ok so i got a pair of xhadow female xlr plugs in the house and man they do sound better than the furutech rhodiums for half the price.
anyone fancy a pair of used furutechs for like 25 bucks?
anyway, xhadow cardas vs zu mobius should be interesting.

the max dac is just a home dac with that upsampling chip right?

2. yes. 3. no 4. volume at 16 and everything else at default. 5. transparent, clean and dynamicAh, thanks for the reply IronDreamer.
I just have a few general questions about the Lavry that doesn't pertain to specific headphones per se.
- Will connecting the XLR analog out directly to balanced headphones damage the headphones (both high and low imped) in any way? (Tiberian already answered this for me I think. It shouldn't.
)- Can you use the headphone out and the analog outs (RCA or XLR) at the same time sort of like a loopout? (I'm assuming no.)
- Does the Lavry have a built-in peak limiter? Actually I don't know the proper terminology, but basically some sort of feature that protects your equipment from sudden spikes in volume (signal?). For example, signal spikes often occur when you're using your computer as source and you're fastforwarding a video file or when you want to go to a specific time in the video and you drag your progress bar to that second. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Actually, this may turn out to be a totally separate question.- What settings do you guys use?
- What is the general quality or sound signature of the headphone out and the analog outs?
-
the gs-1000s should be a good match with cardas headphones wire (with good xlr plugs, of course)...silver probably just won't do with grados because of sibilance.
-
yea thats a lot of money for switching from a standard headphone plug to a pair of neutrik xlrs.Holly crap TTVJ is asking $150 to terminate the GS1ks to balanced... Unless that includes a recable that is rather steap. That takes maybe 20-30min to reterminate a pair of headphones...

my sig is the best you can get in terms of synergy (headfi approved, of course).

-
no...spend your money on something better.
-
cardas make well designed high quality cables...but the house sound is a tad flat IMHO.

heh i wasn't trying to waste anyone's time. an electrostat rig was just a random idea came out of nowhere - i wish i was loaded too.
-
don't worry, i won't have spare money for an electrostat rig for at least a while.
-
which solid state amp should i go for? the 717 or the KGSS? i know a stock kgss is 1.5k but i don't know how much does the 717 cost...
-
IMHO the hr-2 is probably ray's best amp (with the right op amps).I've not liked 1 RS amp up to now .
Had the hr-2 ( colour ) the xp-7 ( colour , unrefined ) the hornet ( didn't make it , didn't live at all up to the hype to my ears , returned after burn in )
-
congratz GE.
-
apparently ray samuels has a new amp...a balanced one perhaps? any ideas?
-
god i HATE that song too. that titanic craze was just plain silly. i rather go watch 50 cent and listen to in da club...

umm i think i am pretty much the only one with deep purple heart senn woodies...and you know i like them. greater isolation with increased focus, dynamics and transparency.To the limited few who have /had Senn Headphile woodies, the deep depth type, do you guys think they are worth it? Do they affect the sound in a positive matter? Any wood suggestions (except GE's ugly woodies). Maybe some crazy Ebony deep depth woodies?

hollaback girls.
