I contacted Drop and they were good enough to send me out a new replacement unit. With the new unit, same thing, listenable volume levels are between 3 - 5:30 o’clock. I guess my first unit was not defective, maybe it has more to do my headphone impedance than the amplifier. I also wanted to...

Hmm, that’s very interesting. I’ll leave it on overnight and try again tomorrow.

Yeah, you are right. I meant the listenable range 4 to 5 o’clock. and the volume knob maxes out at 5:30pm. I have both SE and XLR cables, there was a small increase in volume switching over to XLR. I also tried using a balanced headphone cable and XLR from DAC to amp. Thanks for confirming...

Long time lurker here, I just received my Singxer SA-1 amp today. I wanted to ask if anyone else was having this problem with their amp. I’m using the HD800 and the listenable range is when the volume knob is between 4 to 5 o’clock. At max volume (which is about 5:30 o’clock) it is loud enough...

I’ve owned the 789 for a short time period, to me, it has kind of a crunchy shadow in the upper mid range. I heard other posters describe it as etched treble. I’m a little baffled that there is a lot of people who like this amplifier.

Impressive setups!   You guys are taking it to a whole new level!

A couple of pictures I wanted to share.   I just got these today and so far I am really happy with the purchase.   Considering I only listened to them for about 10 minutes before I decided to buy them.   After unboxing and using them for a few hours. I have no regrets and it's like feeding...

The HDVA 600 amplifer used to be listed on the Sennheiser website as a recommended product for the HD800, but now only the HDVD 800 is recommended.   I also see that retailers are listing the HDVA 600 discounted from the original MSRP of $1600.   Does anyone know if the amplifier has been...

That could be good depending on who it is.

  5. I'm still going to talk to my friend, but I won't accept invites to his house. I doubt I will be invited anyways. My friend and I have been going to the LA Auto Show every year. I'm sure that won't change. His wife doesn't come and it's a guy's day.   Unfortunately, I won't being seeing...

Yeah, I think that had something to do with it. And I know better now.   Just goes to show how fragile relationships are, his wife is still mad at me and my friend can't talk to me much because she won't be happy about it.   In my opinion, she was not happy about the situation and was not...

My friend was standing 10 feet away and he heard the whole thing.   Afterwards, he told me his wife is moody, and he told me to just wait and she will forget the whole thing later.   I'm thinking the next time we hang out it will be at the auto show, because I know his wife won't be coming.

  Good point, I'm not too sure if she was happy about the idea of me coming along, but my friend asked me to come partly because he knows that I know where all the good camping and fishing spot are.   He also knows that I have been camping in this area more than he has.   When I took over...

I think because she told me she had a headache, I should have been more careful what I say to her.   But even if I had a headache, it's really overboard to call someone the "f" word.

I know there are bigger problems in this world, but I just thought I would tell this story to see if anyone else has the same problem.   So, my friend ask me if I want to go camping with him, his wife, and two kids.   First day we go camping and I went fishing and it was fun, I caught 2...
