Would this be the best balanced combo in the as-shipped price range of $750? I'd like to power a set of HD800's.   In other words, is this the best-sounding setup I can buy for under $2000, balanced or single ended?

thinking about trying a tube amp and my question is ,is it worth trying the very budget route i.e bravo/indeed ect ,seems the indeed g3 is the best of the bunch with the new mosfet added or little dot 1+ for a little more? the main cans used are the hfi780s so not exactly hard to drive just...

Howdy everyone, so I haven't used the Little Dot I+ for around six months, maybe more. Got back from college last night and fired it up, and almost immediately there was this faint but persistent scratching noise coming from the right channel. I put up with it for a bit, but then powered down...

My current system comprises of a Squeezebox Duet > Dacmagic > Project Head-Box II > Grado S325i. I would like to replace the Project Head-Box II with a valve amplifier and I am considering the following two items: Millett MiniMax (kit) and the Little Dot I+ Can anyone give me advice...

Ok well like the title says I'm considering buying either the Little Dot I+ or the II. I know that the I+ is especially good for lower imp cans like Grado for example while supposedly the II can handle anywhere from low to high according to the little dot site. It seems to be like the II can...

So I've been delaying this, but I think it might be time to succumb to the world of tubes I've become resigned to the fact that one amp/headphone isn't going to be perfect for all situations and I recently returned my Beyerdynamic T1 and got a pair of Denon D7000 and Grado RS1i instead. So I...

I plan to get the HD 600 this summer given i get a job for over the summer. I completely realize the 300 ohm impedance means an amp is more or less a must. After getting the HD 600 i am most likely not gonna havea TON of green left over so please recommend me an amp that is USD 200 or less. I...

I'm looking at a little dot I+ tube hybrid amp, and I know that the opamp is what is actually driving the cans, but the information about the stock opamp in the LD I+ says its better for lower impedance cans.  With the OPA2228 upgrade will it drive higher impedance cans like my Beyerdynamic 770...

Hello head-ampers,   Well, as the title states, what are / have been your favorites?   First things first- For those not in the know- "FOTM" (Flavor Of The Month).   A term used very much here on head-fi.  What does it mean?   Well, in a nutshell-  An amp (or of course any...

Ok PLEASE help me.  I am going to buy a new amp for my Denon ah-d 5000's.  I have done a lot of research and made a few posts to figure out my amp issue.  I will be using an 32gb ipod touch in lossless format for my source.  I do have a budget (and a wife to enforce it :) so i need some help...

Hello - I have a Little Dot I+ with some Denon D7000. I'm thinking about getting the Schitt Asgard amp, to see what SS is all about. What kind of sound differences can I expect?

Hello all,   Let me start by saying I am fairly new to the amp world so please be easy on me.  I have looked at a lot of posts here and noticed the Little Dot I+ has been pretty well liked.  I am getting new cans and want an amp that can push them enough.  I am looking at Beyerdynamic...

I am getting a LD 1+ hybrid and there are two upgrade options Upgrade to EF92: 20 USD Upgrade to WE408A: 50 USD what should i get ??? Thanks,!>>

I wonder which type of amp is more suitable for the D7000 can someone help??? Thanks

Guys,   I am looking for an upgrade to my laptop set up. I am currently only using an uDac as a dac/amp combo to drive my MS1i. Here are two options I have considered:   The first option: Audio-gd FUN or Sparrow (basic versions). They are clearly a step up from my uDac. What I am not...

Hey y'all, this is my first post. I found an ebay listing for what looks like an earmax clone here: PHENIX G3 Tube Headphone Amplifier - eBay (item 290367642898 end time Dec-06-09 22:51:06 PST) After searching the forum and google I can't really find much info on the Phenix G3 other than a...

I was listening to music and my Little Dot I+ just flat out 'shut off' (first time its ever happened). Wouldn't turn on. I just unplugged it from the power strip, and plugged it back in. I also notice that sometimes it just 'doesnt turn on' and then i'll unplug it from the power strip/wall  and...

Hello Head-Fiers. Currently, my setup is uDAC>HD 555, but I'm looking for an upgrade. My main music tastes are ska, acoustic, pop-punk, and classical. A few weeks ago, I started looking in to what could be my next setup. I wanted a balanced phone with a large soundstage, and that also lets the...

Hi all,   My current setup is using the Maverick D1 as a DAC and pre-amp out to my Little Dot I+.  With the D1, I want to use the switch to bypass the potentiometer, but when I do that, the LD potentiometer needs to be set very low.  The problem is that when the LD volume is set so low, the...

I currently have a Little Dot I+ with the WE408A tubes coming and wanted to get some closed headphone besides my K701s. Had my eyes on the Beyerdynamic DT770/80 and DT770/250 Ohms for a while, though I'm not really sure how well they pair with the Little Dot I+ and if it provides enough juice...

At work I use the Mk III with Mullard 6CQ6 with my SR125s and I love it. Never fatiguing everything sounds great. Now I would like to get back to listening to my headphones at home again as well. I'm looking for impressions from Grado users who have tried the MK II or above and those who have...

I'm deciding between a couple options to upgrade my entry level computer setup:   I have grado sr80s currently powered by window's "high definition audio driver" or whatever it's called - basically the onboard soundcard from my ~7 year old asus motherboard.  I also have ****ty 2.1 logitech...

What is the next noticable/satisfactory upgrade from the uDAC?   Must be compatible with a Macbook.   My amp is Little Dot I+ my headphones are the Grado RS-1. At some point I may add Sennheiser 600 or 650s.     Edit: I've been looking at the Dac-EXTASY (only $110 now... hmm)...

I recently bought an Alessandro MS2i with a Little Dot I+ (with Mullard M8161 / OPA2107) and I'm wondering if a classical Headphone Amps (instead of a tube amp) could be better ? The little dot is my first headphone amp, so I cannot compare with any other headphone amps, but I don't know...
