I currently run the Beyerdynamic DT 880 on the xDuoo TA-26, i set the volume to the max, and it still doesn’t sound that loud, don’t get me wrong it get loud enough, but i want more volume to play with and not play the Amp at max volume all the time. I am looking for a sound signature where you hear everything up close a personal, but also sound natural and airy.

What source and DAC are you using?

3

PC and Aune X8 Magic Dac

4

and your windows volume is maxed at 100? if the dac has a volume control is that also maxed at 100?

5

The sound distorts when i set the Dac to max volume

6

I think the Dac is the problem

7

do you have the rcas hooked up to the right output? should be on the audio out rcas, not the preamp out rcas.

8

I had on Preamp out, i thought it was right because it was louder lol

9

It sounds much better lol No more distortion on max volume on the Dac

10

Now my comfortable level for the volume is 72

I am curious on the xDuoo TA-10R Tube Headphone Amp, is the specs better than the TA-26? I know it’s a hybrid Tube amp.

I am switching to SMSL SU-8s as soon as it arrives, trying out because i like the sound signature where everything sounds like it’s in front of you
