New Head-Fier
Hi all,
I'm quite new to headphones so please forgive me any potential stupidity...
I bought a AEON RT closed and a Topping A50s.
As I read that it's recommended using the balanced output I purchased this adapter to connect headphones to the balanced output of the amp:
https://www.amazon.com/Geekria-Balanced-Gold-Plated-NW-ZX300A-TA-ZH1ES/dp/B075165H2M
First of all it worked and I heard sound but when I turned the volume knob up I heard a distortion sound and the amp switched off.
I could switch it on again (this time without the adapter), and it worked normal on both low and high gain.
Question is: Do I get something completely wrong here and I can't use that kind of adapter and I have to buy a completely different cable or is the adapter faulty?
If I can't use the balanced output, the single ended one is simply not powerful enough for the RT, which other amp would you guys recommend?
Thx for your help!
