I use this set up in my office and the Inspire IHA-1 sounds absolutely wonderful with the Ether 2. I highly recommend the pairing. So smooth and liquid with surprisingly good bass. I have spent a lot of hours recently listening to this pairing while I am working at home. It replaced the Utopia...

I stand corrected! :) I will attempt to pronounce it correctly with this dang Midwest accent!

I would really like to know the answer to this as well. And I was wondering if Dan received his iESL yet! If so can you let us know what you think of it. Does it color the sound of the VOCE, or alter the sound you are hearing from a dedicated electrostatic amp? I continue to use it with my...

Yes, iFi is certainly conservative with their recommmendations. All of my headphone amps have powered the VOCE quite well and each brings a different sound. I’m looking forward to hearing others experiences with the iESL and I can’t wait to get a dedicated electrostatic amp to see how that...

I have had a few weeks with my VOCE and It seems to have gotten even better! Still neutral but with such definition and clarity. It’s fun to listen to and really shows the differences between sources and amps. If you are interested in the ifi iESL then I strongly recommend that you purchase a...

So a few more days of listening and I am still enjoying it very much. I have found myself listening to stuff I normally wouldn't like bluegrass and jazz of all things and enjoying it! Just listening to the timber and sound of the instruments is really fun. i would still call this a neutral...

This is a much more elegant way of saying what i was trying to get it. Thanks!

I think we all look forward to the next step in the process, and im pretty sure the blue hawaii outclasses the iesl/rag setup I have. Always looking forward to the future! :)

Thanks for the fast reply! That's too bad though... maybe some day they will look at it again. They have a way of making great products for a lot less then what other companies would charge!

I just received my new Mrspeakers VOCE electrostatic headpohones which I am running from my YGGY/Rag setup into an ifi-iESL. Has Schiit ever spoken about doing an electrostat amp?? I love their products and would love to keep my schiit stack!

Yesterday afternoon my VOCE arrived! A big thank you to Mrspeakers for shipping the headphones early. Hopefully the box will follow soon. I spent several hours last night and again today listening. I am new to electrostats and this has been such a real treat. First just to get it out of the...

Slow down man! One at a time... But be careful it only gets worse from here :L3000:

Many (most?) people prefer the sound of multibit over a sigma-delta DAC. The music sounds more lifelike, without the sharp treble (although this is much better with more recent DS chips).

This is very interesting. I know Schiit said for a while that the R2R component was too large to fit into a Jot but I guess they made it happen. I think people will really like the multibit DAc / Jot combo vs the Saber!

I have a Liquid Carbon 2.0 which I bought close to the launch of the second round. This worked perfectly until i was listening during a pretty gentle rain shower and the power flickered of and on a few times and then stayed off. I unplugged my equipment and after the power came back on there was...
