2015 vsonic iem lineup VSD2, VSD7, VSD9
It does make sense to go through Germany, it's a flight straight from Singapore to Germany. There would be a lot of orders of the same item to Europe and North America so it would cost them less to send them through that route. Also, DHL's main sorting facility for international orders is...- IwasDerp

HE-500, LCD2, D5000, DT770, SR80, on a speaker amp (Emotiva mini-X A-100) Project
Quote: Thank you for the suggestion guys, I went ahead and bought the monoprice one as it was the cheapest. :) Should be here next week and hopefully this should do the trick. Then I can finally start listening to the HE-500s at full potential, missing out so much right now. :(- IwasDerp

Thanks for the suggestion, going to try that in a second. Didn't think of that and the whine is there regardless if I use the E17 as a DAC or use the AUX end straight into the computer. But there is no whine when I tried to use my phone or DAP as the source. Edit: Just tried it with my...- IwasDerp

Hey guys, I got a computer about a month ago and when I first plugged in my computer and the Topping TP60 into the same power bar, I heard a loud whine from my HE-500s and I was really confused about the problem so for about a week I didn't use the amp. For the time being I used my E17 as the...- IwasDerp

Ah ok, thanks for this. I decided not to do buy the adapter for now. I'll live with a bit of noise floor since I don't notice it at all when I am listening to music at my normal listening volume. I just don't have that kind of money right now.- IwasDerp

So I was looking at BTG's custom adapter maker and he has a 499 Ohm resistor. I guess that would work but I am not sure how much wattage it's resisting. How much would the output decrease from around the 12-13W at 38 Ohms (I think that's how much it's outputting) which I am currently getting...- IwasDerp

I am using the HE-500. When I listen to music, they sound fine but when I am not, I can hear a very quiet but audible hiss. Kind of sounds like pink noise if you were to play at like 1-2% volume.- IwasDerp

Ah, thanks rob. So I guess the no soldering method I am using is correct then? However, I am not sure where the slight hissing coming from. Not sure if it's a wire or the unit itself.- IwasDerp

I think getting other people to do it might be best for me too as I have no idea how to do this or have a soldering kit so I would have to buy that first. How would I explain to Brian what I want? Also, would regular speaker taps work? I assume I would have to get a balanced cable for the...- IwasDerp

Oh god, it seems to run fine for some reason (other than the a bit of noise). I should have done more research before buying this amp. Is there any way I can use this amp with the stock 1/4 inch connector with a wire from Brian at BTG? I don't know how to re-cable but I can learn.- IwasDerp
