racheskiThey've been using the same design for a while. I guess either not enough people cared about it, requires compromise in terms of engineering, or they just don't want to change it.
racheskiThe gain switches just reposition the volume control so that you have a wide range of adjustment. The main purpose is to set the best gain for your source not to adjust gain for different headphones.
HirakYou can look at it from either side but you're achieving the same thing. Since some headphones are more efficient than others and some DAC's have a higher output, you're trying to adjust the volume control so that you have sufficient gain and yet not too much gain. The goal is to have the volume control roughly around 12:00 when listening at a comfortable level.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
