Headphoneus Supremus
This thing has been out and part of the FOTM club for some time now. For those who have put one in their rigs, did you keep it or move it on? Please give some comments on your decision.

Originally Posted by tim_the_gamer /img/forum/go_quote.gif I've had the 840c now for a year (before it became fotm i guess) and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I use it not only for redbook but I'm also outputting spdif from my computer via a behringer uca202 which feeds the dac inputs on the 840c. My current amp is a RSA HR-2. It added a nice touch of warmth to the sound since switching from a Meier Corda Aria. The only thing I might consider changing in this setup is switching to tubes and/or a balanced amp to take advantage of the 840c's balanced outs. The other thing I am considering is getting the companion integrated amp (840av2) so I can use it in a speaker rig. If anyone is using this complete setup, I'd love to hear your impressions. |
