I did, same results. As for the ears, your suggestion is far from silly, and I gave it a try too: my ears aren't to blame...

Indeed, that happens even when the Mojo 2 is unplugged, and with 2 of my more sensitive headphones.

Anyone else getting fairly audible hiss mainly on the left channel using sensitive headphones (in my case Final Sonorous III) with the Mojo 2 ? Or could my unit be defective ?

I've just had the D8000 on loan for a few days - the purpose was to compare it to my beloved Empyrean - and I can definitely relate to every single word you wrote about your impressions on both these headphones. BUT, as you perfectly stated, the choice is all down to personal preferences and...

Question here: who listens to classical/orchestral music with the Classics ? And how does it sound with it ? I'm asking because I'm really interested in buying the Classics (or the Neo, not sure yet), and because I mainly listen to classical and film music. Thanks !

So, what about these news then ?

"So why are we doing a Kickstarter – we’re not a startup but a well known established company." => They're definitely not trying to position themselves as a start-up !

New and happy owner of the microStreamer here ! Thanks to Michael and everybody for your trustful advices !

Hey Michael, among the USB cables you've tried, was there a WireWorld cable by any chance ? If so, which one(s), and what were your impressions ? Thanks !

Good to know, thank you ! I wonder how the GO behaves with classical and orchestral music and if it's a good match or not, could anyone enlighten me on this point ?

Thanks a lot for your input ! May I ask what kind of music do you listen to ?

Thanks Jexby ! Actually I'm going to purchase either the microStreamer or the GO450 (same price) to pair with my HD 598. The former came highly recommended, before I read about the latter... And now it's a dilemma !

Thanks, yes I've already carefully read his really interesting impressions; I'd just like a few more details if possible, because I found this specific sentence quite vague nonetheless.

Has anybody been able to compare the GO with the hrt microStreamer yet ?

That's some important information, actually the rPAC seemed the least interesting of those options with the HD 598 from the beginning to me, compared to the other ones. Thanks for your input !

Thanks for your contribution !

No one ?

Thanks for your answer Charles ! Indeed the microStreamer has my preference right now. Nevertheless, in my country, I can get the Explorer or the rPAC for the very same price (I think both of them are usually more expensive elsewhere), that's why I'd like to have your opinion on this, for those...

Hi everyone, I'd like to improve my listening experience by getting a DAC, into which I'd plug my Senn HD 598. I've read a lot of threads, opinions on this site, and set my mind on 4 options, all of them USB DACs, they will be more convenient for my use right now (listening on my computer...

It does, thanks ! I plan to get a usb DAC, and so far I'm considering the AQ Dragonfly, HRT microstreamer and Meridian Explorer... So trying to gather information and the feelings of those who experienced these combinations with the HD 598.

I am very curious, could you try to precise what you feel this combination brings to the sound of these headphones ? And what kind of music dou yo listen to with it ?

For those who have (had) the combination, how does the MicroStreamer pair with the senn HD 598 ? Thank you !

For those who have (had) the combination, how does the Dragonfly v1.2 pair with the senn HD 598 ? Thank you !

For those who have (had) the combination, how does the Explorer pair with the senn HD 598 ? Thank you !
