Amazing Qable iQube : is V2's SQ same as V1?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Due to upgraditis, I have recently upgraded my portable amplifier from the Meier Audio Corda Move (an unbeatable fantastic amplifier considering its price) to the Qable iQube V1 which, shockingly enough, totally blew me away in terms of performance. Everything that my Corda Move did (which did very well), the iQube did it much much better which, frankly speaking, still shocks me after my 2-week's experience with the iQube. I'm really happy....

In any case, I am now curious about two things:

1) Is the new iQube V2's sound quality different from the V1?

2) What do other iQube owners use as their source? I used a Cowon D2 with my Corda Move (which was a wonderful combination), but after I have tried my newly gotten iQube, I do not think I will be doing justice to my iQube by using the same combination. I am thinking of getting myself a lossless player with dedicated line-out (Cowon X5 / Hifiman HM-801 / Telcast T51 / etc. --> I am an "anythingbutipod guy") and I just want to check what other iQubers are using.

Any inputs would be very appreciated!

According to Hans, both V1 and V2 have the same amp circuitry. The only difference is the DAC on V2.

I'm will be using my iPhone and iMod with incoming iQube.

I guess that means that the SQ of V2 will be very similar to the V1 assuming that the source fed to the V1 is on par with what the DAC on the V2 delivers. Thanks for your info!
