Hi there,
Just wondering what advice I could get on Headphone amps. First off, do I need one?
I am mixing with a Xone32, and using Sony 700's as headphones. The sound out of the mixer in these seems a little bass shy, and there seems to be a fair amount of hissing/static. In contrast, hooking the phones into my soundblaster audigy produces a much fuller sound. I've tried a cheaper pair of headphones into the Xone32, and even that seems to produce a fuller sound. The headphone volume level on the high end sony's is about 2, while the cheaper ones get cranked to around 6-7 for a comfortable listening volume.
I thought the headphone stage on the XOne32 would be of the highest quality? Is it possible something would be wrong with my mixer? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks in advance!!
