nevermind, i sent the damn thing back. So my Definitive Tech SM55's are too difficult of a load for the A30, fine.

I'm trying to find inductors similar to those for sale in the US. I hardly even understand inductors. Do the specs on the inductor matter, will the wrong ones affect the audio signal?

Oh boy

Interesting. I will still expect there to be a significant improvement in noise filtering from SI-275 to A500. With the gain middled on the A500 there begins to be an audible buzz from the computer. That's the biggest gripe with it. as far as I know that could also be the DAC's fault
