    Magni 3 Impressions

    Hey gang, I'm interested in Magni, just curious what else, if anything, I should consider in the $100 price range. I listen strictly on my PC at work where I have powered studio monitors hooked up to an Asus Xonar DX. I like the fact that this amp has RCA outs on the back so I can have my...

    Bravo Ocean died? Now my PC setup volume is very low

    yeah, I got some longer RCA extension cables ordered today from Amazon. so hopefully by end of week I'll be listening in stereo again. :D thanks for the offer on the cable. Now I just need to figure out how best to ship something back to China and figure out if that's going to be cost...

    Bravo Ocean died? Now my PC setup volume is very low

    Amp was purchased on Amazon via a 3rd party seller, Shenzhenaudio, which was pretty highly rated. I actually emailed them last nite and they offered to repair it if I shipped it back to China. Anyone have any experience with that? I also asked if Bravo Audio was still in business and they...

    Bravo Ocean died? Now my PC setup volume is very low

    Unfortunately no. Would the unit simply shut off with no visible signs of life with a bad tube?

    Bravo Ocean died? Now my PC setup volume is very low

    Keep in mind I'm running on 1 speaker now...and maybe that has something to do with it. While the RCA cables from my sound card were fine for the headphone amp, the L and R can't be split far enough apart to get to each of my speakers so I can only hook up 1 at a time. But I crank the PC...

    Bravo Ocean died? Now my PC setup volume is very low

    Hi group, For 99% of my listening, I'm at my desk on my PC. my signal chain was PC/Asus Xonar DX --> Bravo Audio Ocean amp --> JBL Powered monitors Today when listening, everything went silent. When trying to look around for the cause, I saw the red light on the Bravo Audio Ocean was no...

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    Does anyone know a reputable online store that still sells the 598's in Ivory? I had these in my Amazon cart for a while but am getting a bit worried now and can't find them anywhere.

    Can Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 be used as a sound card?

    hey guys, I've been trying to get my PC upgraded for a while now and just a couple weeks ago got an Asus Xonar DX and a Bravo Ocean headphone amp which then goes out to my JBL powered LSR305's.  I think the combo is nice and the Xonar was a def step up to the onboard sound.   So over the past...

    RCA connector came out of my new Bravo Ocean

    Well, it's the end of the week and I haven't heard anything.  Ugh...I also sent them the pic to hopefully get their attention, but nothing.  Yeah, you're right, I'm curious to see how this is going to work out.  I'm not sure, if it costs $30 to ship it overseas, its going to be worth it.   I...

    RCA connector came out of my new Bravo Ocean

    I just hooked this up today and it was the first time I attempted to pull out a cable.  I put oit back together and don't plan on pulling the cable often, but should I be concerned?   I also sent them an email.  Will see what they say.

    DT770 hurt my ears - want something else

    Hello all,   I'm far from an audiophile - really just looking for some nice headphones to use mostly at my desk with light gaming and streaming music.  Although most of the time I use my studio monitors, there are times I would like some nice headphones.   After a bunch of research I picked...

    Gaming + Music equipment?

    I jst got the Bravo Ocean in the mail today. Cool little amp. Is there a preference whether to to 1/8" to dual rca to the amp or just 1/8" to 1/8"? Coin flip?

    Gaming + Music equipment?

    Thanks for the thoughts. So line out from the Xonar into the amp and then another line out from the amp to the powered monitors? And I'll get all of the benefit of the sound card processing with this setup? I'm still intrigued by the schiit stuff, but this will definitely give me something to...

    Gaming + Music equipment?

    Hi all,   I'm a very casual gamer and music listener.  Right now my setup on the PC is using onboard sound from my Dell XPS desktop to JBL LSR305 powered monitors and Beyer 770 pros (although I'm not that happy with them, but that's a different thread).  What I'd like to do is improve the...

    The Schiitstorm: Next-Gen Magni 2 and Modi 2 Family!

    thinking about a Magni/Modi 2 Uber stack to use with my Beyer DT770-80 and JBL monitors.   Now that the Magni 2 Uber has RCA out, can I just hook up my powered monitors to this and listen as normal?  And then when I want to listen to the headphones, I plug those into and it'll mute the speakers...
