Hi
Would someone help me with a list of products and parts for a headphone amp dedicated to
a Oppo 95 and Senn HD 600 headphones?
The Oppo has both RCA's (1.2Vrms) and balanced XLR's (4.2Vrms).
The Oppo has volume control on their remote for the two analog outs that I would like
to use if practical. I think the volume goes down to mute.
Thank you
Bill

Do you drive your headphones conventionally or balanced?

Hi Russ - Thank you for the reply.

I have only used the phono plug, but I would like to do whatever is best.

Nothing wrong with that. :)

I would suggest you try the new Placid HD-BP (with a dual 15V transformer) and Ventus or Ventus EZ combo. You can setup the Ventus(EZ or otherwise) for balanced input and SE output to your headphones.

So you would have balanced input to Ventus?Ventus EZ then each output + GND (run a single GND from the PS) to a phono jack.

Thank you Russ
I can't find where the "add to cart" is for the Placid HD-BP or the Ventus EZ ?
What is the differance between the Ventus and the Ventus EZ for my project?

Those are new kits, they're not yet on the site. The Ventus EZ is opamp based instead of discrete.

Thank you for the reply.
Do you have an opinion on which one might be a better match with the Oppo95 and Senn HD600?

They will both produce excellent results. Its a bit like asking for a favorite wine. :)

Hi Russ
I like wine that full, round, and a little on the sweet side --- not thin and dry which some people prefer.
I know you guys do an excellent job, but you make two and I would prefer the round and sweet one.

I know you must be very busy, which can be good and bad, anyway thanks for the help.
Keep a little space around yourself.
