Prior to the Gryphon I had the HFM signature stack in demo at the store. It was terrible and decided within 30 seconds this is not the route. I used music from: In This Moment. Strangly enough the rock guitars nearly dissapeared in the soundstage. The Zen air dac/ air can combo was not in...

For me, the Griphon has some cons I didn't notice on the xCan tough they are slightly similar: -bigger, heavier -With protective case the volume knob is harder to turn -The XSpace is nihil -The XBass+ is too much -Menu is simple .screen has no additional value. would have been nice to have some...

Turned out Samsung crops to 44k. I purshased the app and a test file 44kHz and 96kHz from sony website. When USB linked to Gryphon shows both khz when playing the files yet I struggle to hear the difference between them and spotify... and bluetooth! Just turned 50 but I expected my hearing to...

A While back I purshased a Samsung A42 5G. Mainly because of the 1Tb SD card slot and 5000mAh battery. The Gryphon uses aptx. Unfortunately, My Sundara blew a Dragonfly Cobalt on a demo and an other suggested dongle LOL!! Reason I went for an xCan but the Bluetooth/DAC chip blew after 6 months...

IMO the Gryphon is a bit quirky. It sounds best without xbase and Xbass+ which has a button on front but a slider at the back as well which doesn't seem to do a lot when the leds are not activated by the front button. As I'm only using the volume knob it seems to be quite pricy not using the...

On internet are pictures available of the print. There one can see the plug connections are not soldered too well. I was considering to open it up and resolder direct after purshase as a precaution but didn't. For me this turned out "well" because it proved the xCan isn't designed to cope the...

You might consider the Ifi Gryphon as well for a future purshase. Yes it is more expensive as the GoBlu but I had my Sundara fry the xCan after 8 months of use (the bluetooth/Amp chip quit). The Gryphon's power makes the Sundara punch very tight because of the power output. The downside is one...

I purshased a demo version of the Sundara and bench listened with a Dragonfly Cobalt. This device got toasted by the Sundara which was the reason to buy the xCan. Recently, the xCan had a bluetooth connecting issue and was totalled under warranty by my dealer. Having an Ibasso CF01+iem, I...

Depends on the current output of your charger. Because the cell is a permanent fix in the shell you may consider to use a 9W charger instead of fast charging to extend the lifespan of your xCan. A full charged xCan does exceed well the listening sessions with my Sundara multiple times. I...

You're best bet seems it's a warranty issue... The good news is you still can go wired. :sweat_smile: Still love my CF01/LZ-A7 combo.

The Ifi cannot add warmth. It is not a DAC. For this reason it's exellent for the Sundara.

Have a search in the Ifi calculator.

Ibasso DC01, DC02, DC03, DC04. Their website is not the best. Prices are reasonable IMO. REad some reviews first. I believe the DC01 was neutral. I run my Sundara Single ended. I do not have a 2.5mm connector but don't need the extra power and possible additional hiss. Not sure now if the BT...

If you want a wired connection you might consider an Ibasso DAC as well. They seem to be neutral and slight warm (2 versions available) but at entry cost. I do not experience low output with my Samsung and Sundara+xCan wired. I stay a few clicks under red light to be max as comfortable but feel...

If only it is legal to get her on track... It's street legal tough:scream: thx!
