Review of Little Dot MKV Dual Mono Solid State Headphone Amplifier
Jun 23, 2009 at 10:41 PM Post #661 of 740
I got my MKV last Friday, I have tested it with a 55 Ohm K242HD and there was no hiss what so ever, the same goes for my 600 Ohm K240DF, but that's no surprise.

This amp sounds wonderful, I think I will be upgrading to the MKVII sometime though, the specs for that amp was posted on the little-tube forum the other day, it looks absolutely crazy!

Oh poor wallet...

Going to upgrade from my MKI to a MKV when I save up the money. Looks like it'll be a good choice

Just received one to drive my AKG K701. I can compare it only against my old Rega Ear, and I can say that out of the box the MKV wins hands down!! I'll listen during the week end and then I'll post my thoughts.

It looks like i am reviving a thread....but how would you rate this amps performance with grados particularly the HF2 and the alo 780s as these are my main headphones??

Thanks for that, I have been doing some further reading and it seems that it may not be as suitable for low impedence cans, and generates a hiss???? is this true or would it be something else?

Also I run a separate power amp and avr (as pre) in my system. Would I connect the LDMkv into the headphone jack on my avr? Or do I connect it to the power amp? What input/output do I need to connect it to?

I'm fairly new to this so just working through to finding a suitable amp within my price range, hence the plethora of questions.

okay well the K701 isn't a normal low impedance headphone...i used the MKV for a while and did not notice a hiss

the most important thing is to look at where/when/how you will be doing your listening.

what is your source brand and model (cd player)?

Okay, that's good news.

I bought the headphones due to a new addition into the family, and won't be able to listen at any decent volume through my speaker system for quite some time yet.

My CD player is about 10 yrs old it's an old pioneer which I am thinking of upgrading to either the emotiva ERC-1 or the HK HD990. However, my listening time is broken down to about 20% music, 80% HT. So my focus is on HT listening.

ahh i see - you may need to post a question to the general forum about what amp is best for your needs! The MKV is good for old fashioned 2 channel listening, but I reckon you may be able to find something that is more suited your needs for sure!

Hi guys, (hope it's ok to bump a sorta-old thread)


I'm about to buy a MK V and have some questions. I've already done some research but all this info can make my head SPIN after reading for a few hours

Curren't equipment:
Denon AH-D2000 Headphones
Headroom "total bithead" headphone amp

I plan on listening to music through my computer, and my iPod.

For the iPod, this should work:
Amazon.com: Cables To Go 4-Feet RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable for iPod: Electronics
=======================
For the computer: whats the best solution? I just have an onboard soundcard, and going out the 1/8" jack seems like it wouldn't be the best solution. (Can you go out USB, or...?)

=======================

Thanks for any help!
