Can I connect xlr to one amp and rca to the other amp at the same time if I only turn on one amp at a time? I am also wondering what would happen if I turn on both amp in this case. Do one connector have a priority?

thank you for your input. I don't want to control volume via Hugo just set it and forget it.

I use my Hugo2 paired with Sugden A21SE integrated amp to drive Harbeth P3esr. Amp's spec is below. ******************************** Line Input Sensitivity 110mV @ zero attenuation for full output Power Output 30 Watts into 8 Ohms both channels working...

Looking for an amp to pair with Voce, BHSE or Z10e? Any comments would be appreciated.

Are there 2 versions of V281, upgraded and standard? AFAIK, there is only one.

Mine is the new revision with 4.4 trrs cable. No gap like yours.

Thank you. That's interesting. I'm eyeing on phonitor xe or v281 for my HD800S/Hugo2. I'm fine with this combo in term of treble just looking for amp to improve it.

Do you mean phonitor/hd800s combination sounds too bright? Which Dac do you use with this?

Anybody has a problem that HDV 820's built-in dac cannot play dxd files on OSX? In fact it can play songs but with hiss. The albums I tried are Wild Man Blues (Plays Louis Armstrong) and Carmen Gomes Don't You Cry. Both are 24/352.8.

What is the different sound-wise between verite and s3 cable in you opinion?

Anybody has ZMF Verite with Norne Draug3 or Silvergarde S3? How do you prefer this combination?

Do you mind sharing the sound signature between both? From what I read I’m afraid that Auteur would be too similar to my HD800s But I might be wrong. The sound signature I’m after is like 64audio U12t or Noble Encore with a bit smoother treble.

HDV 820, Hugo2 and maybe V280 or WA22 in the near future. Sorry, it's Aeon Flow Open not Ether 2. I'm a novice, cannot explain how warm AFO is.

I'm choosing Vérité or Auteur to compliment my HD800S. I prefer different sound signature from HD800s but not as warm as Ether 2. HD800s for jazz and classical and the new one for the rest except rock/heavy metal. Audition is not possible where I live. Which one do you recommend?

double post.

You mean no need for XLR in this case?

I mean 3.5mm SE output from SP1000

I'm going to connect my AK SP1000 to V281 to drive my HD800s. Anybody knows if there is a difference sound-wise between 3.5SE to RCA and 3.5SE to XLR cable?

Mine. m062xxx bought last month from e-earphones.

Thanks a lot.

I'm using Hiby R3 and Mojo.

Thank you everyone. My idea of upgrade cable is partly because I don't like the supplied cable. It is a bit too long and not flexible enough for me.

I am looking for a cable for my AFO that make it sound a bit brighter with better treble extension. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

My mojo + R3 combo causes a clicking/pop noise when changing tracks. The noise is more pronounced with DSD files. The cable I use is Fiio CL-06, USB C to micro B OTG. I'm curious if Hiby USB C to Coax cable would cause the same issue. Anyone has this issue? Any solutions?
