Who here has had or still has the Benchmark DAC3 HGC headphone amp? I wanted to know how it compares to other high end Headphone amplifiers. I have the Benchmark DAC3 B which was dumb that I didn’t get the HGC for the headphone amp. A lot of people say Benchmark sounds flat. I don’t find...

Anyone know of a good headphone modifier in North America? I don’t need anything crazy done. I know there is custom cans in the UK. But I haven’t seen anyone good here in the US Cheers

There is no shorting of the sound/wires. But I want to avoid that and future possible breaks in the wire. What would be the best way to fix this? My guess would be shrink tubing ? Thanks in advance !

Been about a week with the Ifi Zen Can Sig. I wanted something with a smallish form factor for late night listening with headphones. It’s really good. Measures super well and sounds great. Sounds better and cleaner than my Marantz Headphone amp DAC. the Marantz is a bit bigger sounding but...

I’m looking for a good headphone amp around or under $500 I want it to be clean with low distortion and good S/N ratio. is the zen can good or is the poor crosstalk measurement an issue ? Other suggestions please? Cheers

Has anyone tried these two headphones amps to compare? which one did you like better and why? I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro Much appreciated!

I want to make a headphone cable for my Beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro. Something pretty. I was looking at Performance Audio to do this through. No snake oil cables, just something tried and proven scientifically. And sturdy. Any suggestions on what professional wire to use from Mogami, Canare or...

Ok I tried to keep the title as short as possible. I have my trusty Beyer DT1990pro. Which I love , especially with the mod I did. Takes away excessive brightness , bass is nice and thick a decent soundstage. I just tried the Hfiman XS ( hated it, boxy sounding and fake timbre), the...

Hey everyone silly me I just got an Astel & kern AK HC2 Dongle DAC and it has a 4.4mm female balanced input jack can I get an adapter to use with my Beyerdynamic DT1990pro? what would I need to get if so? much appreciated!

I usually liked the analytical pads the most but recently did a simple mod to my Balanced pads that gets me most of the way of the analytical sound plus a bit more low end and soundstage I tried the Dekoni elite velour pads and they still aren’t nearly as good as the simple silly mod I did to...

Hey fellas, I just got some genuine replacement analytical pads for my Beyer DT1990pro phones. but they are a bit different. first of all in the manual it says the Analytical pads are EDT 1990 A. the new genuine analytic pads are now called EDT 1990 VA. ( don’t know if that makes them...

I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT1990PROs which I like. ive only used the analytical pads because those are the ones I like. they have become quite soft now and got a bit more uncomfortable. is it a good idea to get a pair of new analytical original PADS for them now? im assuming the...

Anyone here have success in changing op amps in their DACs? i want to slightly mod the sound in one of my DACs since it is too smooth and doesnt have enough weight to instruments. is this possible to do swapping op amps or caps in a DAC? thanks in advance
