Lynx Hilo - new offering from Pro Audio company.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm wondering if some of you could tell me how you have your device set up for a balanced headphone situation to an amp. What settings etc. My device got all messed up and I had to reset it. I'm not sure what's going on as far as what screens to use and what...- Xanthos

Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

Lynx Hilo - new offering from Pro Audio company.
I just purchased a balanced amp to pair with the Hilo. Pardon my lack of knowledge, could someone let me know what kind of cables I need to purchase and inputs I need to switch to make this happen? Feel free to PM me so I don't bloat the thread.- Xanthos

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but what do you guys think is a significant upgrade to the built-in headphone amplifier? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD800s.- Xanthos

I wish there was a thread in the Dedicated Source forum. This piece of gear definitely doesn't get the attention it deserves and I would've totally missed out on it if it hadn't been for another member suggestion.- Xanthos
