Epic battle incoming!
It's normal that i hear hum on high gain?
I'm little disappointed about that...

I would think you have a ground loop problem. More than likely are you using the single-ended cables, not balanced . Troubleshoot this by trying different power strips or unplugging different components that are plugged in but not running as part of the system.

Another trick is to lift the ground on the power cord. Odd that this amp would have this issue.

My whole setup is fully balanced.

As is mine. I am using Sennheiser HD800s

 

[vonBaron]

And i never had ground loop problem.
Like i said my Pro ICan is dead silent.

What power cord do you recommend using with GS-X mini?

 

[Tjkoch1999]

I have a PS Audio Power Station 3 and a PS audio PerfectWave cable AC-3 for the GSX Mini and the Benchmark DAC3 L

Thanks
I now use Furutech FP-314Ag-II with golden plugs and I'm curious is even worth pay more for better AC cord.

I am wondering if anyone can lend their personal experience to my "problem". I have a Hifiman Arya, and I love the thing. It is my endgame headphone, for sure. As I DAC, I am using the Bifrost 2, and I am quite satisfied with it. My amp is the Gilmore Lite mk2. Like every other mk2 owner, I am waiting (im)patiently for the new power supply to be released, and then to let that be my endgame setup. There is still this nagging voice in my head that says I should save up, ignore the power supply and get the GS-X mini instead. Does anyone here have experience with the Arya and the mk2 and mini? I welcome anyone's input!

Great synergy!
BTW Anyone compares Bryston BHA-1 to GS-X mini?

I too am curious how these 3 compare each other. Additionally to Hugo 2 as well

Question for those of you using a Chord Qutest with the GSX-Mini — do you use the Qutest on 2 or 3 volts?
