Thanks James, I'll do so! One further detail: I assume the BHA xlr pre out work with both xlr and rca inputs, am I right? Should this setup work?: SACD player - rca - BHA1 - xlr out (with the correct wired cable) - rca - power amp. Many thanks again!

Hi

Yes the XLR part of the cable has to be wired a specific way.

Email Mike at Bryston and he can send you a drawing or you can order the cable from us.

And damn! For that price I'd have bought it just to be able to compare it to my V281.

as a new bryston owner I am very pleased with the bha-1 with my focal elears and my senn 600. I have a question about the gain switch. both of these headphones are quite different in there impedence but both sound better with the hi gain on. with low gain sounds very guiet and a little veiled. am I doing something wrong here? I thought it would be hi gain for the 80 ohm elears and low gain for the 300ohm senn 600s

Yes you are doing something wrong. High gain for the 300 ohm 600s and low for the Elear. There should be no difference sonically between the two settings as far as I am aware. Actually, you should not need high gain for either of those phones. I use high gain only on my 600ohm Beyer T1.2.

Nordkapp, thanks for the advice. First amp with a gain setting. I moved my setup around today and now it sounds way better with the elears on low gain. Not sure what i did differnt but now its sounds fantastic.

Great! Higher the ohm impedance value/lower the sensitivity=harder to drive=need for more gain....
