Yeah I’m sending it back. I’ve never had any problems with their support. Hopefully the replacement is nice and quiet.

Thanks for taking the time to check! I understand this thing's primarily a speaker amp and maybe the fact that the headphone out is just the speaker power resisted down causes some noise? I plan on using it with speakers but I use headphones probably 70% of the time so I was hoping it would be...

Damn I hope they don't murder me with shipping if I have to send the thing back...

Took it to a completely different room of the house, plugged it in with no input and still hear background noise :( Looks like I'll be emailing schiit support. Real shame since I love everything else about this amp.

Thanks for the replies y’all. I sat down with the amp earlier and investigated and here’s what I’ve figured out: Unplugging the source or changing the input to one that isn’t in use has no effect on the static noise I’m hearing It’s only audible on medium/high gain. On medium it’s very quiet...

Actually when I really sit down with it, the sound is noticeable at normal listening levels, just very quiet. Does this have something to do with the single-ended output?

My Rag 2 just came in today and I'm liking it a lot so far. But have a question for anyone else with one. I hear a noticeable hissing on medium gain with the volume knob past 3:00 and on high gain past 12:00. Maybe I'm just using too sensitive headphones (HD 660s)? These volumes are wayyy to...

If people are so worried about the internal DAC in their CD player, why don’t they just get a normal priced player and a nice external dac? Most players have digital out anyways… It’s just ones and zeros on the CDs, doesn’t take an $18k device to read them.

They look beautiful and for $300 I wonder where they’ll stand…

It looks like the X uses the same pads as the Aeon 2 series.

@Shanling is there a way to display album art on the edict player? The files stored on my SD card have the art in their metadata but it’s not showing on the player.

I have a set of Modhouse T50rp Mk3 Argon and I really love the sound. The large but refined bass and wide sound stage really pair well with the music I'd like to listen to but the build of the headphone and other aspects of the sound leave a lot to be desired. I ordered a set of Monoprice...

Cool thanks!

Thanks for the help, I'll check them out :)

Looking for a nice closed back under $500. For reference, I have a pair of HD 660s and I really like their sound signature, but I live with roommates and it leaks sound like a small pair of speakers. Looking for something with somewhat similar sound to the 660s (tame highs, nice mids) but with...

Do you know the differences between that one and the Massdrop Aeon closed X? They’re around the same price.

Looking for a nice closed-back in the $500 range. I need them to be closed because my laptop sounds like a jet engine anytime I do anything intensive on it lol. As for sound signature, I already have the DT-770s (250 ohm). While I don't dislike them, I do find the treble a little tiring and the...

I'm a student and am trying to get some portable dac for when I'm using my laptop on campus. I bought the starfields and an Xduoo XD-05 basic as my source. While the starfields sound fine, I am hearing a slight hiss from the XD-05. It's not audible when listening to music but extremely annoying...
