As a side, might want to try unity gain setting to match other 281 owner and see what that does. Noticed that as gain is increase on that amp so is its input sensitivity, which means a high gain setting would overload the input easier.

If May be wrong but I think I saw him say +18. It doesn’t go higher than +12 so maybe I read wrong. I used to use +6 on my V281 and listen at about 1 o’clock on the dial. That’s with 4 V input from my DAC. I think the combo of the amp and the output voltage from the Qutest is the issue.

Probably get a discount amp to try

Is there any news or speculation on a driver update for the 1266 TC’s given the Diana just updated? From initial reviews it seems the Diana has been brought much closer to the 1266 TC’s

hope not, my wallet is not prepared for the insane price it would likely cost lol

Would anybody in this group know of a professional reworking cable connections?

In this case, I’d not like an adapter. I used to have this done by Triton Audio, but David is according to the website not offering this anymore. Thanks!

I believe Trevor of Norne does but it might be limited to his cables.

Yes, he does it for his cables which is great. However, I might be too impatient to wait 8 months this time

If you are looking for a re-terminated option, there may be a slew of DIY members since you're not inclined to wait on the cable guys.

I've been fortunate not to experience the delays that others have noted.

Haha, you make me sound impatient, which I don’t believe to be. Anyway, if you know any professional and recommended member, please let me know.

You keep using this professional word. LOL

I understand Trevor has long lead times, so does Peter and the rest of them especially for a termination service.
I have plenty of friends who build very high end things. I am not sure if they're professionals.

Ted allen (tedallen0220@gmail.com) has fixed numerous cables for me and always at very reasonable rates. He most recently reterminated furutech mini XLRs to fit my DHC Prion to an Abyss and it has worked out great.
Hope that helps.
