Mine is also dead quiet, I would check earthing firs,t this is nearly always associated with hum problems, initially I would remove the earth connection to the headphone amp and check if its better or has no effect

If you really want to make the HE400's sing get the HiFiman balanced cable and use a SCHIIT MJOLNIR balanced headphone amplifier, to my ears this sounds fantastic although I still need a slight 3db boost between 2 to 5 kHz to sound best, by theway having tried the velour pads I have reverted...

I recently bought a Mjolnir headphone amp to drive my HE400's (I also use my balanced DT880s as well) and they sound brilliantly with it, no noise or hum, volume pot is typically around 9oclock to 11oclock position, my headphones have the HiFiman balanced cable fitted with a 4 pin xlr, I still...

I own a pair of HE400's and wonder how they  compare to Mad Dogs version of the Fostex headphones which are similar in being a planar design like the HE400s, has anyone done a comparison between the two?

Just bought the balanced leads from HiFiman for the HE400s, bass control better with a smoother and more open midrange when compared to the standard factory lead, overall sound signature simialr to original so not a major stepup but certainly worth having, the lead by the way is much more...

Can anyone suggest a good balanced cable for the HE400s it must come with a 4pin xlr connection to match my amp, not too expensive and available either as an import or available locally within the UK.   Also has anyone carried out any mods to the HE400s with angling the ear speakers away...

i have downloded the lindman usb driver and extracted the zip file but can only see one inf file also can you explain more fully what to do step by step if possible, also is the kindman better sounding than the official stello driver.

Tubes used Sylvania  6CY7 and original Mullard GZ32

I tried a Woo SA6 but didn't find it to my liking, lacking some drive, so I tried my Little Dot V11 and found plenty of drive but sound a little bright, then tried my old Consonance Cyber20, this proved to be the best all round with the nice EL84 output triodes connected amply driving the HD800s...

Thanks to everyone for their replies, I think I will stay with my ATH W1000's as I do like them very much and overall I think they are the best of my present haedphones which comprise ATH AD1000, Ultrasone Pro 900 and Beyer DT880 (balanced connection), I was only considering the ATH W5000 as I...

I like my WTH W1000 headphones a lot as they produce a very good even balanced sound, would it be a worhtwhile upgrade to change them to the WTH W5000s?

I have one of these Lynx soundcards along with a RME 9632 (in different computers) both cards are very good regarding sound, the RME tends to be cheaper to buy and has very good drivers, it also has many different outputs available, including digital/headphone/analogue, whereas the Lynx is...

nearly bought one until someone said the output is resampled to 48khz whatever the input.

I have both musiland 02 and pro900 headphones, although the combination will work, I believe it is best to use a proper headphone amplifier to drive the pro900 headphones and use the musiland to output the signal source to the amplifier, I personally use a Little Dot V11 amplifier with good results

the new version of 1.0.8.4 date march 4th works fine for both both 44.1 and 96khz sampling and doesnt have the slowdown I had with the original 1.0.8.4 driver, sounds great but whether it is any better than previous drivers is difficult as the musiland sounds great with all the previous drivers...

I have just installed the latest driver 1.0.8.4 and everything works fine using 44.1khz, but when I upsample to 96 or 192 the replay is slowed down lowering the pitch of the voice, I use latest Foobar with sox upsampler and vista os, the previous driver was excellent with no problems, any ideas?

AutoFLAC 1.2 - Changelog - Softpedia above is link for autoflac download to use wit EAC, tried it tonight for the first time takes a little time to integrate into eac just follow the autoflac instructions provided with the program, results are excellent although no cue file is generated.

this looks pretty good havent seen it before Little Dot MK DAC_II Digital-to-Analog Converter / Headphone Amplifier The Little Dot DAC_II combines our Little Dot DAC_I's D/A circuit with a built-in (LME49710HA pre-stage and discrete BD139/BD140 transistor output stage) headphone...

use the sox resampler, its better and is more efficient

I bought a pair of PRO 900 headphones a couple of months ago (excellent price from IHeadphones in the UK), I'm not sure if this is good or bad thing but these headphones are the closest I have come across which give a listening experience close to my speakers, I think this may be due to their...

I'm interested in buying one of these can anyone confirm that it can play APE music files, on the web site this is not mentioned like flac,ogg wav etc which are some of the many playback type files.

There's a new Foobar version 1.0 available for download, used it last night through my headphones (Ultrasone Pro900/Little Dot MKV11amp) sound seems have improved.

I use a Consonance Cyber 20 valve headphone amp which is excellent, it uses a great little power valve an EL84 (a proper power valve unlike many other valve amps), this valve is transformer coupled to the headphone and it is connected as a triode in single ended configuration, also has two...

I have just bought a pair of Pro900's and find them an excellent headphone and one of the most even sounding headphones over the whole frequency spectrum that I have owned, much better than my AKG701's and Beyer DT880 (until I recabled my Beyers), I also haven't found the bass overblown infact I...

Yes definitely buy a pair, don't hesitate, they are excellent on all types of music, the sound over the whole frequency range is so even (I haven't found the bass overblown at all, just great, tight and extended more so than any other headphone I have used), I have now tried them being driven by...
