Someone correct me if I am wrong with the following ...
If you have low impedence, easy to drive Canalphones/headphones,
then you can still obtain a decent sound amplification from a
SuperMacro configuration with minimum caps of 2000uF.
I have the SM v1.0, with the minimum caps of 2000uF and my
ETY ER4P's sound very filled in, even my ATH-A900's bass rumbles
and my SM v1.0 has enough power to rumble my A900's (but both
the ER4P's and A900s are low impedence. If I wanted to upgrade to
Senns 650's in the future those would be high impedence headphones
which would benefit from the higher caps of 4000uF correct?)
Can anybody post their impressions of driving High Impedence
headphones with low capacitance, low gain set headphone amp?
Or is that just a rediculous question?
Actually that is where the
gain switch of the SuperMacro would come into play to drive the
higher impedence headphones, You would have to activate the
gain boost switch and turn up the volume pot on the SM higher
than usual (to drive the Higher Impedence headphones,) Right?
The issue is that you cannot have the BUFFER Sockets and Switches
features together installed in the SuperMacro v3.0 there is not enough
room to house them together.
The SuperMacro-3 with 4 feature switches: you can roll the opamps
(socketed opamps) and will probably have lower caps of 2000uF, and
the BUFFERS would have to be soldered in.)
I am currently using 2X BUFFERS soldered fixed in my SM v1.0 and
sounds plenty powerful (with my cans.)
So a SM v3.0 can be configured to have soldered 2X Buffers, 2000uF
Caps, Switches Features, Socketed Opamps for opamp rolling -> or
will the ground opamp need to be soldered or removed to have all of
these desired features?
Finally my easy question: How many opamps do you have to have to roll them in a new SuperMacro v3.0?
Thanks!
