Hi guys,
 
I want to multiply the inputs of the EF2 so that i can plug my DAC and CD player at the same time. But how? Any ideas?


Not sure I understand the question.  You can plug in the CD player to the RCA inputs and the computer to the USB input, and then use the button on the front to choose which source to listen to.

Hi,
 
I am using another DAC with the amp.
 
So, basically i need two RCA's. One for my Dacmagic and one for my cd player. Any ideas?
 


Feed the CD player's digital output into the DACmagic, and then hook the DACmagic into the EF2's RCA.

Hi there, this is my first post and I have a question:
 
Would HiFiMan EF2 work fine with ortho headphones such as fostex T50RP?
Thanks
 



Yes, it works just fine with the T50RP.

Source Selector box (DIY or Radio shack has a cheap one).

This one looks even better:

I want to buy one recently. Has the imbalanced problem been solved?
What I found on China BBS said one year ago, 'the chinese version of EF2A changes to the ALPS Potentiometer, which slove the imbalanced problem of sound channe.'
 
Or whether I could replace it by myself?

Indeed, that looks good. It might even do the job too. Cheers

does the EF-2 have enough to power LCD-2's?


It should have enough power - it's been a while since I tried, so I'd have to set up the EF2 again to try this if nobody else can offer feedback on the combo soon.

From my recollection, the EF2 has enough power for the LCD-2 but not the original HE-5 or HE-5 LE.
