I have a desktop amplifier for bookshelf speakers. I ordered a new subwoofer. But the connection between them cast some cloud over me. The desktop amplifier is the old version NAD 3020 which has the description on its subwoofer output: dedicated mono mini (3.5mm) output for powered subwoofer...

The OTL is simply out of my reach given my current disposable cash. The Violetric seems to be great. Will see when I can get an upgrade :smile_phones:. How much better will the V281 make HD800 better than with the HDVA600? Did you use it only without pre-amp?

If I can catch a great deal I may get it. The HDVA600 is specicifically designed for the HD800 by Sennheiser. If it only bring 70% of HD800 capability, I am not that sure about it. I am sure there are better amplifier but they might be more expensive. The HDVA600 has 4 outputs and is very...

Thank you Gambitek. I had read similar reviews. I am very satisfied with the HD800 and am just have the thought of "I want the Klipsch and T1 2nd" also. I guess I have contain my urge to get another headphone and spend the money on the lens for this time being..

I have the HD800 which I love it and would keep it even I have more and better one. I had been interested in the Byerdynamic T1 first generation. Of course I like the 2nd generation even more. I had Klipsch Synergy home theater system and bookshelf RP-160M. Needless to say I love this brand...

Something similar, what I was looking for has the opposite male-female connector to the one at eBay. But right now I do not need it because I bought a new integrated amplifier NAD D 3020 and no longer need to use HDVA 600 to a powered amplifier. If I happens to see the right one I may try it and...

Received ATH-M50X, sound is good. It does not feel comfortable to wear but tolerable. Ear piece is small. It's probably I got used to bigger ear pieces like HD800.

Yes, I read it's not very comfortable, maybe it feels like what I feel from Sennheiser HD 380 Pro. I read someone changed ear pads and it became comfortable. I will try that. After this I am done with headphone. I have close to 10 already. Unless I have a few $$$$ for an STAX SR-009

Ordered ATH M50X, it's on sale now at $111.75, hope it will feel good. Thank you guys.

I searched on web and cannot find any such cable. I need it to connect the 4 pin XLR to the headphone output on HDVA 600 so I can put the two 3 pin XLR (or the 1/4" TRS male) to the input of a powered amplifier for bookshelf speakers. Btw, from DAC Audio GD-19 to the HDVA 600 I am using...

I had a few head phones which work for me greatly at home. I am looking for one that I will use at office. My Sennheiser HD Pro 380 is closed back and it does not feel comfortable. I haven't frequented this board for quiet long and I am not aware if any headphone meet what I need. 1. decent...

Thank you Dulalala and ProtegeManiac, I think I will buy a new integrated amp or a powered amp. I love my current headphone rig very much and will keep it. Luckily, some decent amp to drive the bookshelf speakers aren't so expensive as those that drive the headphone.

Something is wrong with your headphone, or the base or the transmission between them. I have HD650 and RS220. The sound quality of the RS 220 is so close to HD650 that I could not tell the difference. My Only problem with the RS220 is that if I walked to a different room that there are two...

I am using DAC-19 from Audio-GA and HDVA 600 to power Sennheiser HD800 and the set is pretty good. But Sometimes I don't like headphone hooked on head. I want to get the Klipsch RP-160M bookshelf speakers. Can I use the same DAC-19 from Audio-GA and HDVA 600 to power the Klipsch RP-160M...

  Another video by Gong Linna. What's the highest note did she sing?

Hello my friends, long time no show  of me.   Just received my balanced cable for HD 800 made by Norne audio. Here is what I feel the most obvious:   Using Amanero USB from windows 8.1, music sounds good and feels good and volume is much higher than using optical or Coaxial from the same PC...

  Thanks. Great to know. Someday I will attempt this.

I received a few pins. I know they are to be put inside to change settings but I haven't dug into details of that on how and why and what benefit we can gain from doing that.

Thank you ProtegeManiac, I read similar OTG-USB solution for android tablet. I have both type and will try this for time being.   Nice setup . 

I am looking for a good quality Digital Audio Player to play lossless (FLAC preferred) format music and output signal via digital connection (optical, Coaxial or USB) to dedicated DAC and Amp and to headphone. I am looking for this to avoid using PC all the time to play music. I do not carry DAP...

In that case I may want to look for a cheaper digital music player with digital output. My main use of it is to output digital signal (lossless play) to DAC-19 (only take in USB, Optical and Coaxial) to amp to headphone, I will not carry the digital player around. So X7's built in DAC and amp is...

The Coaxial is the only digital output from the X7 (and many other DMPs). Is there better way to take out digital signal from X7 other than using the Coaxial? No?
