I got the Lake people G-108 about 2 weeks ago and connected it through the XLR inputs to an Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer/DAC and I am extremely happy with the synergy between these two devices and the great sound coming out of my headphones.

Hi, is it good for IEMs? I mean hiss and volume control ( is there enough space? ), thanks in advance

Hello,
I used my setup only with over the ears headphones so can’t really answer your question directly. However, you can adjust the internal gain switches of the G-108 which can help the IEMS overcome noise level specifically.

many thx for your answer, just one question, which are yours most sensitive overears and where you set the pregain for them? thanks

I have three close back headphones and all work at about 30 ohm impedance so no problems driving them at the default gain setting of the G108 with the volume knob set at about 25-30% setting as I’m not a loud listener. There is plenty of gain room left for difficult to drive planar headphones like HIFIMAN Susvara for example.

thanks so there should be no problem for iems by the lowest pregain setting... Im using aune s17pro for my overears, but for iems it is too loud on first volume step and I want one more hp amplifier which is iems friendly... thanks

Great … just one clarification in case you are not aware…. If you were to use the G108, if you want to adjust (lower the pre-gain for your IEMs) the pregain switches are internal-adjust only so you do need to open the chassis to reach them.

I've had one about a year and am always surprised at how good it is. Highly recommended.

How do think the G108 will pair with the HEDDphone One [42ohms|87dB/1mW]?

Thank you.

ADI 2 DAC FS + G108 mkll + DT 1990 Pro = wow!
With analytical pads and Sommer Epilogue xlr cables.

Guess germans know one or two things about professional audio.

Lately I prefer professional audio gear for my headphone use. "Audiophile" equipment has lost much reputation before my eyes...

I really like this combo!

Anyone experienced the difference between the G108, G109, G111? Also G105, while we are at it.

Can the op amps be swapped out or are they soldered in place? I also saw pics of the circuit board elsewhere and I noticed there were dip switches. Is that considered to be user serviceable and is it encouraged to experiment with those settings?

Hey guys, I spotted the new Lake People G118. It's marketed more towards studio use. Very bottom one.

Seems its using the amp on the g111. From the manual:

G109 doesn't seem to be around anymore.

G105 not balanced op amp based. Highest output is 2000mW/14.1V at 100ohms... 490mW/17.3v at 600ohms.

G108 fully balanced op amp based, and I wouldn't have guessed it by the numbers. Maybe something to do with running 60v internally, but it is powerful enough to drive the he6sev2 to deafening levels at +6 gain (gain range its -18 to +18) with a -9.6 gain in Windows running fully balanced. Highest output is 2700mW/16.6V at 100ohms... 680mW/20.2V at 600ohms.

G111 not balanced discrete based amp. Considered to be on the warmer sounding side compared to the G105 and G108. Have not personally used it. Highest output is 2050mW/11.1V at 60ohms... 600mW/18.9V at 600ohms.

They are soldered.
