    I see no reason to use a receiver. (it's a PC setup) I use HA1 as a DAC. The Sub/Speaker manual said to connect stuff to Sub first, so that you can control the bass righ from the Sub (you can bypass the Speakers bass and out the bass on the Sub, or balance the bass frequency Hz between Sub and...

    it's a plain, boring aluminum box HA-1 on the other hand looks superb with it's customizable displays and greatly adds to your setup look

    Why do good DACs look like crap design wise? http://www.schiit.com/products/yggdrasil HA-1 looks soo much better in action with digital displays at all.

    My HA-1 gets pretty hot. Like 40'-50' degrees, hot to the touch. Is this normal?

    Sennheiser's Own Balanced Cables CH 650 S

    Hey guys, i got quite a situation here. I have ordered from Amazon the substitute XLR cable for my 650 HD. The substitute cable model is CH 650 S, which should fit my Headphones.   But instead I received a CH 800 S cable in a CH 650 S box.   Needless to say, the CH800S cable is not...

    How to properly record internet radio?

    I've bought a paid monthly subscription to an online radio that I can't get in my country. I want to rip it for a few days to make a playlist for listening in my car.   The problem is when I rip it with one of the programs,the files get arranged by the track/artist name, thus screwing up the...

    Hey, thanks for taking the time to write up your extensive take on this.   I did order today the balanced cable upgrade for my headphones. Gonna see soon if it makes any difference. Hopefully it's what you guys say (juice/xlr thing) and not some lame-ass windows/software config glitch on my part.

    I'm just trying to figure out who fault is that. OPPOs?   I used to have some cheap Samson amp (link) that would drive the same headphones without any problems.   And about the cables. I got linked some in this thread for $76, which is not that inexpensive.

    BTW, i'd like to get back to this discussion because it won't let me put my mind to rest:   1. If Senn HD650 has a nominal impedance of 300Ohms, why didn't they make them with XLR connector in the first place, seeing that they wouldn't be getting enough juice with a regular 6.35mm jack?   2...

    Thank you for this extensive info. Going to set it up like you suggest.   Although I use it not only for headphones, but for speakers also (Adam A5X on my desktop PC).

    How do you guys have your system set up in WIndows?   Do you set Windows volume all the way up and then control the system volume thru the OPPO-HA-1 remote control?   And the speakers? Do you turn the speaker volume (knob) all the way up?

    Could you clarify what exactly is running out of juice? The OPPO HA-1 is plugged into a wall socket. And i though that this was supposed to be a AMP for the headphones?  How can it be running out of juicy? Why? Where is all the juice going that it's not enough of it?

    Balanced cable?  On the headphones you mean?   No, it's standard cable that came with Sennheiser phones.   Anyway, when i max everything out i get enough volume. It's just that some cheap-ass earbuds sound much louder at lower volume settings.

    Guys, any idea why my Sennheiser HD650 get very low sound with Oppo HA-1 ?   I basically have to turn Oppo volume knob all the way up and windows volume control all the way up too.   I tried some no-name earbuds and they get much louder signal.

    Premium earbuds too high pitched. Why?

    Got a pair of new Sennheiser cx70 earbuds.   The hights (tweeters) are waay too high pitched for my linking. Sound is too piercing. Have to turn down the volume. Bass is just okay. Is this happening with all premium earbuds?   Is there some brand/model that's good quality but with actually...

    HELP: Speakers don't work when chained off of Subwoofer

    Manufacturer sent me a PDF guide on how to disassemble it and check internal connectors.  After I had done it and it didn't help they said to ship the unit to them (Berlin, Germany) through the dealer i bought it from.

    HELP: Speakers don't work when chained off of Subwoofer

    Yea man tried that. If only sats are turned on - whole system just shuts down (nothing from sub and nothing from sattelites)   I took it down to a local music store and they couldn't get their own speakers to work either - seems no signal is going out to them from the sub.
