  oh good but do you think the balanced input could be better than the unbalanced one?
 
I'll use it with cable to amp near tens of power cable and usb cable behind the pc...
What do you think?


Given my background in Pro Audio I always prefer XLR connections out of habit. I don't think RCA is a problem given the short distance you'll be using on your desk. I have a lot of components (amps, DACs) on my desk with lots of cables, RCA is still not a problem. If in doubt you can try to avoid running power and RCA cables in parallel or at least separate them a bit.
 
If you're getting the G103 I'd vote for the RCA ('S') version, its more versatile in a home setting. Its also easier and cheaper to get adaptor cables to RCA. If you get the G109 I'd recommend the P version as it offers both XLR and RCA inputs (though unfortunately no input selection switch).

thanks for the suggest but I've found a friend who can sell me it at about 150 Euros the g130p version. The adapter is not difficult to build. So I think I could accept. What do you think?

Sounds like a good price... The adapters are rather simple (and Thomann.de has them on offer for reasonable prices as well), so I don't see any problem there. Using the adapters you will of course not gain anything by using the XLR inputs, but I don't think you'll run into problems at desktop cable lengths anyway.

good! :wink:

It's the same thing I've thougth...:wink:
 
 
anyway I'll use it with a teac ud-h01 (for 200€) or a ud-301 (for 300€)...so no problem with the xlr outputs.
 
What DAC would you suggest me between them?

I know neither, sorry... Personally I don't care about high-res or DSD, so I guess I'd go with the UD-H01. But I guess you'll find owners of both round here.

hey guys but how can I change gain in the g103p?
 
Where are the jumper?
 
Are they sold separately?

I've already seen it, but there are 4 combination of positioning the jumpers.Is it easy to recognize the choosen gain?

The jumpers are set upon opening the case. Default value is set to +8
 
Check page 23 for where and how to change the jumpers. There are 4 jumpers - you change these according to what value you want to use.

Yup a great pairing for sure. For Christmas I received a pair of Focus pads for my HE500's. Listening to them through the 109S right now...warmer sounding than the pleather pads, not quite as broad of a soundstage but the bass is much more pronounced.

that exactly what i don't want
