Does anyone knows what chips is used in the International? Or does anyones even knows the full technical specifications of the International? Why ALO Audio did not publish any tech specs at all?

Cirrus Logic CS4398...
 
I think the old version of ALO's site had more specs.  Anyways, I got that from the headfonia review...

So is it confirmed that the output impedance of the International is 22ohms? Or was it 32ohms? I am confused...

22ohms.

 

[freesurfer]

Is this 22ohms issue too bad for use with IEMs? Have anyone had an experience using this amp/dac with IEMs?

 

[midnightwalker]

Not that bad. I can't say it is best match with the SM64/JH16/K3003i/LCD but it drives them well. Punchy bass, great PRaT.

ALO posted a video on facebook, announcing that iDevices running IOS7 will all play via the CCK/USB.  Which means it will use DAC in the International...

Hi All,
 
Its true, and good news!! the International amp/DAC now pulls the digital stream off iPhones using the new iOS 7 with any CKK kit ! Yippie!
 
Let your ears be the judge. 
 
Thanks,

Fantastic! Super excited that my investment in an International can now be used with my iPhone. It's not that I don't like my AK100, but rather I now have choices:
 
AK100 by itself
AK100 with ALO International (International DAC bypassed)
iPhone 5 with ALO International (International DAC in use)
 
Awesome!

Ken,
 
It might be a good idea to share the part number of the Camera Connection Kit, as there are multiple "camera" cables on Apple's site.
 
Thanks

22ohms.

 
Really? That's ridiculous! Why did they do this?
