Any opinions of how this sounds with the Orthos and how much power it outputs at 40ohms?
I' ll give you a clue next week, when I expect to receive my dac-1 and pair it with my HE 500s ...
Before I made up my mind, I heard the HFM with quality amps, under the 1000mw/32ohm wattage and I understood that the job can be done pretty well.. up to now I had the Audio-gd nfb-11 (rated about 2w/38ohms) ...
My listening tests have been brief and not scientific but my belief is my experience of my 1st and 2nd unit mirrors your own, except the hum on the 2nd unit seems a little less at all gain settings. I've now established the residual RF issue is my iphone 4s that cannot be hard reset (lock button busted). Once I have settled on a new source (I hear the front usb/idevice input as more detailed/more treble than the conventional rear usb) then I think I will be very happy with this unit...
Anyone running the HD-DAC1 with the Sony MDR-Z7?
My HD-DAC1 will be here in a week and I'm going to be using it with the Sony's.
Just got mine in tonight! What settings are you using for JRiver? Couldn't make DSD work even though used similar settings to what I used on an iFi iDSD Micro. Using a DoP setting and getting sound, but not sure it's the right way.
Has anyone used the HD-DAC1 while watching movies on an iPad. It seems like the audio and video are ever so slightly out of sync. I haven't had this issue with other icompatible dac/amps. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks
