Is that a standard balanced input? Hi, this is Nicholas from LTA. Yes, the balanced inputs accept a standard male XLR cable. Link to comment
jtnt Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Quote If I were to offer any criticism at all, it would be that an amplifier advertised as being an electrostatic headphone amp, should have two electrostatic headphone ports and not just one. Most of this amp’s competition in this area from companies like Woo, Stax, HiFiMan, and Headamp. This is Nicholas from LTA. One reason we did not include two electrostatic headphone ports is that all the major electrostatic headphones on the market are open back. This means that you can hear other headphones in the vicinity if they are also playing music. This seems less than ideal from a sound quality perspective even if you do happen to own more than one pair of electrostatic headphones. I suppose only having one limits listening in tandem with a partner, but we see this as a limited use case. And in this case, you have speaker outputs with the Z10e to share the music, which most others do not have. Also, in our customer research, most of our customers have only two ears. When we expand to other galaxies, we'll look into adding a second port for more advanced lifeforms. 😉 Link to comment
