My main system is a pair of LS50's and a HSU 15" sealed sub. I just got a miniDSP Flex HT and I love it! Dirac Live is incredible and it's good to be able to downmix surround to 2.1 myself to get the LFE track. I do use this for music but mostly movies.
Outside of that, I have a custom car...
I have a CXA61 and use its headphone out with my sennheiser HD6XX with no trouble. The problem with the headphone out on the cambridge 61 and 81 is an output impedance of 30 ohms. This is fine with 300 ohm sennheisers but that's about it. For all other headphones, the suggestion of connecting a...
I am the owner of the Ether Flow 1.1 reviewed by ASR recently.
While they've been with Amir I've realized that my HD6XX, Moondrop S8 and living room stereo have been keeping me plenty happy. There is no need for me to own more than that & I feel fine letting the Ether Flow go.
I'm asking $650...
The headphones have angled pads, however those are the pads they came with. While I did buy them used I have no reason to believe that they were not sold to me with the stock pads. The only thing not stock on the headphone is the cable; I swapped it for a Hart Audio cable.
This is a late model...
Hello ASR community! There are my headphones. Thank you Amir for the wonderful job measuring them.
When I sent them to Amir I guessed that they'd get a "meh" panther with no EQ and a golfing panther with EQ, as EQ does transform them from a wonky sounding headphone to a great one.
I see a lot...
It's an analog output, usually RCA or 3.5mm, with power output matching the volume knob on the device. This is best for hooking up to a subwoofer if the sub has its own crossover.
A 'line-out' is the same but its output is always at full power, independent of the volume knob. This is best for...
Yeah I own a C200. My Cambridge CXA61 has one too, although theirs is a simple "high" or "low".
@Joey It's jitter-reducing tech on ESS chips. If it's set high the DAC will have trouble locking onto signals from high-jitter sources, resulting in audio drop-outs. Many TVs quality as a high-jitter...
@Fosi Audio
I'm glad to see that you're responding to our suggestions. If I may offer two suggestions for power amps and one for DACs:
Power Amps:
Please offer a High Pass Filter for the main speakers and a sub-out (pre-out that adjusts with the volume knob works too, but line-out that is...
