I am still waiting for mine to come
Looking forward to hearing Maurice's Andromeda at Can jam, but wondering if I love it, why is their no distribution in UK? It was same with Pono a year ago when I wanted to buy. Is there likely to be in the future?
No it's source dependent in the reference being used. Andromeda is very sensitive to output impedance. Any and all amount are aurally detectable. I believe someone measured the stock cable as 0.7 ohms of impedance, so ad that to your source Z and you'll have the total impedance affecting Andromeda's signature. More impedance lowers overall bass levels due to the Andromeda impedance graph dropping to about 4 ohms in bass according to measurements I've seen. That is super sensitive and in a general sense, all sources will sound different, since every source has its own output Z.
QP1R and the Fiio both have less than 1 ohm output impedance, so they should sound 'similar'. But a Sony ZX2 at roughy 2 ohms will sound a little leaner and a iPhone 6S+ at 3.3 ohms leaner still.
So I just got lucky?

As a follow up to my earlier posts in this thread trying to get in contact with CA.
Tried calling Campfire and ALO Audio and have been sending them emails, putting in support tickets. Nothing. I know ALO is a very well respected business but it would be very nice if they responded to questions, orders and phone calls. Or left a message on their websites and automated replies about being away. If anybody has more info that would be great. Thanks.
Just gave them a call and got VM. I'd be happy to try and reach out to them via phone to save you the international call charges if you'd like.
