Running Coax -> Balanced -> Balanced with HP-3 and Senn 6xx. A definite improvement over the dual 4497 in my DAP, but only about 20 hours in so hard to tell overall. Sarah Jurosz 'House of Mercy' is my best experience so far in one of the better rooms in Nashville, with absolutely magical...

V1 6922/6DJ8 V2 ECC99 or 6N6P . There is a whole gory dev thread here.

You mean, like this? I was involved in Bijou both in prototyping and refining. Another curiosity was I built the original Liquid Gold proto board which we took to the Chicago CanJam but was rendered inoperable sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning. No input how these sound with...

Does anyone have good pics with the cover off? Alex (if you still read this thread) - I gather there is not enough real estate for the akm4499, but is there a path to switch out the 4493 for a 4497? Hoping this is on a daughter board, and yes I cannot wait to void that warranty... ;-)

New to the m11, so I have a question - have a few thousand files on my SSD but nothing on the internal storage - how do I move the SSD stored files to the internal storage? And the Samsung driver does not allow me to connect to the PC - the driver installed, and I can see the m11, just cannot...

Well, I have always been more interested in hearing the bass clearly for transcribing bass than the feel/impact. What I cannot stand is muddy/tubby bass, which was always more a function of the amp than the phones. Honestly, I am not good at describing phone deltas, but the HP-3 has more energy...

Well... I did spring for the walnut HP-3, and really pleased. I was running DROP HD6xx balanced through a DROP Cavalli LCX/SDC, but find that balanced is NOT needed fdor the HP-3. I may well explore a balanced cable later, but the output gain just is not needed, unlike the HD6xx (or other...

I plunked on a walnut pair from Italy, so.... now if delivery doesn't get tangled up.

Heads up - on sale for $699 https://www.adorama.com/kphp3oehdphe.html?emailprice=t&sterm=0TiymIWZ7xyJWFGwUx0Mo3Y3Uki25fUFIwhcRQ0&utm_source=rflaid912772

Long time fan of Heresy and La Scalas, having had both, and driven with McIntosh. I understand they are low impedence, but has anyone driven them balanced, and noticed any benefit? I also understand any aftermarket balanced cable is SPC, so the better wire would also be an improvement (IMHO)...

I have been looking for some, and can't find them anywhere except Italy - hence why another posted queried if they were discontinued. Might this have something to do with the Klipsch sale, and potential low volume / margin on these phones? Also looking for walnut, but not a total deal breaker.
