XLR to RCA adapters - Burson Conductor 3XR
Thanks for the quick response. I guess I need to explain further. I want to connect the dac section out to my integrated amp which only has rca input...sorry for the confusion. The burson manual states that using a xlr to rca adapter can damage the burson if you are connecting to a power amp...- Blackrain

XLR to RCA adapters - Burson Conductor 3XR
Can i use a xlr to rca adapter on the dac out of the burson conductor 3XR to a Pre Amp? I know that it is not advisable to use such an adapter on the Variable Pre Out to a power amplifier as it could cause damage. But how about on the standard 2v DAC output or how about RCA out from a source to...- Blackrain

I ordered one at the $3000 price. But I do notice that all the Black Fridays specials have been removed from the site so perhaps the sale is over.- Blackrain

BTW it looks like Stereodesk will honor a 30 day return. This is from their website: Welcome to Audeze's new reference. If Patek Philippe made a headphone, it might resemble the LCD-4. It's not worth your time to compare it to the LCD-3 or the LCD-X or any other headphone. It, like a...- Blackrain

Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)
Well one of the really nice thing about Violectric is that the upgrades can be added later. I don't have the step attenuator but I do have the remote. The overall consensus is that the 128 step attenuator is a very slight increase in performance.- Blackrain

Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)
Well I don't think V281 is over kill as then you will be ready for a headphone upgrade sometime down the line : ) All kidding aside it really depends on your wallet. The V281 has better transparency, dynamic headroom quieter background if you will be using it balanced. If you don't plan to...- Blackrain

Audeze LCD-4
Not an issue for me I liked the LCD 3F I just thought that the HEK was quite a bit better and so the LCD 3F went up for sale. Therefore since the LCD4 is an improvement over the 3F I'm sure I won't have an issue with not liking it.- Blackrain

Ditto.... BTW I sold Hi End Audio during the 90's and had many customers turn away from Stereo Exchange to the establishment I worked for at the time. The more money you have and the more ignorant you are...you become SE favorite customer.- Blackrain

Well I ordered my pair and did not want to use my Local Vendor as they are Stereo Exchange in NY and I hate those guys. They have a great selection but the attitudes are just too much. Besides I don't want to deal with sales tax. Back to eating Ramen for a while.- Blackrain

Violectric DAC V850 - General Discussion and Impressions Thread
Actually my Wadia 321 Sabre based DAC & XMOS USB also plays 176.4 with my MACs without an issue via Amara. So for me neither the Burr Brown Based V850 or the Sabre based Wadia have anny issues with 176.4 files on my MAC via Amara. Both DACs are XMOS USB.- Blackrain

Violectric DAC V850 - General Discussion and Impressions Thread
Ok I have been following this thread and the discussion about the XMOS not supporting 176.4 Well I am able to play 176.4 files on my V850 using Amarra and my MAC's so am I missing something here or is the no support strictly a Windows based problem with the XMOS? My Amarra software shows...- Blackrain

Audeze LCD-4
Well I had the Burson Conductor Virtuoso which in theory should have been enough power with 4 watts. But it also felt like it was underpowered. The deep bass and the slam just wasn't quite there yet. I tried a few other smaller amps but I eventually switched to the Violectric V281 & V850...- Blackrain

Well I have to say I felt the same in the beginning but after prolong use I stop using the 3F and hence put it for sale and never looked back . I also felt in the beginning that the midrange on the 3F was giving me more. But as I moved up to a better amp the difference became less and less and...- Blackrain

I had both 3F and HEK at the same time for several weeks. After finding the right amp to drive the HEK I ended up selling the 3F( I owned the 3F as my reference for several years). The HEK scaled so much better than the 3F did and the improvements were quite noticeable. May still look in to...- Blackrain

Violectric DAC V850 - General Discussion and Impressions Thread
Actually I like using the mute button on one of my other DAC's. Especially when I have to walk away, answer a phone call, or if someone walks into the room and starts talking to me. I don't have to lower the volume and put it back to my precise preferred listening level each time. I find the...- Blackrain

Violectric DAC V850 - General Discussion and Impressions Thread
Not a real way to confirm the sample rate. However I'm not home right now but I seem to remember that the resample button and the lights with the different resampling rates will not light for certain sample rates if you try to cycle through them all. For example if you are using a 192/24...- Blackrain

My findings are similar on my pair of HE1000. They need lots of drive and reserve to do them justice even to play them at a low level its best to hook them to something that has an over abundance of power. My first amp with them the Burson Virtuoso could not get the bottom end to have slam and...- Blackrain
