  Then it would appear as though my headphones are not functioning correctly, at least in terms of magnitude of volume? I am also using the 6 x C Battery adapter to power the amplifier off of batteries at this point in time, I didn't manage to snag the correct wallwart when I bought it and...

Heavy leather man bag style carry case with extra room for a portable amp/DAC for a completely portable high resolution playback system.     ... lol? man bag style

Quote: It only has stereo XLR outs to my monitors and the 3.5 headphone out... I'm assuming I can balance out the levels to make it sound decent?

About to trade my only bass guitar (Schecter Custom 4) for a pair of ESP 950's w/ the energizer... I'd estimate it at ~$400 right now. I'm assuming that is a fair trading price/value for one?   Anything to look out for when I'm buying them? Or...? Will warranty definitively help me out with...
