    FiiO K7/K7BT Desktop DAC&Headphone AMP Discussion | XLR Balance | Dual THX AAA | Xmos | ...

    Does the K7 remember the last input selection on power up? I saw on an external review as well as a post in this thread that it defaults to USB, but someone else replied saying that their unit defaults to coax? Could this be due to whether a USB cable is connected?

    FiiO K7/K7BT Desktop DAC&Headphone AMP Discussion | XLR Balance | Dual THX AAA | Xmos | ...

    Hi, I currently run a HD600 off a E10K (dac only) to a Topping L30 (first version). I'm intending to get a HD800S, and the K7 is something I'm considering to go along with it. A dac upgrade from the E10K would be beneficial, but I'm not convinced to spend too much on one yet. Meanwhile, I'm...

    You should use your amp with it. Does your PC have separate ports for audio and microphone (check the rear of the PC too)? If so, then what you need is just one 3.5mm TRS (not TRRS) male to female extension cable. Connect either one of the PC38X plugs to the amp or your PC mic input, and use the...

    Quoting Audeze's site, "Hi-Res, which allows Mobius to process sampling frequencies of 24bit/96kHz. This mode disables all surround-sound, 3D audio and head-tracking, and turns Mobius into a High Resolution Audio Machine for two channel playback of Hi-Res files." This simply increases the...

    I think you misunderstand, noise isn't an issue. I rarely use AC, just regular fan (funny enough the fan is actually noisier than the AC unit), and my PC is inaudible unless I put my head next to it. The volume I'm getting now is enough, but there's no more headroom if required. And after a...

    Wow, thanks for your reply! Similarly, I used my Ember to double amp my HD 600, and while it does get loud enough without it now, I can tell they are not being driven properly. I know double amping is frowned upon but were there noticeable flaws that you noticed when you did so with the GSX 1000...

    Yea, that's what the rational side of my mind tells me too. Just curious how cans with better soundstage would sound like for gaming as I've never really tried them before, especially since the HD 600 has a pretty narrow soundstage. Or would the difference actually be small once I turn on VSS?

    Would it be silly to go from a HD 600 to a PC38X? For a few years now I've been using PC -> GSX 1000 -> Project Ember 2 -> HD 600, for all purposes but mainly gaming and music. Last night, my Ember died and so my HD 600 is currently connected directly to the GSX 1000. I'm considering the...

    Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions

    Not sure which part of this you find sketchy. This is called double amping, which many people do, be it with the GSX such as here, or with other amps which you can just do a google search on double amping. I personally have been doing so myself with my GSX 1000 & Project Ember 2. I don't see...

    Use an adapter like a 3.5mm to RCA cable. 3.5mm into the headphone out on GSX, and RCA into the second amp.

    Not on the line out. You could double amp it by connecting the headphones output to another amp.

    Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions

    Just want to share that it's the same for my GSX 1000. It's fine on 2.0, but the sound is slightly towards the left when I switch to 7.0. I can live with it though.

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    I hang my 600 on a headphone hanger, and while it has a rounded surface, it's still much wider than the small gap between middle 2 pads of the 600 cushion, and contributes to the flattening. Hence I was considering the 650 pad due to its larger gap in the middle, which might suit my hanger better.

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    Hey there, my HD 600's headband padding has flattened and I'm wondering if I should replace them for the first time. I use them pretty much daily, to the point where I don't even remember how the original padding felt like. Could those who have replaced the padding chime in whether it makes a...

    Me. Didn't realise there had been so many replies. I went to my list of watched threads, ticked the email checkbox of the threads I want, and selected enable email notification in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page, and finally hit go. Not sure if that has any effect (there's no...
