Hello, I create that thread because I need some help. I bought a beyerdynamic T1, but the headamp choose is very confused. I wanted to take the Woo audio WA2 or Decware CSP2+, because these headamps sounds to make a nice combo with the T1. but I live in france, so buy a new WA2 or CSP2...

Hi head-fi people!   First of all, I love this board and I've been learning a lot.   I own HD650s with a Xonar Essence STX soundcard (pretty common I guess) so they sound closed.   I'm planning on buying a good Amp this month to find back the wider soundstage/unveiled/non...

Looking at different solid state headphone amps, I'd quite fancy an amp with balanced inputs to connect to my Musical Fidelity M1. So, I was contemplating the Little Dot MK VII+ but I couldn't find many persons experience with it.   What is its sound signature? Is this amp worth the money...

Sounds pretty magical even unamped....any $250 or under amp suggestions?

I'm currently driving my Ultrasone Pro 900 directly from my Yulong D100. It's an awesome DAC with a totally decent built-in headamp, but it's VERY transparent, bordering on cold. I like my DAC as transparent as possible, but for the Pro 900's I'd love a slightly warmer presentation. I'm not...

Hi guys,   I have a mini matrix balanced DAC, little dot mk VII, silver xlr interconnects and a HD 600 with stock cable. I wanna go balanced with my setup. The thing is the little dot mk VII have the single ended 1/4 jack and the xlr 4 pin jack, anyone knows if it's possible to go balanced...

Hi i just bought a HD 600 and a little dot Mk VII amp. I have no idea how to connect the amp to my Macbook pro. The previous owner of the amp gave me this two headed silver interconnect that has 3 holes with one end being male and the other end being female. May i know how do i connect the amp...

Jeez, just pulled the trigger on a T1 (pre order) from Moon Audio, re-terminate with a 4 pin XLR. This will be my first high end headphone... Funny enough, I have no idea about the sound, just read some reviews...finger crossed!

Please help if ya can... The scenario: LCD-2 is on the way. It will be used mostly in the studio to aid in mixing. I have a Lavry DA-10 DAC which provides an ostensibly powerfull enough / sufficient on paper amp for the LCD-2. But, I'm less than convinced it will give them enough juice / oomph...

Just wanted to ask anything has tried these two amps before and could post their thoughts on them? Currently I've just splurged like crazy on a used set of MKVII+, Matrix Mini dac and a HD650, wanting to try a balanced setup. Initial impressions seem promising as the HD650s seem slightly more...

Hi just wondering what's the difference between the Little Dot MKVII and Little Dot MKVII+? I've just bought a MKVII+ and I'm not sure what's the difference between the two amp models. I've checked a website called audiophile china carrying Little Dot products but it seems they only sell...

Hey there, people of head-fi!   After a few days of research I think I may need to update my whole current setup. I have decided I need a new DAC + amp (I currently use an M-audio firewire solo as both), chiefly because I am looking to the DT 990s in the near future. I believe that the...

I have been looking for a list of "budget" balanced amps. I say "budget", because it seems that balanced amps that cost less than $1,000 are few and far between. Even those that exist generally cost around $800. I wasn't able to find a list of balanced amps, much less a list of budget balanced...

I dunno much about the balanced connection but sounds pretty interesting. Price is an important factor in my future purchase so i decided on these components :   Cambridge audio DACmagic Little dot MK VII Sennheiser hd 650 with balanced cables   My question is if this is a good...

Presently using the KICAS with the DACMAGIC and HD 650's. What benefit if any would I get from using the LD MK VII+? I am pretty happy with the sound of the KICAS but may want to go balanced at some point and with the other amp I could do that. Do you think there would be any benefit to SQ...

From the Little Dot Website: Little Dot Amplifiers • View topic - Little Dot MK VII+ Balanced Headphone Amplifier The Little Dot MK VII+ is a fully balanced, dual-mono headphone amplifier with single-ended compatibility. The circuit is composed of four independent channels with...

I currently have the HD650 and I'm looking to get a Balanced Amp/Dac combo. I am looking to spend not more than  £450 (around $700) though I don't mind stretching it a little if its worth it.  After endlessly going through various threads, the only decent option I can find in this price range is...

Would this be the best balanced combo in the as-shipped price range of $750? I'd like to power a set of HD800's.   In other words, is this the best-sounding setup I can buy for under $2000, balanced or single ended?

 I just picked up a Firestone new Dac/Amp from oen of the local store "Absolute audio"   I am still a noob , can't really give much impression.  it is now connected to my secondary PC using coaxial to my forte 7.1 sound card   onething i like it alot is... No hissing when i use the...

My main desktop setting is ld dac1 + LD MKVII+ also a MKIVse I wonder how will the firestone Libby compare to my current setting now. Which is better ? As I am planning to get the Libby, and want to put the better one next to my main desktop. Any opinion is welcome!

I've been playing around with my Sony CD3000s a lot lately. Switching them between the various amps I have on hand I'm reminded of what a temperamental and amplifier dependent set of cans these are. They go from lush on the Woo to harsh on the Aural. As such, I'm suddenly curious what other...

I just paid for a T1  and should receive it  in like a week,   but this make me wonder, how good will my current amp be able to drive it.   Little dot MKIV se Little dot MKV ( which is going to be sold) Little dot MKVII+ ( which i should receive it  2 weeks later( sent back for...

I was so happy today, as i received the MKVII+ today , but after i pluged it then turned the amp on, without even turn up the volume nob( at zero), i can hear weak crackling sound.   I get that even without my LD DAC1 pluged in,   anyone know why???? will it be the headphone plugin...
