That is some nice drilling. Yeah should be fine. I've had 2 resistors fail so I've had to replace them (they're dirt cheap just annoying to solder since it's not pretty) the 2nd one failed with the case partially on to let some heat out. A drilled cover would have been better.

When my amp popped, one of the LED lights would immediately go out, then eventually come back on. Keep an eye on them. The amp runs really hot and doesn't have ventilation so component life can be an issue. The Burson V5 had an issue where they weren't rated for the voltage the H10 was...

Do the V6 work best at any specific gain setting? According to Burson the +6 or +12 was recommended for the V5

I and another fellow had the same problem (his was ride side iirc) it came down to a transistor wearing out. Luckily it only costs a few dollars shipped. Try opening up the H10 and checking if the LEDs are lighting up. Usually when one side pops the LED goes out, that's the side you'll have to...

Considering grabbing SS3602 duals and V5i singles.  Man these things get expensive :O   Still need to get rid of these dt990s too.  I wish hifiman re-released he500 with the comfort, weight and connectors of the he400S :(

This amp really brings out the dt990s.  The bass hits harder, lower, dryer and faster.  The treble is much stronger too.  I can finally hear what people were talking about with the recessed mids in comparison to the bass/treble.  I always thought the dt990s sounded fairly normal with a small V...

I just set my dac to max and use the H10 for actual volume control.  Seems to make more sense I think.   What do you guys think of burn in time with this unit?  I feel like I'm hearing more sub bass compared to my old nuforce icon hdp.  Hard to tell so early, I think my brain needs to adjust...

Hmm a conundrum.  I have a volume pot on my dac, and on my headphone amp and they both can control the volume at the same time.  What to do?

  Just checked inside, both set to 110v so I'm set.     Also the volume pot jiggle is because it looks like there is a small gap between where the metal rod goes through the case.  Probably less than 1mm, maybe half a mm. Tiny but enough for some jiggle action.

Boy does this thing look great.     I noticed my volume pot has some side to side jiggle to it, which makes a nice clunky metal noise inside -_-   With the most amount of jiggle at the quietest volume setting, and least jiggle at the loudest setting.       I clearly don't have the...

H10 out for delivery.     The wait is real ship mates

The absolute terrible QC of these headphones is the only reason I haven't gotten a pair.  My 7 year old DT990s are still working great (Probably 20000hrs+) Audeze on the other hand it seems to be a lottery of not if, but when your drivers will fail.  I couldn't imagine being past warranty and...

He's one of the <1% that's going to cut out his amp case and build an enclosure around it. Why not just increase the dimensions by 1mm and call it a day I don't know.     If Burson is really going to replace those opamps because of something so trivial then they really are an A class company

  Guess i'm going full boat next month

  What is it and should it be a reason for me not to grab the V5s :D

Fuse them together with some voodoo gypsy magic to make an h20 :O

Just grabbed the H10 off massdrop.  Shame it doesn't ship for 3 weeks!

You rock.   Edit: found the cables

So it's been about 7 years since I upgraded to a Nuforce Icon HDP (amp/dac) and dt990s from an Asus Xonar Essence STX which I fried accidentally, and HD555s that sound like tin cans compared to dt990s.  They're both still going strong even after very heavy use, but I think it's time to upgrade...

Yeah I'm only getting audio out of the left channel and it's super quiet. Also one of the metal prong things on one of the op amps sort of... fell off. Would it matter if I don't even put an op amp in the buffer if I'm using headphone out?

Haha yeah I think I just learned the hard way... not getting anymore audio. Maybe I can RMA it lol >_< Dunno what went wrong though, the pins were all connected in there. I only got sound out of the left channel though, and it was incredibly quiet. After repositioning the op amps...

I've got 2x LME49720HA's and the adapters for them, but I have no idea how to solder these things on.

Hmm, I think I'll just go with the 2x LME49720HA. Thanks
