So will this be able to drive headphones like the LCD-2/3 HE-500s?

Hi Erich!

 

I can comfortably venture a "yes" - I would be surprised to learn that the M8 can't do a good job with all of those cans.

Thanks Mike! I knew you were somewhere in this thread as I was looking through the gallery and saw the picture of the XP8000! :D

Anyone visited CEntrance booth at CES? According to the M8 Blog, it seems that the prototype is quite good especially the Tone Shaping feature. I would like to hear some impressions about it.

Haven't been on the forum in a while and not sure if somebody has already addressed this question.

I'm hesitant to upgrade to the iPhone 5 due to the lighting port connection. Will the M8 have full support for this phone?

Any comments on Today's blog post?

 

(A cut and paste below the entire post here)

 

"_____ listened for a while and felt that HiFi-M8 sat right in between DACport and DACmini in terms of its sonic character."

I was intending to use the M8 as a portable with very sensitive IEMs and then to be able to come home and use as my desktop balanced AMP/DAC with my LCD3s. Perhaps I am expecting too much?

 

Michael, when you have the time would you please talk about this?

No worries, a lot of padding available in the 3-position gain switch. IEM users will be happy.

I had it sent back to CEntrance and they fixed it, to some extent... It is still scratchy, but as CEntrance charged me the return cost (to Europe) I just couldn't bother anymore... Obviously, I'm not the only one having this problem with the DACport. So, in this respect, what can we expect from the HiFi-M8?

Sorry about your inconvenience on the DACport. We have a much improved, larger pot from Alps in the M8. We also changed the circuitry to avoid scratching, etc. I think we have what you need.
