    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    Yeah, I suspect someone made a mistake at the technical’ support level and they are trying to cover up for it. My guess is, they have them some training without understanding the what lies beneath. So I’d say it’s safe to assume that they are right when they say they have 2 DAC. Just like any...

    Have you asked them which chip they use for each ? There's this confusion that a lot of people make where they interchange the DAC signification from the Chip vs the circuit Path. If separate DAC is meant as a circuit path , then all audio interface use different DAC for their Monitor Output...

    I was not aware that oratory created files to download with preset settings inside. I don't use his presets so it's a bit out of my knowledge tbh. But looking at his parameters, I think I'd enjoy it when in party mode.

    As far as I know, Antelope are not using a separate DAC (one single chip) for their Monitor output and their Headphone output. The ones that I'm aware that use different chip for their Digital to analog processing are the ones I mentioned in a previous post. Now if we're talking about the...

    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    The difference between amps are definitely a lot bigger than the difference between DACs but they’re still a significant difference. I think it all work together as one entity after all, so matching can be important when a specific flavour is desired. A good experience I could share would be...

    They are mono balanced output. 1 is Left and 2 is right. 3 is left and 4 is right. Just Link them in the console view. You can connect your studio monitor in them and hear it for yourself. Make sure to lower the output in the software before plugin them or it will be EXTREMELY LOUD;

    No, they are not stereo outputs because they're TRS, they're Balanced because they are TRS. A TRS connection is not necessarily a stereo connection. A TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connection can indeed carry stereo audio, but it's not necessarily stereo by default. The reason lies in how the...

    You'd use Line Out 1+2 to L30ii Input L+R. So you'll need 2 cables that go TS Male to RCA Male. The rest would stay connected as is. You'll be switching between your outputs ( monitors or Line Out ) on your antelope. Function Button 1 (top-most) Pressing Function Button 1 cycles through...

    You'd be better off just keeping it plugged as it is right now and use your Line Out from your Antelope to your Headphone amp Input. Adapters are last resources type of devices. I wouldn't mess with that personally.

    For your general knowledge: Left (TS) is unbalanced...............................................................................................Right (TRS) is balanced.

    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    @Barncore You will need a set (2 cables) of TS Male (No need for TRS if you're going unbalanced anyways) to RCA Male to go from your Antelope into your Headphone amp. Like this : You will then need a set (2 cables) of RCA Male to XLR ( Male or female depending on your monitors input) Like...

    Yeah, that make sense . Just so you know, 3.5w won’t be enough for the HE6 line or the Susvara but you are correct, it would be plenty enough for the rest. I still think all their amp lineup are good so whichever you chose, I think it’ll be great and accomplish what you want to confirm about...
