Hi guys...
Added the Tangentsoft PIMETA headphone amp into my 15+year old Sony CDP...
The amp before putting into the CDP:
The CDP has plenty of space on the right hand side for the amp and PSU...
Close up of amp and power supply. The supply is +/-10V, regulated down from the +/-15V because the AD8610's cannot take so high voltage...
Originally tried using the +/-5V supply, but it was really not enough (amp was clipping very easily).
First impressions: Much improved sound quality in general, not so "thin" as the original amp. It's a LOUD amp, originally I can turn the volume (remote controlled by the way) all the way up. Now, anything above 10 o'clock is deafening!
Now to get a better set of headphones...
