OK, you are making this way too complicated. Everything worked exactly like I thought it would. My diagram may have been a little confusing, but I tried to clarify in writing. Anyways, I appreciate your replies in trying to help.

Let me clarify. It's AC current. The arrows are there to indicate where I make the connections. On the switch, it should be labeled 1,2,3. A being the accessory or device to connect. Yes, "N" is Neutral and "L" is Live. DC is going to be rectified on the headphone amp. Therefore, I think it's...

I'm going to install a light rocker switch and I think it's connected correctly, but I would like confirmation that it's connected correctly because I'm not 100 percent sure. I want the light to be on only when the accessory is turned on. Here is the diagram.

Thanks Alcophone for your reply. That was a very interesting side note.

Thanks MindsMirror for your reply. That was an awesome explanation and I really appreciate it.

I've heard there's different kinds of power supplies, but the terms confuse me. People claim the power supply type and specs can make a big difference in the sound of whatever it's powering. Therefore, I have some questions. 1) Is a linear power supply synonymous with a regulated power supply...

Sound is neutral, not tube warm and definitely not bright. Grado SR325e are already bright enough and if it was a bright amp it would probably make the SR325e even brighter. Soundstage is average width. In my experience, soundstage is more affected by the headphone than the amp. It has good...

I just received the Magni 3. Here's my quick impressions after about 30 minutes of listening to DSD, CD, and internet radio. I used my Grado SR325e headphones to test. The amp is plenty powerful for me. The volume goes way higher than I listen to. Pretty revealing, the sound is definitely...

Yes, that's the amp. Again, the amp SPDIF input is 3.5mm not RCA. Therefore, my questions remain.

That is correct. But, the Big Blue Amp has 3.5mm SPDIF input jack. Therefore, that's why I asked, what kind of cable and/or adapter do I need to connect my Roku Soundbridge coaxial SPDIF RCA output to 3.5mm Big Blue Amp coaxial SPDIF input? I'm thinking I need a female rca to 3.5mm mono...

I want to use spfdif. I'll be using a Roku Soundbridge that has both optical and coaxial out. I have a digital coaxial cable that has rca connectors on both ends. Do I need an adapter or cable of some kind? If I need an adapter, where can I buy it. A link would be great. If I need a cable...

Thanks guys. Awesome post Tomb!

Sorry about that, I accidently typed C5. It's C2 on the schematic. Therefore, will a polarized cap work?

I'm building a Cmoy heaphone amp with extra parts laying around. Is it OK to substitute a polarized cap for a non-polarized cap, the caps for C5 in the amplifier section, based upon the Cmoy plans from Tangentsoft.net? Thanks in advance.

I was looking at JDS Labs Cmoy BB design and it uses a 1 dual opamp chip. The 47 design uses 2 dual opamp chips. My question is, why does the 47 amplifier use 2 dual opamps? What is the second opamp used for?  Thanks in advance.

I am a big fan of the Sennheiser HD800. I use my Schiit Magni 1 with it. It's not the best match, my CEC HD53N sounds alot better than the Magni. But my CEC died, so I use my Magni. The Magni is surprisingly good for a $100 amp. The Magni 2 should be even better than the Magni 1. The Magni has...

Don't forget the CEC HD53N balanced headphone amp. I have this amp and I love it. 

Please keep in mind that I only tested jazz music for this review because that is the main genre I listen to. I used for this review the Sennheiser hd800 headphone. The Questyle cma800r is $1500 including shipping and the CEC hd53n is $1150 including shipping. I used the cma800r single-ended...

I want to also confirm that leaving the amp on for 48 hours with just the 6sn7 front tube installed with no signal, no music playing will make the hum go away. My tube had a slight hum but is now silent. It is well worth the trouble to make a humming tube quiet. I noticed when burning-in the...

Yeah, they are very well made. I'm shocked at how good the X1 sounds. I enjoy these as much as my HD800. Technically the HD800 is a better the better headphone, but it is so analytical that is can sometimes it can be an unengaging listen. The X1 is such a fun and enjoyable headphone. It's a...

I got this headphone for $250 on amazon. I think it is easily worth 2-3 times the price. I like this headphone as much as the Hifiman HE-500 which is $700. The X1 is as beautiful in person as it is in pictures. It has a solid quality feel to it. I’m powering the X1 with the Schiit Magni. I think...

I should add that I think the tc-7510 sounds pretty good for the price. One should keep in mind that the dacmagic is 4 times the cost of the tc-7510.

I can only compare the tc-7510 to my other dac, the Cambridge Audio Dacmagic. The tc-7510 sounds a little bright, not as warm sounding as the dacmagic. The tc-7510 is not as smooth sounding. The built-in headphone amp on the tc-7510 is not very powerful or great sounding. But, that's what I got...

I use this dac/amp with my magni. http://www.amazon.com/TC-7510-Converter-Headphone-Amplifier-Audiophile/dp/B006AA217E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388690748&sr=8-1&keywords=tc-7510
