    Accessory needed: adapter to connect portable DAC to Sennheiser 800s with 6.35 stereo jack

    Would you mind illuminating the differences between those two models in the context of rock and metal music? I assume based on the "fun" descriptor, the 650 would be the superior one to most people. I don't think I have that nuanced of an ear, but this question won't hurt. Thanks for your help...

    Accessory needed: adapter to connect portable DAC to Sennheiser 800s with 6.35 stereo jack

    So tell me, would you recommend this Topping amplifier for a future investment? I've truly begun my fall into the rabbit hole of hifi now...:LOL:

    Accessory needed: adapter to connect portable DAC to Sennheiser 800s with 6.35 stereo jack

    This is very helpful, about the internal architecture of the amplifier! I sorta got that point from my youtube video watching of reviews for various DAC/amps. I intend to make my next purchase a DAC - Amp stack, and I know enough now to make sure it can put out both balanced and unbalanced to...

    Accessory needed: adapter to connect portable DAC to Sennheiser 800s with 6.35 stereo jack

    Another thought I had with the above new information in mind: has anyone heard a noticeable difference of sound quality from the Mojo 2 based on what "type" its converted audio is being fed into: unbalanced or unbalanced? Because this presents a purchasing choice that I am completely uninformed...

    OOHH yeah you read with a keen eye, I meant to say "balanced" where I put "unbalanced" haha! And thank you for the clarification with the specificity regarding output into balanced. I think I know a lot more since originally buying the 800s back in March, but i still have a great deal more to...

    Cool, thank you! It looks like that product had mono: "These mono headphone adapter jack"; I recall the plugs being stereo (2 stripes) for these headphones, so will this adapter still work?

    Announcement Welcome to the What Hi-Fi? forum. Introduce yourself!

    Hi, I'm Lindsay and have been a music fan since my dad introduced me to his music when I was around 11! The passion has only grown stronger and stronger, and it's almost obsessive — I love making music lists, designing themed playlists and learning about what makes the good music (to my ears)...

    Accessory needed: adapter to connect portable DAC to Sennheiser 800s with 6.35 stereo jack

    The Sennheisers came with an unbalanced 4.4 mm cable as well. Don't know anything about that, and had never heard of the 4.4mm plug size before (as I'm just a baby audiophile). Is it true that an amplifier must specifically be designed to output to unbalanced headphone cables? There isn't a...

    Accessory needed: adapter to connect portable DAC to Sennheiser 800s with 6.35 stereo jack

    Hey, this is my first post, and as a typical forum lurker, I selfishly arrived here to get information for myself... 😬, hopefully it ends up being useful for others The situation is: I have a Chord Mojo 2 — which has two 3.5mm jack sockets out — and I have a pair of Sennheiser 800S — 6.35mm...
