Hi guys just bought this wonderfull dac. I'm using a Mac mini as a source and audirvana plus as a player. I've noticed that in the midi audio set up, when i choose the Teac, i only see 24 or 32 bit options, no 16 bit rate option ... Is this normal? I also noticed that if i play an aiff file...

So guys i have done some experiments with the damping/gain setting, but i have to say the differences were not so big as i expected... i find the sound in the "low setting" position to be warmer and a little bit softer, on the higher positions it's a little bit louder and crispy to me, but again...

Yes that's really true... buying it and then discovering it was without battery would have been a huge disappointment!   Thanks again for your precious information  

Hi Richard,   thanks for your contribution. Like i said i've always used the gain setting in the "low" position, and the volume level set between 15 and 12 (only with some cd's like the shm platinum cd's that have a lower level of volume registration i had to push the volume at 7...) but...

Thank you again for your help ESL-1, after dinner i will experiment a little with the gain setting and see what happens :D I will post the results! ;)

Thank you very much for your answer ESL-1. Yes i asked this because i also have the T1, and following the Teac instruction manual i always use the gain/damping setting in the low position since this should be the one for the 600 ohm headphones (or maybe i misunderstood the manual... ? ) but...

Hi ESL-1, can i ask you at which level of damping are you setting the Teac when using the DT 880? Thank you. :o

The problem is that i asked about the PHA-3 because on sony.it is the one that is being sold, no mention about the AC version... but in the mail they sent me the PHA-3 AC manual... so i believe what you are saying but i find it very frustrating and partially misleading by Sony... if it was not...

If that is true I completely agree with you.... but i mailed Sony in Italy and they answered that the PHA-3 has a battery.... really confused right now, do not know what to think.... in the instruction manual they sent me by mail there are no info about charging time... this make me think that...

Thank you Patrik for your point of view. It makes perfect sense to me.   I'm planning to hear some more headphones myself before buying the t1 since it's a quite expansive headphone, but for now it's the one that i prefer among all the ones (very few)  that i've been able to listen.   Thanks...

Good morning Patrik, Thank you for your answer, i just wanted to be sure since this is my second headphone amplifier after the epiphany o2 that i used before and i'm not so expert in this regard. No i do not hear any noise turning off the amp so i assume it's pretty safe to leave the headphones...

Hi everybody, I've just bought this amplifier and i would like to ask you if i have to remove the headphones every time before turning off the amplifier? Thank you for your help. Regards from italy. Nico

Hi everybody,   this is my first post even if i've been following this forum for  while now, finding it very useful and enjoyable.   I would like to ask for your help about the choice of my next headphone amplifier.   Actually i've a very entry level set up that's composed of fidelio x1...
