What ways would everyone recommend connecting a D2 to the Mini-X? Is RCA -> RCA pretty much as good as any?

That's the only way..
I'll eventually go through it all and link everyone's reports on the subject on the first post and organize it once most of the headphones and gear I have access to have been tested more extensively.
Mal,
Have you tried your MadDogs with the Mini-X yet?
Heya,
Yea, but like the HE400, they're quite efficient, too low impedance with a high sensitivity for a speaker amp to me. But, with the 500ohm impedance adapter I had made, that's no problem, just like my D5000. The Mad Dog sounds fantastic on the Emotiva though. Much like the D5000, but more neutral, and with better mids and better low end control (separation, speed, sound stage are excellent).
Very best,
Would you say all these headphones you've tested with the Emotiva still perform in their relative order of performance levels on your pre-speaker-amp setups? Or did particular headphones jump up/down that ranking ladder with the speaker amp?
I never found an LCD2 to be that much more insensitive than an HE-400. If the HE-400 was at 9 o'clock on my Magni, then LCD2 was at 9:30. If HE-400 was at 10 o'clock, then LCD2 was at 10:30, and so on so forth.
Nor is HE500 (to HE400) really, in terms of sensitivity. There seems to be a larger gap in their power-handling abilities / scaling though.
