    Can a mojo 2 feed a powered sub?

    If I run a 3.5mm to rca cable from my mojo 2 to a powered sub would that work? The sub has a selectable crossover so I assume it would be ok but I wonder if the signal might be too weak since normally it would be connected to an AV receiver putting out more than 100x more power. I would just...

    I’m ringing out wires but everything is showing continuity?

    I’m re-terminating a headphone cable and I need to ring them out to see which is which at this point but no matter which part of the connection I touch I get continuity. It is a single strand wire and if I touch left right or ground on either side of the headphone connection it is still showing...

    Tube amp suggestions for sensitive planar headphones?

    I have a pair of HiFiman HE1000SE planar headphones which are rated at 35 ohms and 96db sensitivity. They are very easy to drive so the total power of the amp would be not much of an issue unless it’s way too powerful. I plan to use them mostly on a Chord mojo 2 but I would like to have a tube...

    Is there a list somewhere of existing DIY headphone amp plans?

    I’m interested in possibly building my own tube amp. It doesn’t need to be very powerful since my headphones are very easy to drive but it needs to have a big tube sound. Maybe something with a 300b but not necessarily. Preferably something that isn’t hideous. Preferably would like too keep...

    Roon questions

    I still don’t totally understand what Roon is or does. I tried to watch a few videos on YouTube to understand it better but I feel like without actually using it hands on I’m not totally understanding the benefits it offers. If If If I’m primarily using an iPhone as a source what would be the...

    question about using 2 amps to power 1 headphone

    I was wondering if it would make any sense at all to use 2 amps sort of like mono blocks. Just for an example let’s say you had 2 bottlehead cracks and wired one up to only do right and the other to only do left. Would there be any significant improvement vs just using one in stereo? I’m more...

    Looking for open back planar to complement my ZMF VC

    I currently have a ZMF VC and a few different amps. I have a woo wa7 gen 2 with tube psu, Burson Conductor 3XR, and a chord mojo 2. Im open to selling the Burson to get another beefier tube amp depending which planar I get. I know I want something with a ton of detail. Preferably something that...

    How to do SE wiring with 2 wires into 4 pin mini xlr

    I’m going to be taking my first shot at doing a diy cable. I noticed most cables for audeze, meze, zmf have only 2 wires going to the 4 pin mini xlr connectors. Can anyone explain the proper way to wire it in this configuration please?

    iPhone vs dap for apple lossless

    I have an iPhone 12 Pro currently as my source to play apple lossless to my dac. Is there any real advantage to a dap if all I do is stream Apple Music? If they would make a noticeable difference do any even support streaming from Apple Music? For reference my dac will be a mojo 2 so I’d rather...

    Tube amp questions for endgame setup

    To start out I currently use a pair of ZMF Verite closed backs. These may be the forever pair however I’m still trying to put ears on some Abyss Diana phi or v2 before I officially declare a permanent winner though. I will be running an ifi Diablo as my portable option which can also double as a...
