The only time I tried the XM5 without the BUF634 was with the AD8397 board.  Sorry I can't help.

is the ipower 9V from thomas distributing better than the $25 one offered from PDC?  I guess it needs its own charger (>$30), which makes the PDC one seem like a good deal.

Had mine for almost a year now and still use it daily. Great sounding amp
July will be 2 years with my XM-5. I haven't tried the 8065 chips yet, but will get to them one day. I wonder if anyone has tried it with the Beyer DT-880's.... probably my next headphone upgrade.

Hi, I have the 880's 250, with the 8065+buff634. It's a killer combo. You know the feeling when the music sounds so good you want to turn in up more, then a bit more, until you're listening at way more than normal. Yea, that's it. Bass is good, fairly tight. Miss and highs are very transparent. I recabled as well, that makes a bit of difference. Original cables are thin and there's only one neutral wire.
