    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    So I have a Lyr 2 and Bifrost Uber combo, but thinking about trying out balanced connections with the Mjolnir. Would the Bifrost be a good companion for the Schiit Mjolnir. I'd rather not upgrade the DAC yet. Granted a concern is the difference sizes--they wont stack up very well.

    I'm using itunes w/ the amarra addon. The files are flac files. I tried again and I guess at 11am its fine but as i continue to listen i find myself turning it up and up.. until i'm around 1-2pm (rock/pop/etc). With classical i keep turning it up until i'm easily at 4-5pm.  Thanks for the inquiry!

    Recently purchased these for home listening. I'm driving these using a Bifrost Uber/Lyr 2 w/ Orange Globe tubes. I find myself having to turn up the knob on high gain to the 3 or 4 o clock position when listening to classical music. I've gone as far as all the way on certain passages. I would...

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    is this along the lines of what you'd expect? the k7XX is around 60ohms.  also when listening to classical music, do you push the knob any higher?

    Beyerdynamic DT-880 250ohm & Lyr 2 headroom

      Hi, yes. I believe so. I removed them and put them in until they could go no further. I believe they are. :/ Will have Schiit look at it..

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    thanks for your help! So i tried my windows laptop, still through USB (dont have optical on me anyway) and here I'm able to adjust all my volume levels. I ensure my system volume as well as my tidal volume were set at 100%, but stil i was able to take the volume knob to past 75%, reaching 100%...

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    So I just checked, and yes indeed my volume does get disabled on my Macbook when i connect to the Bitfrost and/or Hrt Music Streamer via USB. IN any case, on most music i'm fine around the noon to 1pm spot, but with classical i'm able to push it much further past 75% (even during musical peaks)...

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    Am I mistaken to think that the computer volume control is disabled when plugged into a DAC via usb? I'll look into this when I get home. Thanks.

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    Recently obtained a Lyr 2 to drive my Beyerdynamic 250 Ohm headphones, but was really surprised that I had to turn the volume up to 75+% of full on classical pieces. I was expecting considerable more headroom. What if i had the 600ohm cans, for instance? I'm feeding the amp through a DAC...

    Beyerdynamic DT-880 250ohm & Lyr 2 headroom

    I recently got a Lyr 2 to drive my DT-880s but found that to get loud volume on classical pieces I had to turn the volume up to 75% (at times even more). I thought the Lyr 2 would have considerably more headroom for a 250 ohm can. What if it were a 600 ohm? Any ideas? I'm driving these through a...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    how would the alpha primes fit into this? as a natural sounding headphone, according to my understanding, and a closed one at that, would that be a recommendation for someone looking for something akin to or better than the pm-3 for office listening?

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

      thanks! i'll look those up. I really wanted the fostex (as everyone raves about them) but alphas may do nicely. i just dont want to go backwards in term of SQ, esp in terms of clarity. more soundstage would be a nice to have as well as a bit more sparkle in the highs. a little more...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    I've been curious about these, as well as the Fostex TH series but how are these with sound leakage. I'd like to be able to turn up the volume up w/o be a disturbance to those around me..

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    I have the PM-3s, purchased them recently, but for long hours of listening at work I'm finding the small ear cups to be more than a little irritating. I prefer larger sized cups that fully encompass my ears as well as not warm them up so much. This is unfortunate because whereas I like the sound...

    OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program

    Thats interesting, regarding the 'hot treble', in my case I found the exact opposite to be the case. I felt it lacked a bit of sparkle on the treble. I was very satisfied with everything else. I'm actually experimenting with using an EQ to bring the treble up a little bit. To my ears, and in...

    Hi Head-Fiers!   Looking for help with isolating the problem my Xian Sheng 708B has developed. Not knowing very much about the mechanics  involved, I was hoping someone could offer some suggestion on fixing the following problem: When I go to plug my headphone in, I notice the sound (if it...

    Tom's Hardware reviews Dell DJ

    I was curious if since you are using the headphone out to the amp, instead of the line out which the dell dj does not have, are you satisfied with the sound? I ask because i too have a dell dj and have been thinking of getting an amp such as the headroom TAH to run my senns 580s. Do you feel...
