I'm about to run a stock IFi DAC to signature CAN as well. Are you using the RCA to go from the DAC to the amp, or are you using a pentacon male to male?
DazedSpyProbably a little more power output to the headphones. I find IFI tends to sound better balanced but it could just be placebo. I'm an "If you can go balanced, do." person.
Hey Chris very nice setup! Tell me, what is the difference from the ifi Zen Drop Edition from the original, aside from double the price and black paint?
Thanks n Happy Holidays 😊
Thanks! That's very informative. I've attached a pic of my guys in rotation. Fun to use the tubes with different DACs. I purchased 2 tubes from Ukraine, old new stock from 1979! Love it, even though it's not a true tube (which I've been on the fence for a while) I do love my SMSL M500! It does a bit of everything.
Chris please look at this item link from Amazon and tell me does it look like a nice item with an outstanding price? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08H4V1XRD/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1ZISYOXLTU6JG&psc=1 I am pretty sure I am buying it with $75 off now. A 2020 DAC too. hmmmm.....
hypnoticdcimeThat's a really good ESS\Sabre Chip. I'm sure it would be a decent dac if you like Sabre dacs. Soncoz makes a really nice small on as well but I don't think it has bluetooth like that one does. Very nice set up. That SMSL is a really good D\S dac.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
