I'm using an Ortofon Red. I have to admit that I don't understand all the numbers. For the Phono-Box, how do calculate the 500 mv output given these specs? Sorry, total newbie here.

Thanks, that's good advice. I didn't realize the Mani had that much output.

Just got the magni today for a vinyl/headphones only set up. I've got Pro-ject Debut -> Pro-ject Phono Box -> Magni 3 Plus -> HD600's. The sound is great, definitely better than my Cambridge Topaz amp, but it's lacking power for Sennheisers. I have to max out the volume on high gain to get to a...

In my experience, no break in necessary. 

Got my h6 gen 2’s a few weeks ago and I love them. If you’re just getting into high quality headphones, the h6 should be your first pair. I say that, because you can use it in every setting: portable, home or office. Of course, you’ll need a decent extension to play from your laptop or stereo. ...

Damn, that was quick. I should be getting mine early next month. I'll check in with a review. 

2nd Gen in black is on sale on Amazon for $313.41: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B45RTSK

For one thing, 1350's are on ear which are generally less comfortable than over ear hp's like the h6. 

2) +1. That was my problem with this amp. I would crank it up on high gain with my hd600's, and right up until the notch pictured below it sounded great, then one more click sounded like ten more clicks.     

I've had my hd600's for a few months now, but the clamping pressure still gets to my jaw after an hour or so. Did you guys do anything special to break them in or just wear them?

Tagging my music is something I don't have time for. Most of the time, I just browse the sd card directly. At least my directories and files are named properly, so everything is where I expect it to be. 

Some notes on the Heron:   -On high gain, with HD600’s, I need to turn it up to around 85-90% to really drive them. I wonder if this amp could handle hp’s with a higher impedance. When using the jack on my Marantz 2220, I usually max out around 50%.  -There’s a surprising spike in volume at a...

You don't really notice how much the D3 improves the sound out of your Macbook, until you've been listening to it for a few months. Now, when I listen straight from the laptop, everything sounds sharp and brittle. Not horrible, but enough to reach for the d3. I didn't have that reaction during...

Interesting, I'm also treble sensitive. I can't even use Grado 325's because of the brightness, but I hadn't noticed that effect from the x5. I will say that the unit sounds very different with different headphones. I'm curious if it's the effect of the amp or the dac. Have you tried playing it...

Got it today. Listening to the new Ty Segall vinyl through hd600's. Impressions later. 

I’m looking for a good headphone for the office.  Top priorities are comfort and non-fatigue. Must be closed and under $300. I mostly listen to indie/garage rock and jazz. I’m not a “basshead”. I like a nice “balanced” sound.  My current office hp is the Sony mdr-7506. Looking for something a...

Dobrescu George, I will try mp3tag. Thanks!   Thanks for all the help guys. Sorry, for derailing with my first gen issues. 

Thanks for your response.  Maybe it's not fair to call these issues "bugs". I've got a nano that handles most of these issues for me, so, I guess it would be more accurate to say it's lacking in features when compared to a 2005 iPod Nano.    1. My ipod nano reads the existing tags properly...

Here's a few: -Some album names appearing in Chinese. -Some albums not transferring from card to media library.  -Clicking volume button rewinds song (intermittent).  -Album artwork not showing -Duplicate songs appearing, though not appearing that way on memory card -Screen hard to read in...

I've owned first gen for less than a month and I'm getting fed up with discovering new UI bugs every time I pick it up, plus the amp is weaker than I expected (my audioengine D3 outperforms it in DAC mode). How much of an upgrade is the gen 2? Are there still a number of UI bugs to deal with? I...

I'm okay with most of the UI quirks in the first gen, but there's one bug that kills me: when the screen is asleep and I try to increase the volume, the player starts the song over (this is intermittent). I'm using firmware 2.5. Maybe 2.6 fixes it? 

Nice. Looks like they're the same price too. 

Wow, that's a beautiful turntable. I like the retro look.
