Hey! I think you may be right! I have Phillips Fidelio X3 that are natively balanced. They don't have a 4,4mm jack, but I have a 2,5mm-4,4mm adapter that fits the jack in the amp. They also have a single-ended cable that terminates into a 3,5mm male (which can be used with the 3,5-4,4mm adapter)...

Here's a picture of it. You think it's at fault?

I usually have the DAC at about 70%, I would say. It only happens when I listen to songs that are heavy on the treble. Do you think it could be the DAC's fault? I'd rather not open the amp up as I wouldn't know what to look for.

So, I noticed a problem with my Topping A50S: when using a 4,4mm-to-3,5mm adapter in the balanced jack, my A50S shuts down with a loud crackling sound at high volume when playing songs dominant in the treble range. I am using it with a FiiO k3 DAC and Beyerdymic DT1990 Pro headphones. Has...

Alright, man!

HI, can you post pictures?

Alright, that makes sense. Thought I haven't experienced clipping with this DAC. Should I get another DAC to get the most out of the A50s?

I recently got the Topping A50s headphone amp, and I must say I am a little confused - it seems as if the volume is slightly lower coming from it than if I plug my headphones directly to my DAC which is a little FiiO K3. I have tried it with my DT-1990, Phillips Fidelio X3's and Koss Porta Pro...

Hi, would you consider shipping to Europe?

I can't get L30 at that price in my location. It goes for around $350 here. But at that point, I am thinking about getting the NFB-11.28. It seems to be the superior unit in that price range. What do you think?

Hello! I recently bought the DT-1990 Pro by Beyerdynamic. They sound great through my little Fiio K3 dac/amp, but I understand that feeding them from a standalone amp would be a huge upgrade. What would be a fitting amp for these cans? Budget: around US $250. Thanks!

Anyone here have experience with both that can chime in on how they compare? When I read the specs, both have quite low impedance, but at the same time are recommended to be used with an amp?

Hey, guys Here to learn more about headphones and stuff. :)
