No changes under the hood.
Studios use the mono L/R

Gotcha...of course on the dual XLR.

Recently added the "New" Sennheiser HD660S2 to my headphone roster.
Contrary to the lower impedance HD660S which performed more less the same across most amps the Bryston unexpectedly, or expectedly, brought the new 300ohm S2 to life with deeper and more authoritative bass, clearer highs and wider and deeper layered soundstage.

some configuration questions involving BDA-3, BP17³ , and BHA-1.   I currently run
BDA-3 balanced out to BP17³ balanced in and BDA-3 SE out to BHA-1 SE in. 
BP17³ balanced out (variable output number 1) to 4B³ balanced in.

I'm looking for the best input configuration for BHA-1: all my sources for BHA-1 are digital
and controlled by BDA-3 (CD, BDP-2).
1)  keep config as is: BDA-3 SE out to BHA-1 SE in
2) BDA-3 balanced out to BHA-1 balanced in, BHA-1 balanced out to BP17³ balanced in
3) BDA-3 balanced out to BP17³ balanced in BP17³ balanced out (variable output number 2) to BHA-1 balanced in

I'm not sure 3) even makes sense unless I send the BP17³ to Bryston to have one balanced output 1
converted from variable to fixed.  Any idea what that would cost ?

I'd keep the configuration as you have it, having only the BDA-3 as the common component.

Am I correct in saying that the BHA-1 now has the low gain mod as standard?

[James Tanner]

Hi - no the low gain is only on a special request.
