Quote: OK, got it. Makes me wonder what people meant by balanced headphone cables though. If separate return path counts as 'balanced', aren't all regular speaker connections 'balanced'?

I'm currently driving He-6 from Benchmark DAC1 directly. I got an old 4 channel Adcom GFA2535. Can I use Benchmark's XLR out to drive it as a balanced stereo amp for the phone? Where can i get the necessary cables? Thanks.

Because as Logitech employees they don't work on weekends? Anyway why not give them a call. If they still have some left they might sell it to you. They had a laptop at the reception desk on which you can place orders via an Intranet web page.

I just came back from their openhouse. They are selling some v3 wireless units at $199.99 _on site_. The white and silver/black ones are available but not the all-black. Comes in white boxes; said to be return units but fully tested. I think it has the same 30 day guarantee as new units. If...

For posting this fix. I recently bought one from PV, and soon started to notice the clipping (e.g., Pony Canyon Sampler CD 2002 has many tracks clipping). I knew the output level was too high as I fed the DAC output to a Terratec DMX 6 line in, and could observe the level max out at the moment...
