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...- Xxtest83

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...- Xxtest83

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...- Xxtest83

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-...- Xxtest83

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...- Xxtest83

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.- Xxtest83

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...- Xxtest83

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).

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 ?- Xxtest83
