iFi audio iSilencer+ and iDefender+
Hello @iFi audio I would like to plug a second iSilencer+ in my JCAT XE USB Card's spare port, but unfortunately the iSilencer+ is wider than the first version so I can't plug two of them at the same time. Would the second iSilencer+ still be effective if plugged in at the end of a short USB...- Berdugo

iFi audio iPower X - The Official Thread
Hi @iFi audio why isn't the iPower Elite available in 9v while the iPower X is ? I would have liked to try and power my iFi micro iUSB3.0 with it and it requires 9v.- Berdugo

iFi audio's SilentPower Collection: GND Defender, DC Blocker, Nova, and SupaNova!
Hello, I'm interested in the Supanova cable for its ANC 2 feature. I have a vintage amp that have its own non-removable power cable. It would still benefit from ANC 2 if I insert the Supanova between the wall outlet and the amp's cable with the following adapter, right ? (Wall outlet >...- Berdugo

iFi Groundhog+ (official) - vids added!
Hello @iFi audio, I have a vintage Luxman integrated amplifier (L-550) which does not have the typical 3-prong cable (it dates from 1982). Since the chassis has metal on it, it might not be safe, since the amp is not grounded. Would using the groundhog to ground the amp via an unused RCA socket...- Berdugo

Does anyone own the Pro-Ject Headbox Ds2 B
Yeah I agree with you about the noisy power supply. I did not test the AccuBox S2, but I bought an iFi DC iPurifier 2 and it cleaned the sound a lot. I wonder if using the AccuBox S2 and using it with the iPurifier 2 would be even better.- Berdugo

DC iPurifier2 - In Pursuit of Silence
In fact the "issue" remains, it was not a dc plug issue, it's just that the ambient temperature varied a lot lately, and the ip2 was getting really hot when it was 30°C outside. Now it's more like 20°C and the iP2 just gets quite warm, but not hot. Nevertheless, I'm a bit worried since summer is...- Berdugo

DC iPurifier2 - In Pursuit of Silence
I finally found out what happened : if I set the power supply's dc plug in a certain position, the ip2 no longer gets hot. In fact, I found out that my headphone amp's power supply's jack plug is not 2.5mm wide but 3mm. I did not even know those existed and they look awfully similar to 2.5mm, I...- Berdugo

DC iPurifier2 - In Pursuit of Silence
Has anyone noticed that the IP2 gets particularly hot with a 18v power supply ? I have no issue with 5v power supplies, but with two 18v DC power supplies (SMPS wall warts) I own (one is rated 0.5A and the other 1A, both centre pin positive of course), it gets quite hot in like 10 minutes. Not...- Berdugo

Does anyone own the Pro-Ject Headbox Ds2 B
Hi, I know your post is old but I wanted to know your impressions if you bought the DS2. I'm really curious about the fact that I only found one review of it on google (https://www.audioappraisal.com/pro-ject-headbox-ds2-b-headphone-amplifier-review/), and that pretty much nonobody talks about...- Berdugo

Reviews + impressions thread: Final Audio Design Pandora Hope VI (interesting dynamic + BA full size headphones)
I guess that if there is an improvement it will be hard to say where it comes from : the better quality cable, using the balanced output of my amp, both ? Either way, I will report here and let you know in a few days when I get my Zeno cable :)- Berdugo

Reviews + impressions thread: Final Audio Design Pandora Hope VI (interesting dynamic + BA full size headphones)
Hi, Are the Sonorous VI true balanced headphones ? I own them, but I never had asked myself that question. But now that I have a fully balanced DAC / amp with an XLR output I'm not using yet, I was thinking of replacing the stock headphone cable with Atlas Zenos with a balanced termination...- Berdugo
