This is really bugging me: when running my ZX700's out of my Little Dot I+ the signal is very noisy. From what I gather an impedance adapter would fix this, is my understand correct? If so, where could I get one?

Pardon the bump, but any info would be much appreciated.

Can't help you with the Little Dot, but the ZX700 doesn't play well with the FIIO E17 either. Vocals are more recessed with this combo than running it straight from a portable device.

Try changing the tubes on the Little Dot I+. They might be reaching the end of their lifespan.

I would think if that were the case I'd get noise with other headphones, but I'm not.

I would personally avoid the first two since they are just giant TRS jacks and the extra weight can damage your amp over time.

Thanks for the links! I half-expected something like this to cost a lot of money!

 
EDIT: Shame none of them ship from within the US. 15 days seems a little long to wait for an adapter. Maybe I'll keep looking around. At least I know what to search for now!
