I would say that at least half the small or portable amps that I have come across have this issue of low volume knob position channel imbalance.

Should I just get an attenuator?

Umm that does not sound correct. Have you tried another pair of headphones?

I will contact you and see what's going on...

Sorry for this question, but does the Carat-Topaz have a synergy with Beyer 880/600?

Craig has generously agreed to kick off an eval program to 10 or so headfi members, to review the Topaz amp and Whiplash's Spotlight USB cable. Those who are interested in taking part, pm Craig directly and he will select the reviewers.

Rules:
-1 to 2 week auditioning
-Must post comments / reviews in this thread
-The Topaz must be sent to the next person on the list using USPS priority service / UPS / FedEx with delivery confirmation / tracking
-The unit needs to be shipped in the same condition that they received it
-Separate comments should be added on the USB cable itself
-US only

I'm posting this b/c I'll be the first reviewer. The Topaz and Polestar cable are on its way to me now, and I should receive it within the next few days. A review will then be forthcoming in a couple of weeks.
i am super interested to see how this dac compares to the d10 and linearrosa w3 and the go vibe vulcan dac's---toslink--coaxial, and usb

cant wait to read you review

i really like the 1/4 jack
