DAC mini will be shipping soon. Here is a teaser:

And the surprise is.... No. (Slapping himself on the hand). Patience, young Skywalker. :)

Awesome pic btw ;)

Come hear HiFi-M8 and Ampersand at Axpona this weekend, April 22-24. Who's in Chicago?

What's the issue with the Shure?

How about low gain setting?

We reviewed the email and agree with you. It's about the power loops in the system, most likely. Sadly, no product is immune to this and with computer setups you need to be careful to use outlets that are closest together.

No, it doesn't. It's almost impossible to determine if a pause in the music is intentional :)

The Charging LED is somewhat independent of the 3 battery level LEDs. Charging happens whether the unit is on or off. But the battery LEDs are only on if the unit is on. They are turned off when the unit is off, in order to avoid unnecessarily draining the battery with the lights. So turn the...

Based on comments by Warren Chi, would anyone be interested in a bundle that contains HiFi-M8, Ampersand, HEDD cans and balanced interconnects? Obviously, at a way better price compared to buying these things individually... Let me know!

Glad you like the sound. I will cook up a better cover, with LED holes. Thank you for the suggestion!

Many thanks for your comments. Really appreciated!

How about this? https://centrance.com/store/DACport-HD-p53351211 Right now we have 20% off for Valentine's Day on anything in the store, so the DAC is almost free through Monday. Coupon code VDAY20. mention this thread and we will throw in this cable for free...

The headphone amp on DACport Pro is not colored, so it's a safe choice for line out.

All pre-ordered units will be out the door by EOD tomorrow. This feels good.

We just got these and there is plenty of power. With Ampersand, in a balanced configuration HEDD can get uncomfortably loud, so you will need to turn it down. Another one checked off the list. So far, we have confirmed reports of great performance with Stealth, Susvara, Ananada, HE-6...

Leave it Warren to deliver the punch line! ;)

Thank you Larry. Coming from you this means a lot! Thank you also for your honest and relentless feedback about the earlier prototype. I had to redesign the whole thing pretty much from scratch to address your suggestions, and while I hated myself during that process, it came out much better in...

We are checking now. I ordered a pair from DCA.

What's the model of headphones you have?

Hey everybody, firstly, Happy New Year! May it bring more joy and excitement than 2021. Should hopefully be easy to do :) Now, on to Ampersand. We have received the shipment and put the new units on the bench. Let me get this out of the way: We have demonstrated 6W output with 48...50 Ohm...

Most recently, we are getting 6W out of Ampersand. Were able to optimize it further following CANJAM learnings. Since there is no digital and no BT inside the Ampersand, the power supply isn't working so hard compared to M8. This means that more power is available for the amp. So for DC...

Thank you, this is very valuable. Have passed along to the team, we are chewing on this. Meantime, demos and show impressions coming soon from CANJAM!

The trick is to determine what level of output voltage represents "loud enough" for the vast majority of folk and across the vast majority of headphones. We know that HiFi-M8 is just about on the edge for some people. So it's reasonable to say that we don't need to double what it can do, as that...
