Anyone compared the Listen to the Classic? I was inclined to buy the Classic but now I'm intrigued by these Listen... And the Listen should be way more efficient too.

thanks so I should buy a cable with XLR at one end and RCA at the other end or should the amp have XLR inputs? (to preserve the greater voltage output of the DAC via XLR) thanks in advance

Sorry for the stupid question: if I use XRL to RCA adapters in X10/12 DAC have I still the greater output voltage XLR provides vs. RCA output? Or have I to use XLR cables? 

Sorry for the very stupid question but ... Gustard manufacturer does have a website?

Specs say 400 +400 mW, thus the D14 should be considered rated at 400 mW or 800 mW? What's the max output voltage? 

The NFB-15 is far superior to the O2-Odac from every point of view:   full transistors discrete analogue stage design VS. opamps design; high quality integrated power supply VS. cheap wall adapter power supply; dual WM8741 Wolfson flagship Dac chips VS. single not-flagship ES9023 Sabre...

My price range is around 300$ The SoundMagic HP100 are 32 ohm but are still inefficient for classical. I looked at the Fostex HP-A3, but no mention about the gain. The Maverick is not usb powered. Regarding the Fiio Andes it says 12 dB gain that correspond to a gain of 4: 20*log4=12 dB...

SoundMagic HP100 (see my avatar). They are not very efficient, and more I listen only classical music that, due to its dynamics, is generally low registered. So standard audio gear is insufficient to pump up the volume to satisfactory levels.

I'm looking for a small top quality usb powered dac + headphones amp with gain at least 10 or customizable when ordering the gear. This is to give food to my hungry headphones. Odac combo would have been a good choice if it had usb powering. I hate dealing  with adapters. Any idea?

Not even close to the Sennheiser HD600, these are far superior and definitely in an another league

Just to clarify and correct what Warrax says, my nfb-11.32 with firmware No.3 and driver 1.1 works perfectly in windows 7 at 16/24/32 bit and 44 - 192 Khz, and yes, 32 bits can be selected from the driver control panel and appear in windows 7 audio control panel also. I tested it both with...

I'm thinking to try something different from my Indigo dj (line out), that I'm very satisfied nevertheless. So I'm wondering if an iBasso dac or a Pico dac would be in the same (very high indeed) league. Also with one of these I'd save the cable connecting the indigo with the amp, so I'm...

I've the base version, it's an excellent product. It provides an excellent sound, well detailed with crispy highs, especially if used with an amp.

anyone tried to use foobar kernel streaming or foobar asio and asio4all with this nice device? (to avoid the bad not-audiophile windows kmixer driver and get bit-perfect output)

the k501?? perhaps the hardest can in the world: it needs almost two amps to rise to life (I owned it). I'll go definitely with the 80...

I'm planning to buy the dt 770 for Bach's organ music, for the great deep bass response it requires. I already own the HD600 but I'm not very satisfied with its not so very strong deep bass. So I'm wondering if anyone compared the two versions. I'm oriented on 80 ohm, because the 250 ohm...

that is? rated? continue? max? peak? thanks P.S.: the PCPD is a Fenner, made in Italy, very good.

Hello guys I've found this specification in my new PCDP: headphon output: 18mW typ What's typ? Thanks
