Hello guys,
This will be my first Canjam and I’m just wondering what are some general tips for a first timer?
I’m likely gonna only be there for Saturday and I also luckily need to attend the HE-1 listening session that afternoon, so my time is kinda limited, whereas I have never listened to most of the gears on exhibit, meaning there’s a LOT I wanna try. Specifically, my focus will be to
1. Try most hiend headphones, especially planars and estats
2. Try my HD800 on totl amps and especially tube amps
3. Try a few DAPS, but I’m not interested in getting new IEMs so that’s a big blessing to my time management.
questions:
1. what kind of audio source do most exhibitors provide? My guess is Roon-Tidal/Qobuz mostly. But is CD still a thing there? Cuz I’m using a CD player as my source and it’d be best to compare show items under similar conditions. If so I’ll bring some CDs with me.
2. Just how noisy is it in the venue? I heard it could significantly affect your listening experience.
3. Is it better to come early or stay late? (Best scenario is ofc both
4. Feel free to add!
Thank you guys and can’t wait to see you on Saturday!

Qobuz, some will have a limited selection of local digital music but it sucks. Best to bring your own DAP or portable CD player, plus any cables to hook up. HE1 is Tidal, I believe. When you're walking up with the others in your group, decide what order you're going to listen in. When it's your turn, you have like 5 minutes. Make sure you know what you're going to listen to ahead of time.1. what kind of audio source do most exhibitors provide? My guess is Roon-Tidal/Qobuz mostly. But is CD still a thing there?

These guys get rowdy when they see headphones.2. Just how noisy is it in the venue? I heard it could significantly affect your listening experience.
From the few times I've been, late Saturday and early Sunday are quiet. There are also lulls during the day, usually around lunchtime.3. Is it better to come early or stay late? (Best scenario is ofc both
I do a quick listen to everything, then go back and spend more time if I had a good initial impression of something. If someone is waiting on something, I'll usually cut my listening a little short so every one has a chance to hear the stuff.4. Feel free to add!

bring a cable with dual XLR or dual RCA that connects to your player on the other end, so you can connect directly to exhibitor amps
