Hi, Sorry, haven't had time to read through the thread. Just stumbled across it via search. I'm looking for a USB bluetooth adapter to use with my Win 11 laptop, to connect to a Dali Katch G2 bluetooth speaker via aptX HD without truncating the word size to 16 bit like my Creative BT-W3...

Hi,   I want to re-terminate Beyer T1 (v1) to 4-pin XLR (I have a balanced amp). Can anyone recommend someone in the UK who could do this work?   I have contacted Audio Sanctuary (formerly called Custom Cable) as they are local to me - am awaiting a response, But would welcome other...

Hi,   Thank you both. I will see if I can find someone here in the UK to do the work.   As mentioned, the Sennheiser HDVA600 amp has balanced topology internally so am keen to use the XLR outputs on it if possible - I'm already using the HD800 terminated with Cardas XLR cable at present.  ...

Hi,   I recently purchased a pair of pre-owned T1's in the S/N 13xxx range.   Have tried from my HDVA600 and headphone out on my Benchark DAC2HGC. They certainly seem to be smoother on the HDVA600, no doubt due to the higher output impedance on that.   I'm sufficiently happy with the...

It does seem a bit strange that a £600 CD player would outperform the Benchmark DAC2, which is a well respected performer at its price point.    I think you'll find the differences between DACs are subject to the law of diminishing returns quite quickly. So if you'd said you heard no...

Anyone heard the T1 1st or 2nd generation with the Sennheiser amps (HDVD800 or HDVA600)?? 

Hi folks,   Has anyone got any experience of running the Beyer T1 through this amp or the HDVA600? It seems the higher output impedance on the amp helps with the T1 voicing. Am particularly interested in any v1 versus v2 comparisons given the v1 is available at a discount now and not everyone...

  Will report back with my impressions on old vs new HD800 when I'm recovered. Am currently restricted to Etymotic ER4's for listening duties!

Frequency response for S/N 40994:     I've also owned HD800 S/N 654 since 2009 and the bass definitely looks flatter on that:     I haven't been able to listen to the new HD800 yet (no headphone listening allowed due to operation on neck!) but will be intrigued to do the comparison...

Thanks Andy for the clarification.

I'll be able to attend the meet now due to my weekend working being rescheduled     Can bring:   Benchmark DAC1 hooked up to PC via M2Tech Hiface2 HD800 with Cardas S/E cable Lehmann BCL and Van Den Hul First Ultimate I/C's Ety ER4P/S Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi 10   Will there be plenty...

Thanks for the heads up Smial1966   .   At the moment I'm not sure I can attend 'cos there is a strong possibility I have to work that weekend (I work in IT) but am nevertheless keeping my fingers crossed. I haven't been to a meet since Manchester 2009 so it's been a while!   If I can...

Hi all May possibly be able to make this date. If so would come by train and stay at local Travelodge on Fri night. Can anyone tell me how easy it is to get to Travelodge i.e. is there a nearby bus service and how far the meet venue is from Travelodge? Gear I could bring.. Benchmark DAC1...

Sorry if these questions have already been asked but how does Hugo perform driving a power amp direct? And could it drive the HD800 to a decent standard (I'm thinking in comparison to my Lehmann BCL or Benchmark DAC1 headphone output). And what about the Ety ER4P or S? Thanks..

My HiFace2 works fine with USB3 ports on my Asus i5 ULV laptop. No pops, crackles etc. with 24/192khz material and doing web browsing etc. at same time. I use it with a Benchmark DAC1 classic and HD800. I'm using a 2 metre Belkin USB extension cable 'cos I use it in bed or at a work desk and...
