DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
But I want to use the headphone balanced, else I can just use the normal 1/4inch cable. That is why I either have to get a 4pin xlr cable (expensive) or a pentaconn to 4pin adapter (since i already have a 4.4mm pentaconn cable) :/- Oxnitron

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
Hello everyone :) I want to use my hd660s with a 4pin XLR balanced amplifier. The problem is that the cables are ridiculously expensive for my taste so I'm thinking about making an adapter. The hd660s come with a 4.4mm Pentaconn cable and I want to make an adapter for it. The parts I wanted to...- Oxnitron

Linear Closed Headphones
Hello :) I recently got the Sennheiser hd 660s and I am very happy with them. The only problem is that I can't use them all the time because they leak too much sound and bother the people next to my bedroom. So now I'm looking for a second pair that is closed or at least leaks less sound. It...- Oxnitron

300€ starter DAC+AMP or combo unit for HD660s
I looked into the Topping stack now and i actually really like it. The only thing I'm concerned about is the output impedance which is 30 ohms on the 3.5mm and 10 ohms on the 6.4mm jack. Since I will also use lower impedance headphones like my m50 and other headphones that I might buy in the...- Oxnitron

300€ starter DAC+AMP or combo unit for HD660s
I would prefer matching products for a stack so i would have to get the a30 as well. Would you reccomend that stack over the schiit stack or o2+odac ? What about the standard modi 2 (non multibit) vs odac ? And why do you think they arent ideal for 150ohms and even a sonic mismatch ? Their...- Oxnitron

300€ starter DAC+AMP or combo unit for HD660s
Interesting, it seems that I could get it from there for an acceptable price :) Since most here seem to reccomend the O2+Odac, i have to ask: How do they compare to the schiit stack and aune x1s?- Oxnitron

300€ starter DAC+AMP or combo unit for HD660s
Unfortunately they arent easy to get in europe, if i import them it will cost me shipping and import fees and the only official distributor close is in germany and they ask 350€ without transport. I also fear that it will be difficult to return them if the units have any issues. However I can...- Oxnitron

Budget 600€ upgrade from ATH-M50
Okay thank you for your help so far :) Yes the sound quality is not the same when connected to the phone, i hear a noticable difference, I was just surprised that it would get to such high volume at all. My next step will be to get a starter DAC+AMP or combo unit but i will open a new thread...- Oxnitron
