Just for fun today I paired the original X3 with the HA-2 and T51P's. I had nearly forgotten what a great line out the X3 classic has + I wanted to see how just the amp sounded in the Oppo. Conclusion - outstanding.

My ha-2 arrived two days ago,and first impression is very good.I`m not an audiophil technic guy,so not very good at describing sound.But i feel that the oppo gives the power that the headphones needs to open themself.Gives life to the music. So very glad i bought this amp/dac.I also think that my audio technica ath msr7,wich is known to be a little on the bright side,got a littlebit warmer soundind

Glad to hear it's a good pairing. I was interested in the MSR7, was concerned it was too bright.

Can you try out the HA-2's bass boost and let us know if it has any effect on the mids and treble?

I'm listening to this combo right now and the bass boost doesn't seem to change the mids or highs much if at all, I don't think bass boost is really needed on the MSR7s though because the bass is already pretty good in my opinion.

How do these stack up against the Chord Mojo? Right now im torn between the two.

Ok, thank you.

Tried the bass boost, but didnt like the sound.it sounds to warm and bassy .The msr7 have an very clean,tight,punchy and realistic bass.the headphones sounds a little cold and Bright.But the ha-2 helped the msr7 to sound a little warmer.

Yes, in my opinion, using the HD800, which many people would say is lacking in bass, but which I find to be almost perfectly neutral except for a bit of a 7kHz spike, I find the HA-2's Bass+ feature to reach too far up into the low mids.  I think the Bass+ could have done wonders for the HD800 if it had stayed clear of the mids or even if it was just less aggressive overall.

I like the bass boost for some headphones, but I use it very sparingly.

Can anyone compare the noise floor and general sound to the V-moda vamp verza?

There's definitely some hiss from my vamp on my Dunu Dn-2kj because they're only 8ohms.

What should the volume be on an ipod touch or mobile,when using them with ha-2 for best sound? On max volume? Or a little lower?

I keep mine one on max and about 2 on 3 on HA-2 depending what headphones i'm using.

 

[lltfdaniel]

Pulled the trigger on these as well.

The rule of thumb I've always heard is to have the max volume on the source device, then just tweak the dac/amp accordingly for the best results.
