headphone amp

I just bought a barely used Soncoz QXA1 headphone amp and wondering if I made the right decision. There is nothing written from actual users of this amp anywhere which I can find and I've search many forums. If there are any owners here, could you write a few sentences on how you found it. My...

Hello, Can someone aware of amplifier ICs (some examples) used to drive headphones (smartphones/tablets/PC) that normally have an impedance of 16...32 Ohms? Many IC solutions (advanced codecs, etc) feature class D output stage specified for 4 ... 8 Ohms. Thanks.

I'm a newbie and just got my DT 1990 Pro headphones. Connected to the headphone jack of my Macbook Pro (2019) they sound pretty good but if I remember right they sounded better in the store with an amp. I'm interested in the Fiio K7 because of the good reviews and I also like how it looks. But...

I feel like I've done an exhaustive search but think I'm missing some options... Are there any other products like the HELM DB12 AAAMP? A small, portable headphone amp only? Just got my Sony NW-A306 Walkman and I absolutely love everything except the output power is definitely borderline...

Hi, I'm about to buy a Topping D10 Balanced to use with a pair of active monitors some time in the future. My issue is that I am not able to find any headphone amplifier with balanced input and single-ended output. Is there any?

Hello guys, so today my cayin iha6 started to output static noise on the left channel of the 4pin balanced output. There is 0 audible noise on the unbalanced output. I am 99% sure the issue comes from the amp. I have tested on another power outlet without anything but the headphone connected...

Hey guys, I've been lurking for years and I finally have a question I haven't seen answered recently... I want a transportable battery powered headphone amp with enough juice to comfortably drive Hd650 and Fostex T50rp. I don't want it to have a DAC and I don't want extra features beyond basic...

If one were to get a single product to improve the sound from a PC for listening on mid-range (B&O Portal/Audeze Penrose) headphones (mostly listening to Tidal, Youtube, gaming), what would provide the most noticeable improvement assuming you spent the same $? For example: Dongle DAC/Amp (E1DA...

This fell into the "Cheap enough, worth a pop" category so decided to get one to play around with. It arrived this morning, no power supply just a USB A to Barrel jack cable and the unit itself, thing is tiny. Got it hooked up to a Topping E50 via XLR and powered at the min with a cheap generic...

I changed RCA cables, I switched AC sockets, I checked without RCA cables, tried a different DAC. I tried grounding the unit. Nothing really helps. How can I fix this? It worked fine the first few weeks.

Hi, new to ASR and appreciate the plethora of sound system information! I'm setting up a desktop sound system for my office and, after exploring different options, landed on testing out the Loxjie A30 all-in-one (headphone quality an issue, I know, but is passable) and the SMSL DA9. Since I...

For some context I am a bass head. With my new Fostex T20RP headphones I listen to (bass heavy) hiphop music and at times watch movies/play games on my PC. The DAC/Amp stack I have thought to drive these headphones is as follows: DAC: Behringer UMC22 AMP: Either Xudoo mt-602 (tube) or Douk...
