[size=24.57px]Pro iCAN USA Tour - Starts here![/size]
Now onto the main subject......we're also excited to announce a Head-Fi exclusive tour of our Pro iCAN! We know that hearing is believing, so we're taking this opportunity to give some of you a chance to spend quality time with our Pro iCan!
What are we looking for?!
All we are looking for in our tour participants is enthusiasm and an honest review - preferably here on Head-Fi. Also, since this tour is being fronted by iFi USA, the event will be limited to U.S based members.
Alright, so now the big question is;
How do you sign up?!
It's easy! The only thing you'll need to do is respond to this thread with the following information:
1) Username
2) Location
3) Tell us the gear that you plan on connecting the Pro up to.
4) If you have any links from reviews that you've done, let us know!
Please note that the deadline for the sign-up process is 10/10/2016, and the individuals selected will be announced and contacted thereafter.
Rules for this Tour:
1) Five Head-Fiers will be selected to participate in this event.
2) Each Head-Fier will be given 2 weeks time to spend with the unit.
3) After the given amount of time has passed, each Head-Fier is responsible for safely packing the unit, shipping the unit to the next Head-Fier, and covering the shipping costs.
4) Each Head-Fier will be required to post a review of the Pro iCAN within 2 weeks of shipping the unit off to the next Head-Fier.
5) Otherwise, the most important thing is to kick back, have fun, and enjoy some of your favorite tunes through the Pro iCAN!
What is the Pro iCan?!
its the first flagship Professional ‘Pro’ series. A studio-grade headphone amplifier AND audiophile line-stage. Inside beats ‘two hearts’ as there is are two individual Solid-State and Tube amplification sections – selectable on the go. There is nothing quite like the Pro iCAN; literally.
Headphone amplifier: The Pro iCAN will for many, be used as a top-of-the-line, headphone amplifier that drives anything and everything – from CIEMs through to the most difficult to drive headphone ever made, the AKG K-1000.
Pre-amplfier: The Pro iCAN has at the core, a Japan Alps motorised rotary volume potentiometer. This is the ‘6-Track’ version with 4 tracks used for a true balanced volume control. This is the litmus test for any amplifier to see if it is truly balanced, or operates internally in single-ended mode. Those using ‘2-Track’ volume controls may offer balanced in and out, but are not true balanced designs. The Pro iCAN however is fully-balanced from beginning to end.
Solid State & Tube state on fly: For the first time, one can enjoy both the sound of Solid-State and Tubes in a single package (rather than as an ‘Effect Type’ add-on within an otherwise conventional solid-state design) and be able to switch in real-time. For some recordings and headphones/loudspeakers, Solid-State may sound ‘more lively.’. For others, Tube and Tube+ (especially Tube+) will sound more ‘luxurious.’ Select the one that sounds best for that particular moment, be it the recording, the mood or even the weather. After all, enjoying music is an experience to be savoured and not a scientific research exercise.

Best of luck and we look forward to hearing from you all!

Unfortunately, the number of review units we have are limited!
