If thats the case oh well I can always use it as a portable amp which it was intended for. I just need to pickup a nice MP3 player that can play loseless audio files.

Then you'll also need one that allows you to bypass the internal amp.

An iPod with a Line-Out dock will be fine.

Can the AD8610 opamps be in the amp be replace? and If so it is highly advisable to do so or not?

They can't really be replaced - they're tiny and soldered onto the PCB, not socketed.

Hello guys...
For those who have had their Headsix for a while.
How long you guys had burned them in?
Mine has gone through about 50 hours of music listening...

 

[trickywombat]

About 200 hrs of burn-in, and I haven't noticed any further change to the sound.

How did it change from new to 200hr? Is it a massive improvement? Mostly on bass/mid/trebble balance? or in soundstage?

If want to use FLAC files, make sure you Rockbox it...

The bass becomes cleaner and more defined, but not deeper.
Treble clears up some, but on low gain still has roll-off.
Midrange becomes more prominent.
But, the pot also became crunchy.

And the soundstage did improve and pulled back a little too.

I also agree that by 200 hours was where most of the changes occurred.

That is great news... you guys burned them in with pink noise, freq sweep or just plain listening?

cheers,

Just music with a set of headphones connected, at normal volumes.
