    I just accidentally plugged a single ended cable into a balanced port what the odds I damaged my amp?

    Long story short I wasn't paying attention and plugged a single ended cable into the 3.5mm to 4.4mm adapter I used with my Zen Can. I noticed when I was only getting audio out of the right ear piece and it sounded like crap. What are the odds I've damage the amp? It seems to be working fine but...

    Recommendation for AMP (and DAC?) for Beyer DT990 Pro (250 ohm) and DT770 (80 ohm) ?

    I've had beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 ohm) for a long time but I wanted to try an open-back so I also purchased DT990 Pro (250 ohm). I really like the DT990 and I think I might prefer open-back, but the high-pitch treble is a bit noticeable. Still, I got a great deal on the limited edition...

    Connecting a Graphic EQ to a DAC and AMP.

    I was just wondering if plugging in a graphic EQ like this here: https://www.amazon.com.au/FBQ800-BEHRINGER-MINIFBQ/dp/B000MJ406Y#customerReviews Would give me a little more control over my audio, specifically for my headphone experience. I'm told that the best configuration is DAC > EQ> AMP...

    Alternative to the SBX's software?

    The main reason I'm troubled between the X7 and other AMP/DAC is that it has an unique software(SBX commander) that gives optimized audio for a variety of games(PUBG, Scout Mode, Overwatch, APEX... etc.). Is there a way to do the same while using other AMP/DAC products?

    Universal budget DAC\AMP combo device (under 150-200$)

    Now I have SoundBlasterX G6 and AKG K712 PRO. Most of simple genres sound good enough on this combo but metal ones like metalcore and posthardcore sound quite bad for me. The vocals are kinda on the background and mids sound messy. By now I found two DAC\Amps that I like: used Oppo HA-2(or SE)...

    Best DAC/AMP for two Fidelio X2HR's connected at the same time via splitter?

    I have two Fidelio X2HR's connected to a computer via a splitter (3.5mm), but even at 100% volume, is too quiet; even with only one X2HR connected. Only having one connected, makes it a bit louder (about 5-8% louder), but still too low. Tried with 3 other desktop pc's too. So I need an amp or...
