Briefly, and I mean briefly at a meet with a recabled (balanced) dt990 600ohm. It was a pretty amazing closer for the last two minutes of the meet. Sorry, I can't really be any more help.

Thanks! I Have a pair of these thats why asked !

Just curious about build months on the HA-1. What is your build month (label on rear panel right side)???

Has anybody tested this with any 600ohm phones ?

Beyerdynamic DT880 (balanced).... Best I've heard them sound.

+1 sweet. I need to get my DT 880's recable to balanced and see how the Ragnarok runs them.

Can you guys share the balanced re-cabling details (who/where)?  I have a DT880 600 ohm and would like to do it.

I am still looking for that information, too. Will let you know when I get a definitive answer.

Sorry if this is old news but I remember reading some time ago about there being some firmware updates for the Oppo HA-1. Is there a big difference between the firmwares? Do they change the sound? Or does it even matter?

No the firmware only fixed little insignificant things like a misspelling on the screen. It did not affect sound quality and I don't think they even offered a way to upgrade the firmware anyway

I did it myself but I am sure there are guys closer that are happy to do it for you... Moon Audio do it but for cost you are better learning yourself.

If you want to go that route? There are loads of threads and tutorials on Head-Fi regarding balancing cables.

This might be a really dumb question but could I have 2 headphones plugged into this at the same time, one using balanced XLR and the other using standard single ended, and then switch between them whenever I want?

Nope.

 

[legomyego1010]

Nope.

Damn. Do you know of anything that can do this?

From my experience, plugging in the single ended plug mutes the balanced cable output, so, you do have to manually uplug the single ended to switch.
What i do, that probably wouldn't apply to most is: I have my pm-1 connected to the balanced cable and also have a Senn RS 220 Wireless cans connected to both the rear analog out and also the optical out of the HA-1 into the RS 22O's and that gives me the only seamless switching that I could think of. But to my knowledge, plugging into the single ended output mutes all other outputs. Hope that answers your question.

Cheers

I beleive the Ray Samuels 'Apache' has this feature between balanced and SE, but it's almost 3x the cost.
