I wonder whether this @TempoTec account is official TempoTec that monitor on Head-Fi?
I'd like to report my found (possibly a bug)..
My Tempotec E44 sound fine with nothing strange with 3.5mm SE output... (with PCM, not yet try DSD)
But I found something strange when I usedE44 with 4.4mm Balanced (tested with KB Ear Aurora (18Ω) with Faaeal hibiscus balanced 4.4mm cable).
- for 24/96 material, it sounded normal just like 3.5mm SE, and just louder
- but for sample rate 44.1KHz and 48KHz... everytime I start a song, it start with a little bit quieter then jump to louder...
Did you guys, by any chance tried with similar situation as mine above?
PS. aside from more powerful, with Aurora, I 'think' in E44 in SE sounded better than in Balanced. Maybe it is a wrong match... I need to try it with more difficult load...
(giving more thought on this... E44 in Balanced is too powerful for Aurora... I only use few volume clicks... it might be that the bits resolution are much lower in such a low volume...)
