The NAD's output impedance through it's headphone socket would very much preclude it from being considered as a headphone amp. The same applies to any speaker amp which used current limiting resistors to connect the headphone socket to the output stage of the amp. I have a soft spot for the...

Where did you order it from?

I'll be posting my UK review sample to the next reviewer Saturday 23, i.e., tomorrow; in case anyone was wondering-:)

When you're at a small venue the drums and bass always dominate; these instruments put out a lot of energy. This recording accurately captures a small live session. When I go to a small musical venue I always stand beside the stage in order to bypass the PA and hear the live sound of the...

The the cymbals are overpowering. However, this is what live music sound like when you are in close proximity, to the musicians in a relatively small environment, i.e., in a session room, or sat next to a small stage. In fact, depending on the geometry of the session room, for example, both...

Yes, I was listening through Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros to the video and was taken by surprise by the out-of-head, albeit to the rear of me, experience. About half way through the video Mark hits the mike stand with his leg and it sounds like a small explosion - I nearly jumped out of my seat...

If these numbers are anything like correct, then the SNR of 77.6 dbA gives an effective number of bits of 13. So much for the two channel 24 bit "high definition" figure.

1. Yes thanks, I read most of the thread. I'm not sure what your problem with the 1200 is, but since you asked I chose the 1200 beause it was on offer on Amazon for a lot less than the 1000. 2. Re: 24 and 16 bit, yes you're right 16 and 24 bit audio is treated seperately, but it's very easy to...

Increasing bit depth increases the signal to noise ratio (and notionally dynamic range); the sound of dialogue or music should not shift levels between 16 or 24 bit. I've just got the GSX 1200 so will be periodically reporting on it's abilities here.

As a DT770 owner I'm surprised at the number of 770 owners saying their treble is aggressive/tiring. I find the 1990s to have a more agressive treble to my 770s (which are 5 years old now and may be more mellow due to gunked up pads). The 1990s are also very source dependent and a top quality...
