@AnalogSteph, thank you very much for the detailed reply. Extremely helpful and you are correct, XLR throughout. I suspect you are spot on with "The DAC may be operating in a more suitable level range now," as it is set to "fixed," so zero digital attenuation. And thank you for the suggestion...

I welcome your input on why the improvement??? So I have been on the fence, do I or don't I get an external preamp. Well, I remembered that my Class A Oppo HA-1 headphone amp / preamplifier had a high quality preamp built in and decided to use my ACTIVE speakers via that HA-1. Well lo and...

Yes, you need Roon or a like product to stream. There are a few android based apps that will accomplish similar if not the same results but you can use services like Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect etc. I would suggest to check out the long thread on Head-fi and do a search to narrow down your...

Good catch. Interesting. Wonder why they made this choice since the MSRP is at a premium. Saving the MQA liceinsing fee maybe the driver here but at this price point that should not be a factor. MQA should be included at this price and the user can elect to use it or not. Big miss regardless...

Got it, thank you!

Got it, I am new to the hobby so my apologies for the newbie question. My thought was since the 150b can out put and amplifier the signal to a max of 6500 mV which is below the threshold of what the a90 Discrete can handle would there be a benefit to feed that signal from the 150b to a pre-amp...

Any thoughts on if I should add a preamp in-between the Rose 150b and the A90 discrete or is the 150b's preamp adequate?

Thank you both. Much appreciated. The Vrms vs mV vs V made me unsure of the obvious. Thanks for the reply.

I have the age old question regarding the preamp settings when connecting the A90 Discrete headphone amp.Which option do I select on the Hifi Rose 150b's Preout options (see pic)? I plan on using the A90 Discrete headphone amps with my HifiRose 150b and setting the 150b to fixed volume while...

Update: Thanks to this helpful group / thread I went ahead with the purchase along with a few sets of top tier Worlds Best Cables (XLR Cables) Couldn’t be happier. Works as advertised and zero added noise. Side note the little bear does have the Neutrik imprint on the XLR connections. Now...

Thank you for the info.

I see that they have changed the XLR connectors to a generic connector instead of the former Neutrik brand. Any concern going forward with the purchase with this change?

Curious why are you sellling? I am indeed interested but solely for listening to music. Do you recommend these for music consumption only? Richard

Have these sold?
