I've got everything running except the headphones. I've had the amp (little dot mk iii) plugged in for about 4 hours and am using a buddies HD600s until my 650s arrive...even though the amp isn't properly burned-in...The sound is just incredible, i'm using my iphone and apple lossless files as...

I have a Little Dot MK VII which I bought from Worldwide Chinese Headphone Amplifier Dealer, who are an authorised retailer. I believe I read somewhere that only 1/4" out is active when using input 2 (RCA in). I hadn't done any direct comparisons between balanced and unbalanced input until...

To celebrate my 3rd year anniversary on this wonderful site, I decided to get myself a little gift. I have always wondered about the balanced world. Everything I read in reference to balanced was positive, in particular with the HD650s. The main problem for me was in the investment, (source...

At the moment, I am using my dell inspiron laptop connected via USB to spdif converter to the internal DAC on my Marantz SR-4300 AV Receiver. I suppose this sounds decent enough having never heard a dedicated headphone amp, but lately have been thinking if things would sound a lot better through...

Hi everyone I had a chance to listen to this amp a few days ago at an audio meet. The amp has a speaker and headphone output. I listened to the headphone output with my HD600's and I was really just stunned at how good the headphone output sounded, I havn't heard many tube amps, I mainly have...

I just bought my littledot mkll and I was wondering which were the best settings for my AKG K702's?   a. fit for high impedance or low sensitivity headphones b. fit for medium impedance or low sensitivity headphones c. fit for low impedance or high sensitive headphones D. fit for low...

Guys,   I am looking for an upgrade to my laptop set up. I am currently only using an uDac as a dac/amp combo to drive my MS1i. Here are two options I have considered:   The first option: Audio-gd FUN or Sparrow (basic versions). They are clearly a step up from my uDac. What I am not...

I'm currently using HD555's but I'm going to be upgrading to HD650's and I'm in the process of possibly buying a LD MKIVSE from a member here on Head-Fi. I wanted your opinion on whether this amp will be a good fit with the HD650's and also whether I should be looking into other amps at this...

Hello All, What do I gain from switching the stock driver tubes out with Mullard 8100s for the Little dot Mk III? Will I get better sound staging and clearer imaging, or is that from the power tubes?

Hi all-- Thanks to all who have helped me get sucked into this fascinating microcosm of hi fi for one. Here's where I stand: I've got my Denon DVD-2800 DVD-A/SACD/CD feeding into a Little Dot Mk IV SE amp which is connected to my ears by a pair of V3 Darth Beyers. Yes, I love everything I'm...

Hey y'all, this is my first post. I found an ebay listing for what looks like an earmax clone here: PHENIX G3 Tube Headphone Amplifier - eBay (item 290367642898 end time Dec-06-09 22:51:06 PST) After searching the forum and google I can't really find much info on the Phenix G3 other than a...

Would like an Amp/DAC combo (for simplicity's sake) if reasonably possible whilst maintaining the most quality for my budget. Budget is ~$200 for something used (I know, it isn't much).   Looking at the Firestone Audio Fubar III. Possibly a used Matrix M Stage + cheap DAC? What are the...

I was listening to music and my Little Dot I+ just flat out 'shut off' (first time its ever happened). Wouldn't turn on. I just unplugged it from the power strip, and plugged it back in. I also notice that sometimes it just 'doesnt turn on' and then i'll unplug it from the power strip/wall  and...

Hello Head-Fiers. Currently, my setup is uDAC>HD 555, but I'm looking for an upgrade. My main music tastes are ska, acoustic, pop-punk, and classical. A few weeks ago, I started looking in to what could be my next setup. I wanted a balanced phone with a large soundstage, and that also lets the...

Those of you guys that did this what kind of difference was there?  Significant?  Worth while?   I've got the xonar on extra high gain setting pushing a pair of DT990 pro's 250 ohm.  The sound is pretty good, but I feel it could use a bit more zest.  a bit more shizazz if you know what I...

Hi all I have a pair of Senn HD650 that I love. I have tried a quality SS amp that clearly did so much right but it did not involve me or give me the sweet sound I enjoy. The solid state amp was a Talisman. I find the little Dot MKIII a far less accomplished amp but I prefer it for the...

Hi all,   My current setup is using the Maverick D1 as a DAC and pre-amp out to my Little Dot I+.  With the D1, I want to use the switch to bypass the potentiometer, but when I do that, the LD potentiometer needs to be set very low.  The problem is that when the LD volume is set so low, the...

How you doing Guys :-)   I am after an amp to power some HD600 if necessary. I do not have £500-1000 to spend. I am UK based and thus far i have shortened my list down to 2 candidates.   Little Dot MKiii Creeks obh21   They are within my budget. I must stress these will be for...

I no longer see them offered.

i can buy used go-vibe v6 and will cost me less than Ibasso T3 , wish one is better to driven my RE0 and mybe in the future some bass ime's like monster turbine ..   wish one should i buy?

I was wondering which of these is best paired with my Sennheiser HD600? I know both of them are currently back ordered so I will have to wait but has anyone heard both of these as they are approximately the same price and have both been reported to pair well with the Senn line-up. Any help is...

Does anyone know the correct jumper settings for the MKVII+ for the Low and High outputs. I am assuming the the units ship with the Low setting by default?

Currently i have a LD DAC1 + MKV combo and i was thinking about getting a MKIII or MKIV also..( to try out the tube sound)   but  the more i read about the MKVII+ the more i want to get it...     if i get a MKVII+ and sell the MKV now , i will not be able to get a MKIII or IV now...

Hey all,   I just yesterday took ownership of a LD MKIV SE, bought direct from David@little-tube.   Unpacked it and noticed the volume knob was very loose, but have learnt a 1.5mm allen will fix that.   But sadly I am having an issue where the left channel starts buzzing.  It usually...
