Yes. It's a kickass unit. Just make sure you buy a properly working one (if buying used)

Same here, mate. I screwing love the graphical equalizer on HA-1, i think i actially like watching it more than listening to the music LOL

I see no reason to use a receiver. (it's a PC setup) I use HA1 as a DAC. The Sub/Speaker manual said to connect stuff to Sub first, so that you can control the bass righ from the Sub (you can bypass the Speakers bass and out the bass on the Sub, or balance the bass frequency Hz between Sub and...

it's a plain, boring aluminum box HA-1 on the other hand looks superb with it's customizable displays and greatly adds to your setup look

Why do good DACs look like crap design wise? http://www.schiit.com/products/yggdrasil HA-1 looks soo much better in action with digital displays at all.

My HA-1 gets pretty hot. Like 40'-50' degrees, hot to the touch. Is this normal?

No ideas?

Guys, who am i getting "white noise" coming out of my Adam A5X speakers? Even if the sound system is turned off? They are hooked to OPPO-HA1 DAC which in turn is hooked up to EVE-Audio TS-108 Sub via XLR cables. Even when i turn off the sub and the DAC, i still have white noise coming out of...

I am using my HA1 as a DAC for A5X monitors and Sub. When I use the "home theater bypass mode" like you suggested, i get distorsin sound from the speakers even when i turn the volume down on the all the way down. The distorshing is the "white noise" sound like "sssshhhhhhhhh... " Also, that way...

what do ?

Hey guys, i got quite a situation here. I have ordered from Amazon the substitute XLR cable for my 650 HD. The substitute cable model is CH 650 S, which should fit my Headphones.   But instead I received a CH 800 S cable in a CH 650 S box.   Needless to say, the CH800S cable is not...

I've bought a paid monthly subscription to an online radio that I can't get in my country. I want to rip it for a few days to make a playlist for listening in my car.   The problem is when I rip it with one of the programs,the files get arranged by the track/artist name, thus screwing up the...

Hey, thanks for taking the time to write up your extensive take on this.   I did order today the balanced cable upgrade for my headphones. Gonna see soon if it makes any difference. Hopefully it's what you guys say (juice/xlr thing) and not some lame-ass windows/software config glitch on my part.

I'm just trying to figure out who fault is that. OPPOs?   I used to have some cheap Samson amp (link) that would drive the same headphones without any problems.   And about the cables. I got linked some in this thread for $76, which is not that inexpensive.

BTW, i'd like to get back to this discussion because it won't let me put my mind to rest:   1. If Senn HD650 has a nominal impedance of 300Ohms, why didn't they make them with XLR connector in the first place, seeing that they wouldn't be getting enough juice with a regular 6.35mm jack?   2...
