I have my TH900's connected to a Burson Soloist and Schiit Gungnir DAC. I am only getting sound out of my right ear on any headphones I try. What's interesting is that sometimes I will get full sound and then it will abruptly stop and I hear a sort of static cracking sound in my left ear and...

http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality   After spending a fortune I can say that I humbly scored a 1/6 although I never picked the 128kbps   Anyone got it perfect?

FANTASTIC combo. The Soloist seems to pair fantastically with the Gungnir. A world of a difference compared to using the HDVA600. The sennheisers also sound way betteer although I still prefer the fostex.   The harsh treble is gone, base hits really energetically. COMPLETELY different sound...

Anyone know how the cabling is with the new HE 1000? Considering preordering from Moon Audio and get the Silver Dragon V3 cable, but want to know if the stock is solid or not.

Think a burson soloist would power these properly?

I ended up going with the Burson Soloist + Gungnir combo. Crossing my fingers but I've read in multiple places that it pairs beautifully with the th900 as well as any audeze headphones because of its low impendance output. People swear by the Soloist + TH900....It was between that and the...

  Thanks for that, you're the second person to tell me the Gungnir isn't a bright DAC. I think the issue just has to do with the combination and the Senns being picky. Will probably go with a WA6 SE and call it a day!

  Definitely a possibility, but I have the same issue with the HD800 connected to the HDVA600/Gungnir. My wife also commented on how at higher volumes there was harshness in the treble.   In the past I have owned a WA7 firefly that I connected my HD700 and Denon D2000 with and thought that it...

Looks to be the DAC. I posted in another thread where someone with the same setup confirmed the brightness being due to the DAC. In theory, would pairing a bright DAC with a warmer amp help even it out, or best to just sell the gungnir and go for something completely different like wa7.

  Correct

Can someone recommend a good Amplifier to go with the Gungnir? I was using the HDVA600 and the sound was WAY too bright for my taste. I'm selling the HDVA but want to keep the gungir if I can find a good match. Headphones will be the TH900. I also have the HD800 but they hurt my ears on this...

Thanks, How about one of the Violectric amps? On another thread someone mentioned that the reason I was hearing high treble issues was because the HDVA600 and Gungnir probably weren't a good combo together. I don't want to make a mistake twice and want an amp that will go well with schiit...

Thanks, do you think the Gungnir DAC by schiit would match better with another amp then? Looks like the two don't go together...at least for me

Can someone recommend a couple HIGH end amps that pair well with the Fostex. Budget is around 1500

Alright I've paired the Fostex TH900 with the HDVA600 set to low gain. The DAC used is Schiit Gungnir. I Immediately noticed that there was the same unnatural brightness on the treble in the TH900 that existed in the HD800. The fostex sound good, but I don't believe the AMP matches up well with...
