I've been looking at Schiit Valhalla 2 specs and this is what puzzles me: how is it even possible to hear the "tube sound" with current crop of super-low noise/distortion/output impedance OTL headphone amps? Which is a great engineering feat by itself, but if the alleged "tube sound" is produced...

Hello,   So here is my story. When I bought it brand new somewhere back in 2003-2004, my volume pot has always been on 34 dB. I had to decrease that to 40 dB over time (maybe my ears adapted?). I've used it with Musical Fidelity X-24K DAC for many years like this with my Sennheiser HD-600...

Hey guys, any idea where I could find that small plastic insert from the HD-600's headband with "Made in Ireland" sign on it? I lost it, in fact lost another one without a sign on it, but you have an idea. ' Thanks for your help.

I currently have a bunch of stuff from MF, including X-Cans V3 and X-24K DAC with X-PSU (and Sennheiser HD-600 for output). I previously used M-Audio Audiophile 2496 as a digital source on my desktop and was pretty happy with it, but now I only have my new laptop and I'm looking for a decent...

Hi, I've just connected the X-24K to my system. And I've noticed a constant loud hissing sound in both channels when my X-Cans V3 volume knob is turned to MAX, even with CDP stopped!! It's also noticeable on lower volume levels with music on. I like the sound, but that stupid hissing (like...

Hi, I've just got an X-24K DAC and X-PSU powersupply. Couldn't find X-Cans V2 though, my fellow has only V3s available. So I guess I won't be able to plug V3 into my X-PSU ? What will be better, X-Cans V2 + X-PSU or X-Cans V3 with stock power supply ? Well, I'm quite uncertain. And...
