EDIT: actually, i think the unit is fine. When plugged into another amp it's okay... i guess the output of the number cruncher is just too hot for the C&C box amp.

I got one DOA and the seller made a lot of promises but never followed through with any action. I decided to make repairs rather than ship the unit back at my own expense and file a claim. The unit I received had the wrong power supply type and incompatible plug so there's no way they were tested together. |

Is that correct? I think the output is just too hot for my little C&C box headphone amp and the input is clipping. When plugged into my home theater receiver, sounds fine. Damn!! Now what do i do? Keep the entech or keep the headphone amp? Is there anyway i can attenuate the output of the entech without degrading the sound quality? |
