I finally got my Aeon Flows.
Great headphone. I have been running them fine on the A 100 I have a XDA-2 feeding the A 100. The flows actually need some power to sound good. So My XDA2 is at -10 and the volume knob on the A 100 is at 1 o clock. sounds pretty good and nothing blew up!!!

Lol this is good to know. I'm going to use my R2R-11 in variable mode to feed the Emotiva when it comes in Monday.

I have the Emo Bass x A-100 coming today. Going to try it out with PC, Jitterbug, Topping D30, Emo, HP's, Alpair 10p/Pensils. I've tried the Magni (first gen), Vali 2, Fulla 2.

Hey guys, this definitely has my interest piqued. I'm considering getting one to stack with my Crack to switch between tubes/SS - sounds like it'd be a good match with my HE-5's.

Question - are the RCA-outs a pass-through or is it a variable pre-out? Was thinking I could run my DAC into the A100 and straight back out to the Crack. If it isn't, perhaps a Schiit SYS could be an easy way to switch between the two, as well as attenuating volume upstream from the Emotiva if I decide to add the jumpers.

It's a full scale passthrough. It is not volume attenuated. So yes adding a Schiit Sys would be an easy way to switch. If you have a DAC with volume control upstream you can use that to control the volume instead of the Sys. When you add in the jumpers should have some sort of control upstream so you can use the mini-x as a power amp essentially. You could also get Emotiva's control freak. I've tried it and honestly didn't care for the weight or feel of it. It was too light weight and the knob was too easy to move. But it does do the job.

OK gotcha - thanks for clarifying. I might just turn the volume waaaay down on my Mojo rather than setting it to line-out.

Damn, I couldn't resist giving this thing a try for my HE1000's. Also got a Schiit Saga to serve as a preamp where I plan on controlling volume after the jumpers go in. Going to use my idsd black label as DAC for now.

My Emo arrived and it's going back. The outputs to speakers are reversed. The HP section is correct. (left-Right).

 

[m usicguy]

before you send your amp back. I can understand wanting the right speak and left speaker cable not over lapping. If this is why you don't like the way its set up. Just reverse you inputs. Amp only knows whats input to the left goes to the left side of the amp. Right to right.

I will say this, To use the jumpers the amp prefers higher impedance headphones. MY AEON flows 16 ohms, don't like the jumpers installed. I went back to the resistors and its much better. Withe my other headphones no problem and great power. Like 47 ohm and higher.

You are thinking it's defective or something? It's not. Just reverse the speakers cables unless it's some kind of aesthetic thing for you that you can't stand.

 

[garbulky]

It should look like this. If it does then you have the correct amp.

 

[iamjaymo]

Though not technically “defective” the speaker terminals aren’t suppose to he reversed. I get why you’d want to return it.

Have them fix it and sent it back to you. It’s frustrating but still a good amp.

EDIT: Maybe I mis-understand...is it wired wrong (reversed) internally or written wrong on the back?
