RMAA now says there's a problem with crosstalk but advises that it could be due to the cable. My PSU is a 330W Seasonic S12 II. I figured that's plenty of power for an nVidia 9400 / Intel E7300 C2D system. But I'm sure it's a single 12V rail design. Now I'm wondering if there's any sense in getting a much larger PSU and putting the STX on it's own rail. |

And the iphone is considered bright but I have to say, its darker then the STX. The bass with stock opamps through the HP out is really dissapointing me now. It hasn't before as I hadn't compared the two but now that I have, I'm finding it lacking. This is with the JH|13 Pro headphones. I'll soon be redoing my water loop (finally) and will have easy access to the STX for op-amp swapping... I'll be soldering up the HA's and putting them in the I/V .. that should add the bass from what I've read I'm thinking its just bad synergy with the JH-13's that are making them sound brighter then I'd like with the STX HP out Anyone else feel like the stock STX HP out is on the bright side? Perhaps heavily so? |
