No. Never.
How sensitive your headphones are?

 

[Blackbriar0216]

I am using Verite Closed. 99 dB SPL/mW

Its only noticeable when song is paused.

You don't need high gain on the Verité. Medium is more than enough.

 

[Blackbriar0216]

Thank you. I will stick to medium gain only. Still was wondering that slight hiss is normal or not.

I think, for some more sensitive headphones high gain is just too much. I did experience hiss in high gain with my LCD-X, but not with other headphones.

That makes sense.

My Burson Soloist 3x doesn’t run HOT anymore, it’s just warm.

Could it have something to do with running the amp in Headphone Power Amp mode?

I actually put mine on a cooler master laptop pad and it runs nice and warm now. The Burson Soloist ran at 55-56c on my wooden desk and now it’s 46-47c on the cooler master notepad x-slim with the fan off and 37c with the fan on. The pad is essential a large heatsink and should help extend the life of the unit.

I get some noise on iem's. There is a lot of gain in the Burson. On low gain there is no noise at all with them. So yeah it's normal but I guess at how much gain they have you can't avoid it. That said there is no distortion even at high gain.

Mine is hot. I have the stand to keep it sideways and I find that better. Also nothing resting on it too.

How hot does everyone's soloist 3x get? Mine gets very hot to touch. Feels like a hot seatbelt in the summer.

Mine gets hot too. I bought the stand to keep it sideways. Seems to be better now though.

Have anyone got Verite Closed using with Burson Soloist 3xp ? What are your thoughts ? Compared burson Soloist 3xp - VC combo with Sparkos aries amp -VC or any other amp combination ? I am still burining in my VC. Does it change much in sound after 200 hrs recommended burn-in period by Zach ?

Depends on your preferences. I think it pairs nicely with ZMF headphones but it can be a bit too much of a good thing imo (mainly in the bass and mids) for some. I've heard great things b/w the sparkos aries amp paired w/ VC but you are paying more than double the price vs a Soloist. So if you are deciding b/w Soloist and Aries I'd probably go with the Aries. But if you are on a budget then getting the Soloist wouldn't be a bad option. If you think the pairing is a bit too much then I would swap the opamps for Sparkos opamps or Staccato opamps for a more neutral tuning. So, depends what you are after.

And, yes, it does get better after burn-in in my experience.

 

[Blackbriar0216]

Yeah i found the same experience as yours. I am using universal pad and black dragon cable with it at the moment and find tonality bit thick than i am used to it. I want a bit airy presentation. Probably swapping pads to verite pads or using silver dragon cable may help?
