Question about Amp Strength & Equalization.
...because without the EQ, without the SB6 and plugged into my AVR's lineout, the A5 can make my HD600 earblisteringly loud to the point of pain, on *low* gain. Which maxes out at .45mw. Of course that's with no pre-amp of -11.0dB. Yet even on High Gain like this, it can't get painfully loud...- Mkilbride

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Wasn't the review on Audioscience, but more that every audio related forums I could visit had at least a half dozen *different* posters complaining about Hel2 issues. Even saw a post about a guy saying he didn't know what everyone was talking about, his unit was perfect and he loved it, no...- Mkilbride

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Nice reply, but technically I've been here longer than you. *Technically*. Anyways, I'm going to look around more. I wish I could give the Hel2 a try via Amazon, sadly however it's almost 70$ more expensive on Amazon. I'm mainly just trying for something to connect to the PS5. My Fiio A5 Amp...- Mkilbride

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Oh excuse me, I meant to say the Hel2E. Amazon reviews are terrible; Head-Fi reviews are terrible, reddit reviews are terrible, and Audioscience reviews are terrible. Now I know people with problems are the ones posting, not the people without, but everywhere I look it seems nuts. Also...- Mkilbride

Is it normal to need a different volume for headphone Amps depending on the Source?
So I set volume to 100% on the source. When I'm watching on my NVIDIA Shield, I typically turn the Dial on my Fiio A5 to around 35-40% Low Gain. When I switch to my PS5 as source, I need to turn the knob up to around 60-70% to get a similar audio volume. Using HD600's connected to my Denon...- Mkilbride

I want to use my HD600's on my PS5. I have a Fiio A5 Amp. What Dongle to get?
Just to update, that cable did not work. When plugged in, my volume was so low, that even with my Amp on High Gain at 100%, it just barely was audible. Meanwhile normally I run the HD600 at 50% Low Gain. -
I want to use my HD600's on my PS5. I have a Fiio A5 Amp. What Dongle to get?
...did not sound right. The PS5 does not have any options to select Headphones, it auto-detects. So the PS5 is detecting them as speakers, and I don't *know* if that's affecting audio quality here. I also can't get 3D Audio this way, but not exactly a thing I care all that much about. Looking...- Mkilbride

Looking for new surround setup, 500$ Budget.
I have a Denon 1312. It's a small room. I recently decided to upgrade my budget form 300$ to 500$. Previously I had Energy Take RC Micro's, fairly good and I enjoyed them, however, most of the set randomly died on me, I tried everything, and can't figure out why. So I want a replacement. I paid...- Mkilbride

I don't want to spend alot, I mean, they're earbuds, I plan to use them with a Handheld system, maybe a MP3 player while I'm on the go, I do not need super high fi 100$ ear-buds.
