Has anyone compared the Zen pair with the older Ican/idac?

Hello Ian, Big thanks for making my new cable for my Hifiman HE-1000v2. It’s mogami wire, beautifully wrapped in silver-grey, Eidolic plugs top n bottom. Great price and super fast build n delivery. Highly recommended cheers mate 👍😎

Thanks very much mate

Ok guys since no one has replied to my previous two posts Perhaps you First Watt J2 owners would care to tell what ballanced pre-amp they would recommend?   I use a Passive pre 'AKUSTYK' and wondering how it would perfom with an FW-J2   Hopefully, yours truly Alexx 

Anyone tried the 6's with older Brit amps like the Linn's, Naim or Audio Synthesis?

Hi Guys,   I am looking at buying a pair of Linn LK280 special customised mono power amps. These are normally 80wpc in stereo form so I pressume this pair are 80W from each amp @ 8ohms, which should provide my 6's with around 10WPC @ 50ohms.   My question is has anyone tried the He-6's...

hello again, having selected the correct switch to balanced outputs everything is tickity boo, thanks for all of your help guys now driving my Hifiman He-6's from the speaker taps off the Roksan M2 fed with the M51 from my laptop through coaxial Audiophellio2 very pleased with what i'm...

AAAARG your right DUH! I cant test again untill Saturday, i'll let you know Thanks mate Alex

mmm .... sorry not getting it, it'll take a wee while to sink in lol I'm an old guy and a bit slow on the up take. please explain why at 0db i hear nothing through my old floorstanders (Definitive tech. Mythos1) and at 10db it's still only barely audible? thanks

Yes I had the amp hooked up to the M51 I'll try taking your advice and drop it to -40db before switching the power amp on Is it just me or what other kind of digital pre-amp behaves like this LOL Thanks

Hello guys I'm new to this forum, I could use some help, I've reset the M51 to factory settings but I can't get the volume to go above +10db. where-as it goes to -90db ? I want to test the pre-amp driving my Roksan Caspian M2 power amp. I'll be very grateful for a pointer apologies if this...

Hi, laptop to NAD M51 balanced xlr's

hello, I know this a very old post of yours but thing is I have he6's and have tried various amps Inc ef6 which to me sounded alright, however I got the chance to buy a used Raggy but the thing is I'm trying very hard to like it and I want to like it BUT I don't know if it's faulty or what is...

Hi thanks for that 1974 but guess what, I've gone and done just that. I stumped for a pre and power combo full size - Chord and Roksan M2 @ 85 wph 8ohms can't test em yet 'cause im waiting for new Headphone cable and taps adaptor from Bob of 'stinky' Let you all know how I get on. Now I have...

Cheers for that 1974

I will eventually do the power speaker amp thing but I like to do it incrementally, I've a guy waiting on me agreeing to buy his Taurus. Im needing to know how much better if any then hifiman ef-6. So I'd greatly appreciate your impressions on my list of amps and also dacs please

How do you rate the Auralic Taurus 2 vs Ragnarok vs Mjolnir2 vs EF-6 ........... 1st 2cd 3rd 4th driving 6's And Vega vs Yggdrasil vs Gungnir Multibit   I think I know you'll much prefer the Schiit gear but finding second hand Schiit gear 230V is proving impossible, however there are lots of...

Thanks for that suggestion

  Pardon my ignorance but what is a Tribute AVC? I'm guessing it's a pre-amp to control your Krell

Yes I know what you're saying an Ef-6 is not an end game for me but it's probably the best i've heard the 6's. I had to sell my last dac which was ifi idsd micro along with HE-560's and I'm using a stand in fubar2 so I want a better dac to begin with and then later I'll sort the amp side. If...

any stand alone usb dac recommendations please anyone ss or tube or hybrid, (must have 230v option) i'd go to around $1800 in the used market

Fair enough, thanks for that cheers
