GUSTARD H10

Question for the community: What is the point of having balanced inputs if the output is not balanced. For instance - If I had a Gustard X12 and fed the H10 with the XLR interconnects would that be all-for-nothing if the headphone output doesn't take advantage of the balanced chain?

maharajavermaA balanced interconnect is the practical optimum analog connection. It's primary advantage is superior common-mode electrical noise rejection, which is nice when used for long cable runs. It is particularly useful (even vital) in high-level electrical noise environments, such as around computers, electrical machinery, power and lighting equipment, etc. like you find in stage environments, recording studios, and so on. That's why balanced XLR cabling is considered 'pro audio' gear. And for the same reasons, a balanced connection between the source and the amp is beneficial to the consumer too, regardless if there is a balanced connection amp-to-headphone (the benefit of that is a topic of debate itself; it's worth noting that most proponents of it will admit to the effect being miniscule). It's really nice to know you have a robust and uber-noise and interference-resistant connection between yer source/DAC and amp, to help preserve that black background and dynamic headroom. Totally worth it to use between an X12 and H10.

maharajavermaLake people and Violectric produce equipment for a professionals. The industry standard is XLR hence why its on the back as an option to hook up to pro gear and since the Gustard H10 is a clone of the v200 it makes sense to have it.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
