I didn't express myself clearly, sorry, I've edited my other comment now but I'll say it here too: unlike the Arya Stealth, which are...

It really isn't. Just lower impedance and higher sensitivity is more likely to pick up noise.... however unless the gear is bad I don't...

Hmmm. What about Topping G5 and DX5?

When the amp is balanced and it is connected with balanced connectors, this is supposed to help with cross talk. It also helps with...

Ok, thanks, no JDS for me. And why is this more important with 16 Ohm headphones?

When you say 4 pole you mean balanced? And in a case like this, would the female 4.4 connector of the Amp 2 be 4 pole and would it...

Could you explain in easy terms what's this electrical damping and how it would affect the sound? Anyway it seems like I have to let go...

Do you mean the Fosi SK02? Planar magnetics should be fine in terms of frequency response being unaffected but electrical damping is...

well it's a planar, the Arya Organic, so it shouldn't have much variability but I don't want to play with uncertainty, I want to feel...

Hey, thanks. I'm not looking for BT. Unless you mean my other thread but that's not actual anymore. I just need something portable...

So, very bad for 16 Ohm headphones?

Mostly yes. You can easily replicate the typical high frequency roll-off of R2R DACs using EQ. But the elevated IMD of R2R DACs cannot...

Yeah maybe you missed that in my post but I do that already in Foobar with MathAudio Headphones EQ. Anyway could you recommend a few...

Hi! So, the Arya Stealth ended disappointing me. From all that biiig talk of expansive soundstage and good bass I was expecting...

I use the 3.5 connector for the Arya with an adapter. The cable as a 1/4" connector. I use a 4.4 balanced connector with the HD800S...
