It has enough juice to drive these cans, that's for sure. But you might want to take a look our red newcomer positioned above iDSD Signature



iDSD Diablo was designed as a transportable device, so it needed something mechanically more robust than USB-C

Ah yes the diablo. Does that one have a better sound than the signature? Must admit the signature attracts me because of its apparently very good with sensitive iems too

Our Diablo is faster, more neutral, resolving and in general different, but most folks who compared them agree that it sounds better. I'll stop here though, I don't want to hijack this thread

be a little careful if you like low volume listening. My micro BL, even on low with ultra IEMatch on is far too loud for lots of stuff because of the channel imbalance befor 9 oclock (something kinda enharent to analogue volume pots that arent like $400). It is a great device other than that though

Did anyone compare Topaz with IFI iDSD BL/Signature/Diablo??

I had all of them. I still have Diablo. Topaz has more tube like sound less analytic ifi’s stuff more resolution and bigger soundstage and power.

Oh, thanks for the quick response. Did you also have experience with WA8 Eclipse? =)

Unfortunately but I’m sure it should has warm sound signature.

Thanks, very useful info

Has anyone compares this to the new Ifi Diablo in terms of sound signature and synergy etc?
Paired with HD800S but contemplating utopia or clear mg or lcd-4z

 

[Tanalasta]

This is perhaps a silly question. Is there a trick to getting the WA11 to charge using just a standard USBC cable plugged into a MacBook Pro or do I need to use a specific charger or cable. Can’t quite get it to charge unless I do.

Edit: Worked it out. Need a special OTG cable which isn't easy to find for USB-C <-> USC-C connection.

Now that would be a very interesting match!

Listening out of the unbalanced vanilla quarter inch headphone out.
And thoroughly enjoying how it drives the Empyrean. I've only listened for about an hour or two this afternoon ... and I'm thoroughly enjoying the richness of the timbre and dynamics from this pairing.

Sorry for the bump.
does the m11 pro have a 5 pin grounded 4.4mm output or will I need to get a cable with the appropriate grounding?

The Fiio M11 Pro? Yes, I remember asking the same exact question, its 4.4mm output does have the 5th pole connected to ground. So you'll need a 4.4mm to 4.4mm cable interconnect with the 5th pole connected.
