Do you just need to "jailbreak" or do you need to install right after a specific app or do something? Is there a way to know you actually bypass the iphone limitation via a test or an app (kind of before/after test)?

Honestly, I can hear any difference except on the bass maybe (best rendering with the toxic)

After a long wait, I finally put my hands on the precious... Actually I agree to say it is so small!! You can't figure out how a so small unit can be able to deliver so much power!! The build is ok, looks strong: no apparent problem: tubes are little bit left sided into their places but aren't...

Speaking of the Pan Am, CNet from Steve Guttenberg: " When I had started listening with my computer I was using the AudioQuest Dragonfly USB digital-to-analog converter feeding the Pan Am's analog input. The sound was wonderful, but when I switched over to the amp's internal DAC, the sound was...

Quote: Burning process is making the SQ even better but from the start you should already have a good quality... maybe you got some issues regarding your usb cable or usb port??

Pan Am + Passport unit ordered!! My LCD-2 can't wait! ;)

I just ordered the Pan Am as I know it´s a great synergie with my LCD-2 + portable + tube rolling... Anyway thank you bigsby for your review and discussion ;)

Quote: You're right but the choice isn't this big: russian (20$) or electro harmonix (50$) or WE ($$$$$); The Pan Am compatible tubes are a lot more (and affordable too)

Quote:   AFAIK there are only Sovtek or Electro Harmonix 6C45 tubes available; that's why i'm saying the rolling will be poor...

Quote: from Cnet: "It’s warm and vibrant but not dark, and open with great detail and soundstage, transparent, and POWERFUL.  Not Schitt or EF5/6 powerful, but at least 3x more power than my WA6 (maybe as much as the WA6 SE?)." Actually with these specifications I don't know why i'm...

WA7 vs Pan Am driving the LCD-2: that would be a great fight! (with Mullard CV4010 on one hand and Electro Harmonix 6C45 one the other) 

tell us more about the french CIFTE tubes...

Seems like nobody here posted this video of one month ago at RMAF, showing Alex Rosson with the new prototype and talking about a mid-2013 release... Wait & see! http://vimeo.com/51569553

It´s here and now: http://s.ameblo.jp/e-earphone/entry-11418115918.html Available for 99900¥

Here is mine; got it since 4 days To sum up, let's say, as I'm no expert at all, that it makes the whole thing much better: in terms of amplification and SQ; I'm not such a fan of the "surround" button as I don't like the original sound to be transformed... The mariage with my SH Amperior is...

Quote: I'm sorry but the Go-Dap X does decode the iDevice signal has it is a DAC and Amp unit (sticked together but DAC for sure)

Here is what VentureCraft staff has to say about the difference between: "   The only difference other than the color between Go-Dap X(Red) and Go-Dap X(Black) is the mounted operational amplifier. Go-Dap X(RED) has MUSES8920[NJR] whereas Go-Dap X(Black) has Burr-Brown OPA2134[TI]. An...

Thanks both of you for the advices  I'll go for the red unit! I just sent a mail to VentureCraft about their homemade cable (Lightning) to know if they can provide it with the unit.. (7000 yens if i'm not wrong..) If it's not possible i've found Double Helix Cables site: they build at your own...

A few questions to the lucky owners of the Go Dap X: - how many hours using this unit with an iDevice (battery autonomy)? - will the elastic bands fit to an Iphone5 as there is no space between the button and the screen of the phone?? Or where can you buy the leather case pictured above (few...
