iCAN micro SE – intergalactic launch competition

May the Force be with you

 

 
 
 
 
The micro iCAN (original) was for a while, the #1 rated headphone amplifier on Head-Fi. We’re over the moon to announce the launch of the all-new micro iCAN Special Edition. We are quietly confident it will reclaim top-spot.
 
Also, as we are as avid fans of Star Wars as the next guy (or gal), we cannot wait for the next exciting installment. Well, for the launch of the micro iCAN Special Edition (which has a fair chunk of upcoming Pro iCAN’s DNA in there) we wanted to do something really neat. With its also being Christmas, we are going to hit this competition out of the galaxy.
 
You head-fi’ers are cordially invited to be a part of this intergalactic launch competition.
 
 
micro iCAN Special Edition – with DNA from the Pro iCAN
 

 
 

• Headamp Turbo of 4000mW – almost as much power as the Death Star’s planet destroying superlaser. It is drives IEMs right through to the HE-6.
• Class A TubeState® - more refinement and finesse than Queen Amidala’s Nubian Star Skiff.
• XBass® - updated and more adaptable than the revered X-Wing fighter. With different bass settings it can go as low as an attack run to destroy the Death Star.  
• 3D Holographic for Headphones® - more spacious, as impressive as the the grand hall at the end of A New Hope.
• DirectDrive® - most direct path, just like the Millennium Falconmaking a jump to light speed

 
 
All in all, the micro iCAN Special Edition is a little special. We hope you are ready for it to take your headphones to Jedi master level.
 

 
This Christmas, the iFi/Meze Santa will deliver ‘Out of this Galaxy’ prizes to 10 lucky winners

The winners will be announced one week or so later.
 
The budding X-Wing pilots among you will have noticed we have joint up with Meze headphones. Over the coming weeks, they will contribute technical articles on the design of their fabulous headphones.
 
More still, everyday few days, one lucky winner will be chosen at random to win a special mystery prize from Meze or iFi audio.
 
Don your helmets and buckle-up. This competition is more exciting than a Rebel attack on the Death Star!
 
And of may the Force be with you all!

Getting my Star Wars Gear ready.

Somehow I was expecting an update of the iCan, but not such as great launch competition.
Thanks guys.

What a galactic upgrade in output power from 400mw to 4watts! Glad they kept the 2-level bass boost of the iCan Micro (the new iCan Pro has a fixed +3DB at different bass frequencies, that feature didn't trickle down).

I find your lack of faith disturbing....................

That's right Fatheracer  , I am definitely a sinner and I regret for my lack of faith 
How can I expiate my guilt and gain the admittance in the heaven of the music?

Sorry mate it's a Darth Vader quote and I was just trying to get into the Star Wars vibe........

Ooops! I forgot about that sentence in the movie, shame on me!

I need a urgent revision...

I can't believe how well Disney has stoked the Star Wars hype machine.  The last three Lucas scripted movies were execrable and still years later people are ready to line up for a film made by a director who has never made a good movie (or TV show).  In fact the director of the new Star Wars films is responsible for the two dumbest Star Trek movies in the history of the franchise.  Nostalgia is a scarily powerful thing.
 
P.S. The Micro Ican does look like a nice little amp.  I'm guessing it'll be a lot better than the upcoming film.

Is that a distant cousin of Chewie?  Good idea and good quote. That's the way to do it!
