May 15, 201412 yr @Posty, you sound like you need some Grados. Sweet, sweet Grados. **BRENT** Nah the HD800s are the most comfortable headphones of all time.
May 15, 201412 yr Nah the HD800s are the most comfortable headphones of all time. Too bad they are painful to listen to **BRENT**
May 15, 201412 yr Too bad they are painful to listen to **BRENT** too bad they are awesome and you are wrong brent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 15, 201412 yr Gotta agree with Jack here!!!!!!! I am very interested I how the HA-1 performs as a DAC. It would be sweet for the office.
May 20, 201412 yr I wear a 7 7/8 hat. After a haircut. Santa is the only person I know with a larger head. PM-1 felt great on my head. **BRENT** Indeed. Size 8 is sometimes tight...
May 21, 201412 yr "Insert" Hey, they're only trying to get the head part way in, so can't be that gay.
November 3, 201411 yr http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/affordable-and-transparent-oppo-ha-1-headphone-amplifierdac Even more interested.
November 3, 201411 yr Yeah, I had it here for a week before sending it off to Rob. It's a solid amp/DAC at a bargain price. Worth $2000 pretty easily, me thinks.
November 3, 201411 yr Tyll, Do you think it is worth it just to use as a DAC with the DSHA-1? I'm currently using the Pico DAC + DSHA-1 in the office.
November 3, 201411 yr Tyll, Do you think it is worth it just to use as a DAC with the DSHA-1? I'm currently using the Pico DAC + DSHA-1 in the office. I hope you don't mind me answering this. For the same price, I would get a used NAD M51 to go with your DSHA-1 and don't look back. The HA-1 is a bargain for the price but it won't blow you over as a dedicated DAC or headamp. As a combo, it is an excellent value but it won't measure up to your DSHA-1 + good DAC. So I suggest you get a better DAC and stick with your DSHA-1 for a much better results. BTW, I've auditioned the Oppo HA-1 in person before and the built quality on this is just superb! Edited November 3, 201411 yr by purk
November 3, 201411 yr Most of my experience is using the HA-1 as a dac and headamp but I think it's dac section is excellent, also remember you can connect an ipad/iphone to it directly and it also supports bluetooth.

The problem is that I don't have the room for a full size DAC in my office.
November 3, 201411 yr The problem is that I don't have the room for a full size DAC in my office. Well, the HA-1 won't be that desk friendly either. Its footprint maybe smaller than the M51, but it will take up more space than something like the Matrix X-Sabre DAC.
November 3, 201411 yr I'm not interested in the Matrix X-Saber Dac. I measured and do have room for the Oppo.
November 4, 201411 yr The line/pre outs are opamp based, and the headphone is class A. I read this review where he said he used the S/E headphone out with a Y-adapter to drive an amp, preferring that to the line/pre outs in back.
