no WiFi possibility. I am however extremely happy with the sound quality of this device. The sound quality exceeds my expectations.

Now it's probably close to 100 hours of burn-in and I can judge at its true value.
The improvement has exceeded my expectations. Not in the "small" area, on the contrary ! It's so big
