Post deleted - didn't realise it had been sold!!!

Does anyone know how the CMA15 compares to the Ifi Ican Pro Signature amp? From reading the thread it seems to have more power, but I don't think that we'll be an issue for me. I'm considering upgrading my CMA600, if the price is right (and drops after the release of the CMA18).

Has anyone tried connecting the Z/A2 to an external DAC/Amp combo? If so, does it play nice, as v1.07 made it difficult /erratic?

Don't get me wrong, I wish you all the best. Glad you are trusting someone experienced/competent in these matters, but it seems like a huge risk compared to the potential pay off. I can see you've considered stacking / using an Amp etc which seems more sensible to me. I don't think I'd ever be...

Are you nuts? Don't you run the risk of f*^€$#g up the DAP? Presumably this would be irreversible?

Thanks, never heard of them before.

CMA Eighteen Master now listed on Questyle's website. Also on Ali Express M15i and M12i and CMA18 Portable and the new Ear phones/DAC. @Questyle Any dates on general release, e.g the UK?

I sold mine to (part) fund the A2.

On my computer, which may also act in the same way for the A2, with Apple Music if you stream it, the music will play in hi-res/lossless, but if you play it from download it will be 256 AAC File. In short, try the difference in streaming from Apple Music vs Spotify.

Product specs don't mention a mic, so I would assume not. https://www.jadeaudio.com/?_l=en

@FiiO @FiiO Kang Are there any plans for a balanced 4.4mm version of the KA11 for the iPhone? I'm very much liking the dimensions/small size of the KA11 as I don't like attaching a bigger dongle to my phone (looking at you KA3!).

Oh, I thought that might be the case. That makes it more complicated. Can you take it back to the store? They should have checked that it was operational? They might be able to contact the seller for the details?

Have you tried contacting the person you bought it from and asked for the PIN code?
