C&C BH Portable Headphone Amp (80 Hours from a Single Charge!) [Buyer Review] - Page 140

post #2086 of 2094

Any chance this thread can get back to just the amp impressions please? Interconnect cable fighting... go to the sound science forum.

 

USB interference, yes I witnessed that whilst doing both. With the long battery life there is no need to have it plugged in whilst using, it isn`t a DAC.

 

Regarding config in earlier posts, my preference is in my sig but a little insight:

Out 1 - for both my iems and my Momentums.

Gain - although everything is easy to drive and "in principle" there is no need for high gain, use it, sounds far better with the downside of little volume adjustment. It gives the whole sound energy. Try it for yourself, low gain, wind it up to volume of choice.....

High gain, not a lot of winding but it is clear the energy in sound is chalk and cheese. Although iems are sensitive I do believe they still need to be driven, low gain on "this" amp doesn`t cut it "for me"

 

Soo, for me to summarise:

High gain

Output 1

LF ON - iems

LF/SF - Sennheiser Momentum (Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again). This is the closest I have got to my "High Fidelity" goal so far, freaking amazing.

I'll start by saying that Output 2 with just the LF switch on is perfect for most of my IEMs/HPs.

Sure, I use: Output1 / low gain / LF switch on.

Don't care much for the SF switch personally.

Has anybody paired these with the Sennheiser HD650 before? If so, are the C&C BH adequate for driving the hd650 or would the hd650's sound congested b/c it doesn't get enough power? Thank you!

In the first post below the review there's a list of members impressions. Go through those impressions to grasp an idea on what full-size headphones people are using.

I'm sorry but I'm new to this whole amp thing but how is it possible you can drive the 600 ohms beyers when the c&c bh amp has a headphone adapter impedance of 8-300 ohms? I was thinking of maybe pairing the c&c bh with the sennheiser hd 650's, any thoughts? confused_face_2.gif

Well, 8-300 is probably the recommended ohms. 32ohm ipod can drive 50ohm cans sometimes. However, you might want something more powerful to power your beyers. E12 is very powerful, and can drive 600ohms, but I don't know how BH would handle it.
