Just to jump in here. I have a TH900 that's terminated to balanced cable and also have a balanced to SE adapter. Source is a Gustard X12   Here's what I see   Balanced I - Balanced O no hum Balanced I - SE O hum SE I - Balanced O no hum SE I - SE O no hum Nothing Connected - Balanced O...

Running pretty much everything balanced means I don't have to feel bad about skipping rev 2. I could go for some Cavalli Limited Edition rubber feet though. 

My reply is from 5 days ago, I asked them if there was any difference between the TI and regular closed version. So possible they updated the closed when they released the TI, which would make both statements correct?

From Audeze Support Thanks for your inquiry. The EL-8 headphones are all the same on the inside, the only difference is the color and the Lightning cable that comes with the Titaniums.

Yeah I know, I think this deal split right is cheaper than Brian's usual discount.

Anyone want that iFi Nano but not the Sine? I want to check out the Sine but have no interest in the iFi, so if you are the opposite let me know...

Have you tried outputting 24/32 bit audio from your computer and then lowering the volume on the Mojo? Wouldn't expect any loss of quality if that was done, though could be wrong.

Perfectly happy with mine, can't see what they'd improve. When can I order the new one? 

As someone waiting for the LCD-XC to get here but thinking maybe one of the Ethers would've been a wiser choice, would love to have that expanded upon.

Just the one.

What about the Balanced TEACs, anyone try one with the LC?   I'm leaning towards the V800, I know its super expensive but light their philosophy and seems to have reasonable set of features I'd want.

Yes it does, but just trying to see if I missed any options.

I do and it is, just feels silly to spend that kind of $ and getting a "useless" port (though I've certainly done sillier things).   Thanks for the warning, will cross it off the list. The DAC-19 is interesting, have been curious to find out what R2R is all about.

Thanks for the suggestions, the HA-1 is actually $950 as a refurb, and probably < $850 used. But yeah still quite a bit.   I've had an Audio-GD in the past, other than the awful volume changing buttons, no complaints. But I've heard some recent troubling talk about their QA + lack of usable...

Yeah, the problem is I'd need to upgrade the USB chip to the XMOS board which adds another ~$200 or so (the current chip requires a driver on OS X which I just won't install). At that price I'd probably go for a refurb Oppo HA-1 which has that cool looking display.

The old DAC thread got discontinued and I was wondering if there were some new options out there that I have missed.   Here's what I want.   Requirements:   Balanced (I know its not supposed to matter much but the heart wants what the heart wants) Physically close in size to the LC (Not...

Is it a 60HZ hum or white noise? First, if possible, try different headphones or try your current headphones on a different amp. Any new appliances or dimmer switches installed? Try a different outlet?

I'm by no means an expert, but I do know that the Schiit guys say there isn't any problem with leaving the Mjolnir on all the time. Also they say it takes about 15 minutes to fully warm up, are you hearing static after 15 minutes? Are you hearing static with your DAC disconnected and are you...

Anyone have a good set of instructions on re-terminating the TH900 with a XLR 4 pin connector? I don't expect any SQ changes but would really like to use it on my Mjolnir to see how it matches up.   I'm assuming get a NC4MX-HD, cut the old connector off, strip the cable, strip the wires...

Out of curiosity, why did you pick the Soloist vs the Soloist SL? I debated between both and decided the SL made more sense for the TH900 since it doesn't need a ton power and I personally prefer analog volume. Haven't gotten it yet, so can't say how it sounds, but hoping its as good.

Did you get the HP-A8 (possibly C) yet?

017XX in my case

Of course a transformer if it is set to US voltage would likely also cause problems. :^)

No idea if it'll help you, but I recently (you can see a couple pages back) ordered up the extended yokes and a set of the LCD-3 pads. It did help, still not as good as an HD800, but better. My head is on the large size though...
