@amanieux I haven't heard any GSM noise from it yet, but I also don't stream music from the Internet much. I wanted to fix this potential problem by wrapping it in some Faraday mesh (metal mesh) to have it look better than foil and still have the glass window look but my Ali delivery with the...

@n00kie Late to the party, but I would say you shouldn't assume that works correctly if the next amp you're plugging into isn't fully balanced. I plugged the BAL output of my KA17, without thinking too much, into the RCA-ins of the energizer of my ESP/95X electrostatics, and the stage became...

BTW, wrt. current generation ability I'm finding this on Amazon: As these things are usually specified for rechargeables, it's all referenced to the battery's rated capacity C, so in this case the PKCell rep is telling us the battery is able to put out 3C = 3*350 = 1050 mA for short bursts, and...

@inscythe Of course it would all be a kitchen top test procedure, but I'd estimate a high probability that the SE-out will not be the one pushing against the battery's limits - so it will likely produce the loudness it should for 100 mW -, while the BAL-out might, if there's any current drive...

@inscythe Oh, cool then, that would give everyone more hope of being able to find adequate spare batteries easily. When you think about it, the old heat-intolerant and fussy Cobalt chemistry was preferred precisely for its high energy density, so one would assume when looking at a battery with...

@inscythe Have you been able to tell if the Nano really puts out close to 220 mW into 32 ohms via BAL-out when powered by those PKCells? I notice they're ICR chemistry, meaning traditional Cobalt-based Li-Ion, meaning they shouldn't do high discharge currents that well. The stock cell is said to...

[never mind]

I can't believe no one has thought to compare it with the original M0.
