Haha. I mainly go there to check something I’m interested in because it seems to have the most information on source gear and advises if any device has any sort of functionality issues claimed by users. I’d normally get this info from HeadFi first but there isn’t a thread on the E30.
I like numbers but I will try out and hear any AMP or DAC. If they sound great numbers to me really do not matter. I have heard both sides to the DAC I just got the Airist Audio R-2R DAC. The number guys hated it but the audio guys liked it. The few you tube reviews on it they liked it.
I've avoided this thread for a long time now but I own a Monoprice THX AAA and I have to say it is a fantastic amp. I owned the Bryston BHA-1 and sold it to a member here at Head-Fi....This is as good, sonically, without a doubt. As good and for a fraction of the price.
I just purchased the 789 hoping to mate it directly to my phono preamp to replace using the headphone jack on the front of my AV Preamp Processor. Hoping for better sound quality and volume. Has anyone one done this?
Realize that the THX AAA 789 is not balanced I/O so a balanced DAC makes little difference. I use the Drop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC with the 789 and am very happy with the combo.
So, this may have been answered already, but I plan on getting a hd800 and currently have a pair of ether flow 1.1 open. Would the 789 be my best pick for my eventual hd800 or perhaps something like the monolith liquid platinum?
The 789 is not bad at all, I have heard the benchmark HPA4 is just that little bit better, but it's many times the price. I'm happy with 789 for an end game solid state amp
is the 6watt output constaint in balanced mode for the DROP + THX AAA™ 789 LINEAR AMPLIFIER or is it less at lower gains to anyone who know what the power level output is at Gain: 0.66x , 2.0x i want to give my m570 cans sound good power an sound
but not blow them out i plan to put a Peavey PV215EQ Graphic Equalizer between it an my DROP + GRACE DESIGN STANDARD DAC BALANCED i really hate pc software eq's
just never quite right an can i add the amp an dac to the cart at the same time
Just to be sure, if I use balanced between the modius and 789 I should only use balanced XLR headphone cable right?
I wouldn't be able to use the SE inputs?
