I just bought a new one and that sound is loud and annoying. Not liking it at all. Might be going back to a store...

Medium gain worked well for me. Not sure what Bypass mode is. I haven't actually checked, but I believe it's the stock Vivids that are installed.

From what I have read on this forum. Bypass mode bypass the units own volume mechanism and outputs max volume. You control the volume on the DAC or PC.

Some users on this forum have stated the sound signature is different.

I just got this unit, so maybe an experienced user can chime in with details.

Since this is a topic here atm ...

I am a HE1000V2 and Soloist 3XP owner as well and the Soloist 3XP is the best (affortable) amp I was able to find the last 2-3 years (I tried approx. 20 - 30 different amps the last couple of years). For me and my personal taste, this amp just fits perfect to the HE1000V2.
I am using the Soloist without the bypass mode and 4 V6 Vivid OpAmps. I have tried Sparkos ss3602 and the Burson V6 Classics as well, but I prefer the stock V6 Vivids.
Was not asked, but I just prefer top notch measuring DACs like Topping D90SE, Gustard X18 etc with the Soloist 3XP and HE1000V2. Why? Because the Soloist already adds some musicality. I think a smooth, musical and sometimes muddy DAC (like most R2R DACs are for example) is to much for me. But everyone is different and everyone has to make her/his own experience.

Hello,

I bought a used Soloist 3x yesterday and when I turn on or off the unit there is a moderately loud POP sound if my headphone or active speakers are plugged in.
My only temporary solution is to power on the Soloist and then plug my headphones in. When I am finished, unplug the headphones before powering the Soloist off.

Is this normal, or is this device faulty?

Thanks for the help and advice in advance.

well...the output stage is ac coupled...therefore there will be a pop

The Burson amps really need a dedicated button to switch between headphone output to preamp output.
On a side note...my usb fan was too loud so I bought one with a variable control. It comes with rubber feet, but they are not grippy. The fan control is to the right of the dac. Loving the amp other than that. Fan: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092C65F3P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

It has a class A design. You do not need to cool it. It is normal. Maybe just if you have > 30°C in your room, but this is not the case i think?

 

[gr4474]

I did read what you said...but I still want a fan.

I am pretty sure that it is not as much as a GT model

I’m about to try some Op-Amps, Sparkos SS2590 in my Soloist 3XP.

I have removed the 4 hex screws at the bottom, but I can’t seem to open the case.
Do I need to remove some other screw as well?

No. Just 4 screws. Did you just loosen them or remove them completely?

 

[ekjellgren]

I removem them completely.

Lookin more closely at pictures of open units I realized you dont slide the bottom part out like I thought, just lift the top! =)

Does the XLR>RCA adapters come with the Soloist 3XP? I saw an unboxing that showed them in there.
