Hi,
I run my HE-500s direct from the XLR outputs on the MDAC, using an adaptor cable of 2 x 3 pin XLR to 4 pin XLR socket, which then connects to a balanced cable from the HE-500s terminated in a 4 pin XLR plug. This allows me to run balanced throughout, and also use the phones with a Little Dot MkVI - although that is becoming rarer now, as the MDAC sounds so good used directly
Hope this might help someone - it's another way of doing it without shelling out for a separate headphone amp.
Cheers,
George
Hi George,
Yes this is the best way to drive headphones - so long as the Ground connection of the headphone leadouts can be separated.
In effect each headphone driver is driven fully Balanced by the MDAC - I'd expect an improvement in the Bass at the very least.
Fully recommended - its how I'd drive my own headphones...
