Thanks for the response PurpleAngel, where did you find out about the 10-Ohm spec for the STX II ?, I've been trying to find detailed specs but couldn't. In general terms the output impedance from whatever device your using should be as low as possible compared to the headphones of choice ? For...

Ah ok yes I read elsewhere that that these types of headphone amps require high impedance headphones to work properly, low impedance headphones (Fostex's are 25 Ohms) while they work aren't best suited, better to use the 6.3mm out from the sound card directly ?

Thanks guys for the responses, I'm starting to get the idea that volume on Windows should be left at 100% going through RCA to the LD MKII, then the LD MKII controls the final volume, I am finding though that there's a loss of volume when doing that, if I plug the Fostex's directly into the...

Many thanks for the reply PurpleAngel, I tested that setup, and although the RCA output from the STX II is not amplified I am still able to control the volume from the Windows Asus Audio Center and it can get fairly loud, is this normal as I can then further amplify through the LD MKII ?

Hi Everyone, I got an Asus Essense STX II card and can't find any information regarding the RCA out, I want to connect it to a Little Dot MK II using Phono - Phono cables but I'm aware you shouldn't connect an already amplified source to another device than can amplify again. I've searched...

Hey,   So as it's my first thread I have to post here, please forgive me I know it's not in the rite category, I'm hoping I can get this moved to the Music section at some point.   I've Been searching for this song for ages, check the link below, it start's at 3:30, seems to be a very...

Be interesting to see what the results are after more experimentation, is there any settings you haven't played about with yet ?

Hiya, Yeah I did read a number of bad reviews for the Audeze but also a few good ones and I was looking for a nice pair of over ear comfortable cans, I am a bass head so I guess I prefer that sound signature although I know bass can interfere with and drown out other frequencies so I can live...

Thanks for the reply cel4145, Yeah I understand that, thought if anyone might have other recommendations or some pro/cons they have encountered for either of the ones I bought that wold be helpful, I won't be be able to try out the headphones for another week so I have some time to check out...

Hi There's, Just joined as I've read a number of threads on this forum and they seem quite helpful. A bit of background, I do a lot of work with music so spend quite a it of time wearing headphones, I had been using a pair of Beats Studios(please don't bash) for a very long time and the were...
