Yes, I made the adapter myself.

On the XLR4:
pin1 = L+
pin2 = L-
pin3 = R+
pin4 = R-

On the XLR3's
pin1= nothing or shield
pin2 = positive
pin3 = negative

Many thanks!

Made from the same cable that I use on my T1, which was too long for my taste anyway. Great separation vs the normal HA200!

Lookin' good man!

For better performance, I have tried LME49990 & LT1364.
Both did a great job. (I prefer LT1364 more though.)
Give them a try yourself, you will love them.

Where can one buy something like this? Dont really have the skills to build one

Not sure. Audeze had one (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1072804-REG/audeze_b4_3xlr_4_pin_to_dual_3_pin.html ), but it seems to be discontinued.

If you don't want to make it yourself, you could ask Custom Cans or Lavricables to make one for you (if you are in Europe, not sure what modding / cable sellers there are in th US. Peterek?)

Hi
I just bought a Nuforce HA 200 from ebay
I have AKG Q701 64ohm and even if I max volume from both pc and amp the sound while being decently loud is far from ear shattering level. Even my ISDS nano BL gets higher.
Is there is something I should know ?

Yes there is, it only has a non def eatable 10db gain, so it is best used with DAC's that has a "pre-amp" function with a volume control.

 

[Varail]

well..it is connected to the above mentioned ISDS nano BL who has a volume control (although the ISDS nano has no impact on the volume whatsoever while in chain)..Im sorry, Im not an expert on this stuff.
What DAC's < 1k would you recommend for the Nuforce to really step in and take some names ?

Can you seriously hear the different between class AB and pure A? I don't see myself spend even more than $150 (a chinese made brandless) class A amp.

What amp do you use?

If you need more gain, then use the headphone output from the iDSD instead of the lineout. Simple as that. There is no real risk to "double amping" as it were.

If you don't hear the difference, then enjoy what you have and get off the crazy train that we all succumb to. Seriously, this is a money draining hobby where it's easy to get swept up into hype. I've done my fair share of evaluating and reviewing gear, going up into the thousand(s) dollar items. Not just amps, I can hear the difference in dacs, and honestly it's not even enjoyable anymore because I'm too critical of everything.

 

[matti621]

What amp do you use?

A Chinese unbranded amp built around L12-2. It's way underpowered by I can always upgrade it to increase wattage because of the way it's built from modular parts.

Now that was indeed extremely helpful. Now it is loud enough and all is great !
Thank you for your sound advice !

HA-200 owners out there:? this sounds weird and distort with my he-6se, it sound fine with other phones though, I have it fed via jot balanced pre outs
