Sabaj A20h Balanced Headphone Amplifier Owner's Thread

[Veri]

All advice welcome. Maybe balanced input would be better; I've ordered some XLR interconnects, but from Ali Express so they will take a couple of weeks.

Yes you seem to have a grounding issue, XLR interconnects will hopefully eliminate it completely.

Thanks Veri. Rather than take a chance on waiting for the XLRs, I returned the A20H to Amazon this morning. I've never had any hifi grounding issues anywhere in the house and the new amp was sharing a power strip with a DAC and streamer, both working silently for a long time. It's a pity, because I liked the sound.

Bit of a pity. A20h is still my main amp it does all I expect of it and more, and at a great/unbeatable price.
I do use XLR inputs though..

Did you find any fix for the phone noise problem?

No. I gave up and am not using them anymore.

I bought two SABAJ A20H for 90 euros each that i use with dongle DACS (Colorfly CDA M1P or Shanling UA4 / in 3.5=>RCA or 4.4=>XLR) and i'm very happy with them for listening my IEMs. I wonder if the SMSL D0400 will be an improvement ?

What do you use in your setup with your A20h?

I have a older Aune DAC with balanced outs which works fine. I believe it's AK4495SEQ based
