    Hello, is it possible to set either RCA or XLR out to "calibrated" and the other one to "variable" ?

    Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB

    For me the effect is significant. But since you asked i just tried to quantify the effect by reducing the left or right channel volume at the PC. When the Volume pot is at 10 o'clock i have to reduce the left channel by 2 percent and at 3 o'clock to increase left channel by 1 percent to get the...

    Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB

    I found out that my HDR Version has an irregularity in left-right channel balance with its volume pot. The middle of the stage gets shifted in the left area when the pot is at 9 to 11 o'clock, and slight to the right at around 3 o'clock. The problem does not occur when i avoid the volume pot...

    REVIEW: JMoney Audio Genuine Leather earpads for Beyer DT770/880/990

    My DT 880 leatherpads arrived today and i can't be happier! The pads are very easy to install on the headphone, in opposite to the original velour pads. The already comfortable Beyer got so much more comfortable, that i even like the feeling having them on my head. As for the sound, let me...

    Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB

    Would it hurt the amp (or even the DAC1) if i connected it from RCA to XLR? The amp has not a balanced out but a single ended. My guess is that this version has XLR inputs just because it is more common in studios (pro version). What about a XLR Splitter? It is galvanic splitted between in-...

    Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB

    I have a Lehmann BCL Pro (with XLR inputs) connected to the XLR outputs from my DAC1 HDR, but since i plan to buy active speakers soon (probably K+H o300), the XLR outputs have to get free. Do you think it might be possible to hear a difference when i feed the Lehmann amp through a Cinch-XLR...

    Turn to page 5 of your HD800 owner's manual (all silver frame HD800)

    IpodPJ, i don't think this is an all-silver edition. In my opinion it is just the lighting conditions which make it partially seem like one. Do you relate to the same page i think you do? On my page 5 there is an explanation of the used material mix (headband, cable, pads and the dust protector.

    Question about Gaming Headphones

    After experimenting a bit with your suggestions about settings i found that with 5.1 speakers and headphone cmss activated i could spot footsteps to over 90% exactly in terms of degree, but information about the distance between me and the footsteps seemed to be lost. When deactivating...

    Hello Elias, the Benchmark DAC-1 HDR gets very warm even when shut down. Can i prolong its life by always disconnecting it from the power (with a switch on the power socket)? Greetings, Stefan

    Question about Gaming Headphones

    And for all i read i guess the HD 800 will be even more so. I didn't know of the benefit of setting the windows speakersystem to 5.1 or 7.1 yet and i was surprised of how good it worked (5.1 even better for unknown reason). With the addition of EAX effects i can locate almost exactly where a...

    Question about Gaming Headphones

    Hello, i have a X-Fi Titanium as well and use it in games with a DT 880 (through optical out to a Benchmark DAC). I have it set to game-mode, headphones, xi-cmss-3d activated and can locate footsteps in games (for example css) quite exactly, including forth/back and even up/down to a certain...

    Gsferrari, you said "With the right amp - the SA5000 is better than the SR-404 out of the Stax 007T". On which amp did you get that result with your SA5000 and what was the source ?

    Sony MDR-SA 5000 on PC ?

    my sources are: PC (mostly mp3, do i need to behave in a special way with my audio cds/mp3s to get best sound out of it ?), trekstor musicstick 250 (mp 3 player) and of course television if that counts
