ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion
Dec 1, 2016 at 3:46 PM Post #437 of 2,267
  Hi guys,
 
Slightly off-topic, but I'm not getting much help from other sources. Those of you who use line inputs, what cables can you recommend? I'm beginning to think replacing the stock cables might actually yield a noticeable SQ improvement.
Thanks!

 I use Monoprice premium cables.

Got my ICan Pro bundled with LCD3's from Adorama on a black Friday deal and just started listening today... OMG I love this combo, and finally understand what people mean when they say endgame setup.
Unbelievable sound makes me want to re-listen to my entire music collection! Really happy...

Ain't this setup a blast ?

I know the IDSD is coming... but how about just an IDAC Pro?

Has anyone tried out this amp with the Focal Utopia? I'd be interested in this as an 'endgame' (for me) amp and the Focal Utopia as an 'endgame' headphone, and then maybe replacing my Bifrost MB with an Yggy at some point and just being 'done'.

Endgame? that implies and end. I'm not sure that is possible. 
 
"Half time pause" might be better nomenclature :)

I havent but if I had the Utopia that would be the pairing I want. 
 
The Utopia will benefit from everything the pro has going for it. Especially those times you want more bass the pro bass boost is perfect for the Utopia. I honestly can't imagine a better headphone for the Pro because its low impedance, slightly bright, dynamic, clear, deep, and detailed.

i'm using the HD800S and iCan Pro with a Yggdrasil and Marantz SA8005 as source. it's quite the endgame setup for me and i'm thoroughly satisfied. the only add-ons i might consider for later is the ifi dsd pro, the ifi estat unit, and a pair of stax headphones.

I just got my hd800S and love them on the pro Ican. Wow

Bimmer, how does the Ican compared to your NOS11 amp?
