Topping DX7 - DAC and balanced headphone amplifier
Does the DX7s have a mode where the XLR line out is on fixed volume and the volume knob controls the headphone out only? I'd be running it into a monitor controller and would prefer fixed line out. Neither the manual nor any of the previous 18 pages were 100% clear about this.- Xandr

DIY Cable Gallery!!
The wire is AWG26 and OD is about 0.8mm. The whole braid fits just about into 550 Paracord.- Xandr

DIY Cable Gallery!!
I gave my new Hakko FX-888D a spin and made a 4-pin XLR to 1/4" TRS adapter. You think the braiding is presentable? First time ever doing an 8 wire braid...- Xandr

Desktop amp (+DAC?) recommendation for use between a Scarlett 6i6 and K7XX/DT770 Pro 250
I "downgraded" from a Avid Pro Tools | Duet to a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 to get more Ins/Outs. While I haven't really noticed any downgrade in quality (some people will disagree, but I think for my use the Scarlett and its mic preamps and converters are more than adequate) the headphone amps in...- Xandr

UE TF10 user needs closed can suggestion for office use
I'm looking for a pair of closed circumaural cans that are comfortable even when wearing them for the better part of a 10 hour shift and have a sound signature that's not too different from my UE TF10. I will be using them during work - chat-based customer support - where the TF10 are not...- Xandr

In the UK and want my UE Triple fi10s re-molded... any suggestions?
I second that request for an alternative in the UK since my tf10 sound great but don't really fit my ears. Fisher Hearing seems to be a good (non-UK) choice but I read somewhere that they charge $70 for international shipping which would almost double the cost and kind of puts me off.- Xandr

Messenger Bag.... Fi!
Quote: That's probably because they have different product lines for Europe and USA/Canada/Australia/Asia. Try a online store in Europe that ships to the states?- Xandr

Ear Plugs
I now have my second pair of Musician's Earplugs from ER and I think they are the best thing that I ever bought for my ears. I don't leave the house without them in my pocket and wear them whenever it's loud(er). Might get you some strange looks from others but I think not having that annoying...- Xandr

Hearing loss
Hearing loss doesn't have to be permanent. It depends on the cause of the hearing loss. I for example had an infection (a so-called erysipelas) in my leg some weeks ago and the whole “shock” to the body with the fever and all that caused a temporary hearing loss for me that has almost gone...- Xandr
