It works using coaxial digital out from emu 1212m but do I need to change anything else? Thanks

Congratulations Brian, Enjoy..

I do not think there is anything else you need to do except set the input on RCA and play with Crystallock, narrow and wide to see which you prefer. Of course, the preferred would be Crystallock for its non-upsampling mode with jitter rejection.

Great, thank you

i was wondering if the lavry can drive hd650 directly out of xlr ports if I went that route? is the volume software or hardware dealt?

You have to have those adapters that you can find discussed in the manual and on Lavry's web site, an XLR to RCA adapter.

Check out some of these threads:

thanks, i meant straight to the headphones. my grover xlr to rca ic's are coming in the mail soon so i can tryout my singlepower with it

Lavry quote below from the specific thread that I edited my last message to point you too and the directions are different if you 650s are balanced.

<<
You can take the signal from the XLR pin 2 (or pin 3 if you set the unit to "invert mode"). Pin 1 is your ground return.

You can use an XLR to RCA adapter (XLR female to RCA female). They are made by Netrix, Switchcraft, Hosa, costing around $15 per unit if I recall.

what do you think sufficient burn in time is on the lavry, if any? it sounds good, should be scary when i get to hook up my amp

 

[BrianS]

some things i think im hearing compared to 1212m are :more detail, more soundstage, and more echoes after voices

Yes, The Lavry can definitely drive HD650's from the XLR outs. All you need is a proper 2x female XLR to Senn connector cable, the likes of which are available from Moon Audio, and other fine purveyers of cables 'round here.

The results are quite stunning, and worth the investment in the afore mentioned wires and connectors, at least to these ears. As usual, ymmv.

<edit> btw, and with all due respect to slwiser, he is needlessly quoting the Lavry manual. That reference is for how to drive a single ended (unbalanced) device from the Lavry's balanced outs. In our case, we want balanced output to the Senn's (with proper cable, of course). </edit>

cool, it sounds great already. thanks for the post
