Ordered the Classics!

A good choise. It comfort headphones that do not have that large bass impact. Like open hp's and estats

They are going in the headphone output stage (so should not affect electrostatics, which have a dedicated amp).

The aim is to increase resolution and soundstage, especially with HD600 (balanced) and ATH-W1000Z and SR325is (both single ended).

I wonder why u say that? Estats need an amp&energiser, but also ur source effect the sound that it's amplifying. There also pure energisers that need strong speaker amp to run proper. That closer probably you can't even get the source.

I use the Burson's in the pre-amp stage and connect the A90. Heaven......

I’m only replacing the opamps in the headphone amp stage (not the ones in the line output).

Oh, I changed them all I recommend to use balanced output it's somehow finer sounding. You can use HP or line output for the Stax amp&energiser. It do not really matter much. But there is still some sophisticated differences.

Just received and fitted the V6 Classics in the headphone output stage.

So far: sound is darker and subjectively „smoother“, with no loss of resolution. The biggest improvement is to soundstage width.

The downside was the need to fit the opamps with the help of some rather floppy „extenders“ from Audiophonics, leaving the V6s loose in the case. Not an elegant solution, but better than either leaving the casework off (dust, safety!), or cutting holes in the top (aargh!). Can’t Burson just make them a wee bit shorter?

I used the extenders with the V6 Vivids in the pre-amp (set to exclusive mode). A little hot glue allayed any movement worries. I am very happy with this setup.

Anyone having problems with the Apple USB Camera dongle?
I have two , one non Apple and the other is an Apple dongle . A google search didn’t come up with anything , just can’t seem to get anything running through either , Bluetooth works fine on the Topping but I’d rather have the higher bitrate from the usb connection.

Or Topping could make it a bit taller. Why to offer swap op-amps but don't support the best ones... Btw headphone stage uses all four. Two for amping and two for buffering.

Looks like the USB input isn't working , Tried three different dongles and a USB cable from MacBook Pro and none work although Bluetooth is working fine , Hopefully its fixed under warranty but Ill have to ship back to China

Could you recommend active speakers for back outputs?
I'd like to use for computer, music listening, too much volume not need for me, but nice sound quality is mandatory.
Or... I need to buy stereo amp + normal speakers?

I use the Tannoy Gold 5 with my DX7 Pro.

You need to use a powered speaker because the DX7 Pro only acts as a pre-amp. There are lots of good options out there depending on your taste in sound.

Thank you, I checked the Tannoy family. Unfortunately, in Hungary only Tannoy Gold 7 is available, which is more expensive, but I'll keep my eyes on this brand, thanks.

There are many other good options around that price. Just google "Active speakers"
