I have Computer --> ODAC --> UM3X, Sennheiser HD580, Sennheiser MX580.    I have been wanting to buy an amp for a long time but I am not sure that I need them? I was going to buy the O2 but I also saw the imbalance issue. I almost always listen to music at low volume and sometimes, I do...

Also interested in blox m2c. If anything is going to organize this, please pm me any info.  

I am a little confused on what you want. You want something that's portable(move around the room) but you also want something that's is for monitoring and mixing(sit in front of your equipment). That's kind of 2 different categories in my view.    I will give you my 2 cents anyway. I have...

I would suggest hd580/600 because I heard them myself. But i think dt880 is also a good choice(because I am saving up for them)   IMHO, you should always upgrade headphones first before you upgrade amp or dac. I think you will hear the difference between headphones before you will hear the...

Question:     Do the tube preamp output enough power to drive bookshelf speakers(75watt, 8ohm)?

Quote: lol either way. Pretty much can't do it on the web. I think. 

  Quote: Oops yeah i read your previous comment about 2365 incorrectly. Thanks for correcting me.    skimmed it..seems like the anticlipping switch doesn't apply to my situation at all.    I saw that the U7 is driving 3.5mm jack in the back but didn't see the front jack. Is the...

  Quote: You MUST call them(find senn's number on its site). I couldn't find any other way to do it.

Quote: Got it but not sure exactly what i did. many thanks     I thought of a new question regarding dac to speaker problem.   What if I go from the 3.5mm jack to speaker? Are all the output connected to U7 or are they separated? From the schematic page, I think the phone...

I think I am supposed to look at U7? 2365A... So it's the better one. Would the anticlipping setting do anything?     I am having a hard time outputing "bit-perfect" to the dac(through SPDIF) using winamp and ASIO plug-in. Feels like my computer is not detecting the dac at all.    I...

Ooo...you mean I can actually try it without damaging anything?   I am not sure what opamp I have. I didn't really read into schematics when I asked Marshall to build it for me. Which one is the standard one?

I have a question.   What if I plug my 75 watt, 8Ohm speakers into gamma 2? What will happen? no sound because not enough power from gamma 2?   The reason I am asking because I bought a pair of bookshelf speakers and I want to test them asap but have no way of testing them yet

Yes I ordered like 2 weeks ago and was surprised about the pricing as well. And just in case people don't know. it is part number 092815 for 11.82 but shipping is like 6 dollars for me.

I understand it is sensitive but for the past year, I have used my laptop as source with no hiss whatsoever .   Then I built a pc, started having hiss issue. I thought it might be my pc that's too noisy so I hoped that dac would resolved the issue by pumping out cleaner signals.    Is...
