    HE-500, LCD2, D5000, DT770, SR80, on a speaker amp (Emotiva mini-X A-100) Project

    Is there any particular reason to make connect the HE-500 to the speaker output instead of the RCA out? Correct me if I'm wrong, this is only for the convenience of having a balanced cable to connect to any speaker amp because they all have the speaker out? so if my DAC has a balanced output...

    December 2013 Mid-Level DAC Comparison

    I'd say include it in the test. Wouldn't it be interesting to see where this double priced DAC stand in the test and comparisons? I'd like to see a much much cheaper DAC ($499 Emotiva Stealth DC-1?) comes out on top of this thing. I know I'm dreaming, but you get the idea.

    Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC

    I jumped on the sale and got DC-1 and Mini-a X-100 for my HE-500 They'll arrive tmr. I was really curious how the DC-1 would sound as it seems everyone here seems to be having a hard time describing the sound signature.  So I decide to hear it for myself.  If I don't like it I'll return it...

    Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC

    I'd be interested to know your opinion on how it compares to your bifrost schiit with your LCD2.2 I'm sure a lot of us would like to know that too given the popularity of the Schiit. I was originally thinking of getting that schiit for my new HE-500 before I found out about Emotiva

    So which other Emotiva amp that you guys can safely recommend for HE-500? I'm also looking to get the Stealth DC-1 DAC to go with it.  Their prices is so good

      Thanks for the reply. Good to know that its the best deal for it. Probably will give up the Schiit for these. Does any other emotiva amp works with the HE-500? Like XPA-200 or UPA-200 or would it be too much power for it. Might want more than 50W for future speakers upgrade. Usually need...

    HE-500, LCD2, D5000, DT770, SR80, on a speaker amp (Emotiva mini-X A-100) Project

    just received my HE-500 yesterday and looking for an amp for it. Originally thinking of getting Schiit Lyr but MalVeauX said it has almost the same sound as Lyr if not better here, and Emotiva is having a sale on the mini-x A-100 for $169, it is a very pretty attractive price. Is that as low...

    Black Schiit! (Or, our supplier's mistake is your, um, benefit?)

    Given that your whole web site is designed in black, it should be natural to have black as your signature color. I'll probably get a bifrost now.

    Crossover A2 with subwoofer?

      I'll try it for a few days anyway . i can always return it.. I actually have a pair of brand new A5 but i don't have the table space for it. If I really feel the mid bass are missing I'll may be get some new monitors.. but its a lot of money since I also need to upgrade DAC

    Crossover A2 with subwoofer?

      There are 2 inputs on the A2  a 1/8" input and a RCA input. Audioengine also made the RCA input to be able to output as well The DAC will connect to the 1/8" and the RCA input (which can also output) will connect to the sub   However, I'm considering getting a new DAC like the shiity...

    Crossover A2 with subwoofer?

      but this seems to be able to do the job i've mentioned above?   I also kinda knew the sub might not pair well with the A2.. They're just too tiny.. and I have a huge room. Just wanted to give it a try.. if its not what I like I can return it. Or I can upgrade the monitor to something better.

    Crossover A2 with subwoofer?

    The result I want to have is to separate the audio so satellite/monitor only receive higher frequency input and subwoofer will only receive lower frequency (which most of them filter themselves). So the monitor is the only problem. I want to reduce the load on the tiny A2s so they can focus on...
