Title: My new headphone rig
Post by: bmwr75 on March 27, 2010, 09:18:36 AM

Just assembled my first nice headphone/amp/DAC rig.  The cans are Beyerdynamic DT-770 600 ohms, amp is a Ming Da MC 84 C07 and a Cambridge DACMagic.  The amp uses two 12AX7 preamp tubes, two EL84 power tubes and a 6HU6 magic eye tube.  The sound is amazing, but not like anything I've ever heard from a 2-channel system.  The highs are very crisp and bass is excellent too.  Rolling 12AX7 tubes makes a big difference in the sonics also.  Am currently trying some select (red tip) Telefunken 12AX7s purchased locally from MCAudioarts on eBay.

Hi Scott!

That looks like an awesome setup!  I've never been much of a headfi person, but I know a great pair of headphones and the right front end can sound spectacular ;D

Congrats on the nice equipment!

The head-fi posts have piqued my interest.
It sure would be fun to have something like that on my desk at the office. :D

That's awesome Scott!  That Ming amp is a think of beauty.
