    HRT music streamer/Matrix M-stage, cables included?

    I have a hrt music streamer and a Matrix M-stage on order. Anyone know if any RCA cables are included with either product?   I'd also be interested in hearing opinions on whether this setup would be a step up from a total bithead for a Q701. Thanks!   Stephen

    DIY RCA-RCA cable for Musiland Monitor 02 us to Matrix M-Stage interconnection

    I just ordered a Matrix M-stage amp for my new Beyerdynamic DT 880 and I'm looking for quality cable and connectors. I'm considering Mogami W2534/Canare Starqad with Canare F10 connectors. Would that be a good interconnection for my setup?

    Matrix M-Stage USB or Regular?

    Hi, so I'll be getting a Matrix M-Stage and I'll be using it on my computer but I'll have 2 choices:   USB: Won't use my audio card   Regular: Will be connected to my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 using a dual RCA cable into the amp.   Which one will get me better results?     ALSO...

    Matrix M-Stage + HD800: Will I be happy?

    Very highly considering upgrading my HD650s to a set of HD800s; however, I'm concerned my M-Stage won't properly power them.   If they will, great.    If not, I have a budget of ~$500 to spend on a dedicated amplifier.   Thoughts?

    Bang-for-buck suggestion request and poll. (K/Q701, DT990, Matrix M-Stage consideration.)

    I'm currently looking for a good place to put around $250 between a couple of potential headphones or an amp.   At the moment I am using a pair of AKG K701s, and a pair of Beyer DT770 Pro 80s depending on what I'm doing/listening to. Have an Essence STX with the headphone amp going through...

    Matrix M-Stage signal strength [dB] with low-Z phones (Denon D2000, ~25 ohm) at 20 Hz

    Hello. I have an unusual request. Could anyone measure the signal output of the M-Stage to a low-Z (16 - 32 ohm, ideally 25 ohm, like the D2000) at 20 Hz? Explanation: I have the D2000 and the Graham Slee NOVO and while the sound is really great, sometimes, when I listen to electronic music like...

    Matrix m-Stage (or Lehmann Black Cube Linear ;o) - gain setting for HD800?

    Hi all,   I've a Matrix m-Stage desktop amp that I've used for a year or so with a pair of HD650s and have found the 18dB gain setting to be the one that prevents me hitting the stop on the volume pot.   I'll soon have a pair of HD800s, which seem to be moderately easier to drive than the...

    Iphone to Matrix M-stage not sounding good: Amp, headphone or DAC?

    I finally purchased a Matrix M-stage to go with my Q-701. I connect my iphone to it via a 3.5mm to RCA, and the sound quality is very dissapointing, not even as good as directly using iphone's headphone jack.  The sound stage is much improved, but the sound is not clear, quite distant, and...

    Matrix M-Stage (USB) Randomish Loud Static

    So I originally ordered the non-usb version of the matrix m-stage, yet a couple of days ago I found out I received the usb version instead and I thought, "bonus". So I used it through USB since I thought "why not?", ever since I've used it via usb I've been getting sometimes seemingly random or...

    What DAC should I get to go with the Matrix M-Stage?

    Hey guys like the title says, I am looking for a DAC that pairs well with the Matrix M-Stage. My budget is preferably under $250. The setup will be paired with the HE-400 and HD600. I am looking for opinions mainly from people who have owned the M-Stage and have paired it with more than one DAC...

    Audio-GD NFB 15.32 vs Matrix M-Stage with HRT Music Streamer II?

    Hey guys. I am wondering what your thoughts are on the Audio-GD NFB 15.32 vs Matrix M-Stage with HRT Music Streamer II? I am looking for the overall best sound quality. I am perfectly fine with having an all-in-one system like the NFB 15.32 or a separate stack like the M-Stage/HRT so I do not...
