Hi,

A friend of mine is using it in his recording studio.
It's fully balanced.

LINK

I have tried it with a Sennheiser HD-600 and a Beyerdynamic DT-880.
Very clean and transparent.
The manufacturer is in the Audio Pro.

how much is it?
i cannot find the price nowhere
Looks like a pro audio gear
Audiophile and pro audio are two different tastes

Maybe this is a very good amp, but....are the headphone jacks on the back of the unit?
I've seen one or two other models that did that too. I find it incredibly stupid.

It should cost something like 600 euro.
And it is definitely a pro audio gear.
I've seen it in use in a recording studio, with satisfaction.

Headphone connectors are indeed in the rear panel, but I have noticed that they are specialized in custom orders, so that you might ask them for front panel placement.

I'm more interested in what headphones are sitting on it in the picture, haha


@ the rear placement of cables, it would really depend on the length of the cable, with something like the stock Grado cable, yeah thats ridiculous, with something like the stock Denon cable (you know, a good ~10 ft), I could understand it, coil the cable up and put it on top of the unit, and not have to look at it all the time

::edit
nevermind, random googling and I found what they were

I happen to own an amp w/ the jack on the rear, it was a DIY gift so although thankful and appreciative I did not say a thing. Although I wish the jack was in the front. It becomes an issue if you have the amp in a shelf system

, I am considering moving it to the front plate. Maybe in the next few weeks.

I wish they would simply use a single 4-pin XLR for balanced headphones.

+1

Would make it much easier to hook up a K1000.

HD 565's are hardly crappy

but yes, 4-pin XLR would be nice for ease of wiring, wouldn't it be relatively simple to just build an adapter though?

Sure, an adapter cable (4-pin XLR -> 2 x 3-pin XLR) can be easily made.
But it would be great, and more practical, if both headphone and amplifier vendors agreed on that 4-pin XLR are the standard.

 

[obobskivich]

but mathis, if they standardized, what about the custom cable vendors selling proprietary adapters?
