Sennheiser HD800S Unveiled!
I am very eager to get my hands on the HD800S as soon as they are available. Unfortunately it seems like it won't be coming out anytime "soon" this year.- securitybunny

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
First pair had rattling internal parts in the driver. Second pair had a loose cable connector which clicked when the cable was jiggled / touched slightly. Forcing me to not move my head at all unless I wanted to put up with the clicking. Honestly, I would probably prefer to return it and...- securitybunny

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
On my third HE1000 replacement, mainly surrounding build quality inconsistency. Hopefully third time's the charm.- securitybunny

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
Just received my HE1000 today and ordered a Silver Dragon cable for it. Are there any other modifications / upgrades that could be made to these headphones? I'm upgrading from an HD800 so I would say my biggest complaint would be the headband being too short and the earpads getting hot / feel itchy.- securitybunny

HE1000 vs LCD3
Thanks! I appreciate your input, review, and comparison. I have gone ahead and ordered an HE-1000, which should arrive on Wednesday. My only concern is reading that the production models are receiving a shorter head band strap compared to the beta units. In the event I find it to be too...- securitybunny

HE1000 vs LCD3
I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to ask for advice in the high-end audio forum which is why I posted in the recommendations section. I listen to all kinds of music, jazz and classical mostly. However I'm only interested in really having one pair of headphones, so I would prefer to have...- securitybunny

HE1000 vs LCD3
Hello Head-Fi, I'm interested in upgrading my headphones to something end-game. I currently have a heavily modified Sennheiser HD800 but I have been looking at both the HE1000 and LCD3. Out of the two, which is the better headphone? Current setup. Headphones: Sennheiser HD800 w/...- securitybunny

Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier
Thanks for the suggestion. I've gone ahead and switched them. It is still quite hot to the touch on the front and hard to notice any difference. Hopefully my unit is not defective and is operating within normal expected temperature behavior.- securitybunny

Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier
Finally received my Ragnarok. I haven't had enough time to thoroughly test it yet, but the first thing I noticed is how hot it operates. Is it normal for the front-top / front-bottom to be near scalding hot? Hot as in unable to rest my hand for more than a few seconds without having to remove...- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Here's what I did to get the drivers to install on Windows 10. Perhaps it will work for you too. Open control panel, navigate to system and security, go to system, and then open device manager. On the 'Schiit Audio Gen 3 USB' device, it should have a yellow triangle with an exclamation...- securitybunny

Would replacing the power cable to the AMP or DAC provide any benefit?
I currently have a LessLoss DFPC Original power cable lying around and was wondering if there was any benefit to replacing the stock power cable on an amp or dac. If so, since I only have one replacement cable, which would provide more benefit - using it on an amp or using it on a dac?- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
On a slight change of topic, does anyone happen to know if it is possible to force install the Yggy USB drivers on Windows 10? There seems to be an OS version check to prevent it from installing, which is a shame since I am able to install Windows 7 drivers for my USB playback bridge on Windows...- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
One final question from me regarding the Rag / Ygg combo. I plan on connecting the Ygg to the Rag with balanced XLR cables. Currently my HD800s are single ended. Is it significantly recommended to use a balanced headphone input over SE for greater fidelity or is the only perceivable difference...- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
I just took the plunge and ordered both a Yggdrasil and Ragnarok to hopefully be my end game setup for my HD800s. Hopefully the backorder wait is not too long! I do have one question that I hope someone will be able to answer. Is it safe to stack each unit on top of each other temperature...- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Thanks for the information. Are there any good comparisons done with the Ragnarok comparing SE and balanced outputs yet? Did you initially order a balanced cable, send your headphones in for the conversion, or change out the connector yourself? I'd be a bit worried that I would muck...- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Is balanced that significantly better over SE output? I currently use a hardwired endorphin single-ended cable on my HD 800s. I would have to send it in to get the cable removed, since it is hardwired.- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Silly question. Has anyone fully tested the Ragnarok with the HD 800s using the single end connector? Does it drive enough power to the headphones and sound good? I'm planning on the Rag and Ygg to be my end game.- securitybunny

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Has there been any news regarding the Yggdrasil release as of yet? Very interested in upgrading my HD 800 setup from a Burson Conductor to a Schiit Ragnarok + Yggdrasil. However, holding off on the Ragnarok as I do not have a suitable standalone DAC to compliment it.- securitybunny
