oh okay, i think i will try it tommorow hope it will work

thanks for the help!

Here is a close up of which color wire is which on the stock Q701 cables. As long as you hook it up like this to an amp that doesn't care if only one ground is hooked up it will work. Be extremely careful with the volume knob. Start with the volume all the way down and remember that you won't have much range on the knob, so turn very slowly. It will work and it should sound great, at the very worst there will be some slight hiss.

I wouldn't necessarily want to try that with a tube amp...

Contact the manufacturer of your amp to see if OK.

my amp can work with one channel only...

its kinda old amp (from 1999) and its onkyo so its not really an option
welcome to head-fi 

 
 
anyway the cable is ready and all i need to do is plug the cable to the speakers amp, so the next comment is or that my Q701 got *** or that i got "new" amp for my 701

 

[headphones1999]

okayyyyyy my Q701 didnt got ***  
 
i was needed to use the balance knob for the headphones but besides this everything works perfectly (there is no hiss)
 
im not really sure about the difference between the headphones output to the speakers output, the main thing i noticed is that i need turn on the volume so Q701 will sound good :/
maybe the speakers output makes the highs smoother...
anyway right now i dont really care whats the difference (as long as i like what i hear

)
 
 
thanks for the help jasonb!

one of the best HD800 setup i ever saw, you really need vinyl though, and then it will be perfect

 
what is this micntosh thing on the left side (looks like computer speakers)

 

[MickeyVee]

Yup, I have the MXA70 System which is basically an MHA100 with the matching McIntosh speakers, just marketed differently. I also have a Paradigm Sub under my desk hooked up to it so best of both worlds, headphone and speaker system in my office.  Since it's on my desk, probably won't be doing vinyl.

Very nice setup for the hd800! Plus that's quite a cordless phone/answering machine combo you've got yourself.

PC (fidelizer pro) -> iusb -> idsd -> sun audio 2a3 with black gate mods -> appj adapter -> hd800 (Dat bass though)

It basically allows me to use my headphones with my speaker amp sorta like the ER4S / ER4P adapter.

So similar to what the Hifiman adapter is like.

Any reason why you chose the appj instead of this?
