With ROON LCD-5 profile is very good. For pop music and electro crossfeed can be very interesting. It's keep the music more in front because being in middle of the band is not very fun!

I have the impression that after letting it play continuously for a few days that the highs are now softer and the atmosphere in general is more relaxed and warm.

Is-it the same in roon ? What you suggest linear or low latency ? With HQPlayer I upsample to dsd 256, what filter should I use ? 384khz or 44 or 48 ?

Have you tried the preset LCD-5 with Roon ?

Thx ! I just ordered a open box LCD-5 from headamp. I will try both

You mean LCD-5 will destroy the 650's or 650 rivals all the high end headphone ? (I am french)

Guys I need your help !! I have gs-x mini and I am using it with my HD650 (balanced cable from Stefan Audio Arts Equinox old gen). At the moment, it's my ultimate reference. Strong bass, plenty of details, stage is quite big and mostly in front of me (ie not too much details left/right disturb...

I just ordered one pair. Will see if better than my beloved HD650/SAA Equinox balanced cable. Will run that through headamp gs-x mini

Do you think CF3 (I am in the pre-order) will give something more than the gs-x mini I own ? My headphone are HD650 and I am using them in balanced.

I am un the preorder. I own a gs-x mini

I wired my 2 x 3 pins xlr in 4 pins this manner ...

After few month with the GS-X, I was using my HD650 with the stock cable because I did't had the xlr 4 pins for my Equinox HD650 cable (2x3 pins). Today, friend installed the XLR 4 pins and go from SE stock cable to XLR Equinox cable ... WOWOWOWOWOWOW! BIG difference in sound using another...

I must modify my cable for 1 x 4 pins XLR. How you deal with this cable ? - Keep each cable like this going to the new connector ? - Twist them together ? - Wrap each cable in a sort of shield sleave and twist them or not ? How route the wire in the xlr 4 pins ?

Any adwice how convert this cable to single 4 pins ? Should I just twist the 2 cables together or put each side in sort of shield sleeve before twist together ?

You notice difference in sound depending of the gain. I have impression high gain give more punch. The gain switch is really a gain or just attenuate less ?

Here my computer setup with the GS-X Mini I am waiting my neutrix 4 pins connector to modify my Equinox 2 x 3 pins XLR.

Hello! Just got my new amp ... "was afraid to have the purple version instead black" ... but was just the transparent film giving that purple color! 8-) Not fancy color I will pair with HD650 / Equinox XLR cable and my dac.

GS-X Mini Satin Black ordered. My Equinox cable XLR for HD650 is 2 x 3 pins. I guess the best thing to do is CUT the cable and put a xlr 4 pins ? Any advice how manage the 2 wires ... twist them together or let them parallel while each side contains 2 brand twisted ?

Do you have suggestions for HD650 I am using Equinox balanced as cable. My DAC is Exasound E28mk2 (balanced dac) I think F12 is better than F10 for my use ? What you think ? Do you think GS-X mini (used) can be a wortly upgrade or I am at 90% the sound of gs-x already with F10/F12 ?
