Little Dot MK VI / Little Dot MK VIII SE Owners Unite - Page 6

Does anyone know the default gain settings of the Mk VI? I haven't opened it up to fiddle with it yet! Maybe I can just leave it as it is if its the right setting! Thanks!

low gain.

Anyone find any direct comparisons of the VI and VIII. All I've run across is David's comment the VIII is more "refined".

I think I'll end up just getting the VI+.  I'm slightly confused because the VIII costs a lot more, but the VI+ delivers a lot more power. It seems the pricing should be flipped, or the VIII has a more improved sound signature.

In fact, VIII is designed for high impedance headphone. It does not work well with low impedance cans as VI.

Actually,  Mr. Yang  made VI for K1000 and VIII for HD800. He ordered some custom components  from EU for VIII. Those components are really more expensive than regular model. So VIII has higher price but lower output power.

BTW: An ultimate edition of VIII is coming soon after Chinese new year. It will contain some high-end class components and will also have much higher price (2-3 fold higher than SE I guess). I am just planning to get that one later this year.

Interesting, will be keeping watch to see this new one.

Nice, thanks for sharing this! A new statement flagship model is really interesting. 

Where did you see this information posted? I'd be interested to give it a read over.

In chinese forum of LD. This amp won a competition of headphone amp last month in Hongkong. I just asked Mr. Yang when it will be available. He said LD will start to accept order after new year holiday. Price is varied, depends on what components you choose. Here are some pic of this amp on that competition.

Damn that amp looks beautiful....   Like the volume knob. Impressive they won a competition for it. I would like to be a judge in one of those. :)

i had a little-dot mkVI(first version).

terrificant relation quality/price.

drive from 32 ohm to 600 ohm and the akg k-1000.

i used with grado hf-2(very nice) and the hd-800(espectacular with jazz).

at this price not better..

between the VI and the VIII, buy back the VI
