    CanJam NYC 2023 Impressions Thread (February 25-26, 2023)

    some quick observations before dinner: 1. EAR micro blew me away with their T10, which are wireless and have the DAC and DSP in the tiny earpieces. The soundstage was fantastic on everything I heard. Their focus, besides sound, is the luxury market with custom charger units that have to be...

    CanJam NYC 2022 Impressions Thread (February 26-27, 2022)

    What stats were being used with Kerry's T2 and babyT2 amps? I've been very impressed with his amps at past local NJ/NY shows. (feeling sad i couldn't be there..............)

    will the phone output burn in at all by playing the LO (which i normally use in the car)? it would have power applied but nothing terminating the phone out signal path.

    has anyone else seen this? i've had a few occasions where i've selected a folder to play (containing an album), and the song sequence does not go through everything but repeats a track i've already heard. this is in mango, i haven't checked with uapp yet.

    absolutely. in my car system, i use the amp12 LO into a Jensen PO-2XR which takes balanced in (XLR) and provides unbalanced out (RCA). i have it wired up in the car now, though i have not yet installed/hidden the extra hardware required to convert the balanced LO (see photo). the balanced out...

    @anyone with a amp12W When you modified the amp12, did you find your favorite filter changed or stayed the same? And which filter(s)?

    Has anyone done a comparison, using the same music files on board the dx300 versus using the dx300 as a USB DAC?

    I had a very similar experience here. With my JH13 iems, with balanced silver dragon wire, I was able to compare the single ended versus balanced phone outputs for amp11, with the balanced clearly superior. Last night I installed my amp12 and the balanced phone output took a huge jump in...

    one more question before i order something :) the jensen pi-2xr goes balanced to unbalanced with, i believe, no signal level change the jensen pc-2xr goes balanced to unblanced with, i believe, conversion from +4dBm to -10dBm which would be a better match for the amp12 going to the aux line in...

    I am moving up the DAP food chain to an iBasso dx300 and am selling my fiio x7mk2 with the AM3B amplifier, which provides both 4.4mm balanced output and 3.5mm single ended output.

    do you have any observations regarding the LO of the 11.2 and 12?

    I just took my dx300 out to the car on a pizza run. With single ended line out, it was amazing, with non of the "not yet broken in" harshness I heard with amp11/PO and JH13 iems. A real no-brainer, soundstage, solidity, bass, detail all vastly superior to LO with my x7mk2 (which will now go on...
