Dedicated amp. Not sure I could go with that. having to change the SB input to the main amp to the headphone amp all the time. The cables and the sockets would get damaged over time. Unless I keep the digital coax in the DAC and the standard outs to the headphone amp? Would that work? -- mikeruss mikeruss's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9023 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39067 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

The amplifier in your main rig should have a record output, which you can use as input to the headphone amplifier. -- marsicanus marsicanus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12443 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39067 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Advice please hi-fi geeks
Hi all I would love a pair of headphones - probably Grado - but my stereo probably like most of you is in front of the sofa. The issue is getting the headphones to the amp/source. I have looked at wireless but I'm not keen, mixed reports etc. So... any ideas how I can get a feed close to my sofa? Do I need to look at extension cables for the headphones? If so I've not seen any decent extension cables. -- mikeruss mikeruss's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9023 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39067 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Advice please hi-fi geeks
You will find a lot of info at head-fi. One thing you should look into is a headphone amp. The headphone outs in most amp/ preamps and the SB3 are not going to compare well with a dedicated headphone amp. The good news is that there are some great amps that won't break the bank. I got a portable Corda Move from Jan Meier in Germany. I use it in the bedroom setup with the SB3 and my Ipod 160gig Classic when I travel. It is small and has a usb DAC included. It is a killer amp at 240.00 delivered from Germany. I also bought a Meier Corda Cantate, 540.00, for the Transporter rig. I have listened to both amps with my AKG701's and they are a great match for this phone. People at head fi say the Mier amps do well with Grados as well. The SB3 Corda MoveAKG701 in my bedroom is keping me up nights...that is my only compaint :-) -- tomjtx tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39067 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
