Come join us in the Bent Tree II room on the main level of the Dallas Marriott Quorum for a series of interactive discussion panels with some of the industry’s leading experts in audio technology. Always entertaining, extremely engaging, and very informative, these seminars give you a behind the scenes look at the headphone audio industry like nothing else. Spaces are limited, so be sure to arrive early. See you there!


Going Beyond "One Number to Rule Them” - Measurements in Perspective
Saturday, November 11, 2023
2:00p to 3:00p
Schiit Audio's history with measurements includes being called “lazy, incompetent engineers,” buying not one but 11 audio analyzers, and then designing both spectacularly measuring gear and stuff that’s “downright scary bad.” Are we crazy? Or is it possible that a single, reductive number just can’t reflect actual listening levels, transient response, or the distortion of transducers. So how do we measure more, measure better, actually measure effectively, and then make that something meaningful to give us genuine perspectives on how things sound? Let’s find some answers.
SPEAKER: Jason Stoddard, Founder, Schiit Audio


DAC Architectures: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Saturday, November 11, 2023
3:00p to 4:00p
Although digital audio is ubiquitous these days, finding an optimal DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) remains a complicated, and often confusing, task. Join Rob Watts, Digital Design Consultant for Chord Electronics, as he explores the various DAC architectures commonly employed today, and breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of each. Finally, personal preferences aside, learn the objective criteria by which all digital-to-analog conversion methods should be judged for high fidelity audio applications.
SPEAKER: Rob Watts, Digital Design Consultant, Chord Electronics


How Interpolation Filters and Transients Crucially Affect Sound Quality
Saturday, November 11, 2023
4:00p to 5:00p
Join us for an invaluable hour of insight into how digital interpolation filters work. This seminar will cover: understanding the importance of interpolation filtering and transients; realizing just how much time domain performance can dictate fidelity and realism, and much more. If you didn’t understand any of that, and you are currently pursuing an endgame rig with a digital source, then this is one seminar you won’t want to miss.
SPEAKER: Rob Watts, Digital Design Consultant, Chord Electronics


It’s About Time
Sunday, November 12, 2023
2:00p to 3:00p
Advancements in semiconductor materials and MEMS fabrication techniques have resulted in a new class of transducer, called Piezo-MEMS. Piezo-MEMS μSpeakers have unique attributes and beneficial performance improvements over traditional inductive coil-based speakers. One notable new capability is time-domain resolution. Absolute and relative phase will be discussed in this technical primer, along with Piezo-MEMS theory of operation, design, fabrication, packaging, and testing. This presentation will be informative to audiophile consumers and product designers alike. Listening demos of xMEMS latest Audiophile IEMs will be provided.
SPEAKER: Michael Ricci, Sr. Director of Electroacoustic Engineering, xMEMS Labs, Inc.


Ask The Community AMA @ CanJam Dallas 2023!
Sunday, November 12, 2023
3:00p to 4:00p
For over twenty years, Head-Fi.org has been a community of voices first and fore- most, where the bulk of our insights have come from sharing experiences and educating each other. Join our fantastically varied panel of veteran Head-Fiers, reflecting a wide range of perspectives, for an open and entertaining discussion of all things related to head-fi, audio, and music! This panel will be particularly helpful if you’re new to Head-Fi or personal audio, as you’ll be getting some very direct answers to your direct questions about gear, recommendations, synergy, debatable topics (burn-in, cables, measurements, etc.), and more.
SPEAKERS: goldwerger, HiFiHawaii808, NovaFlyer, warrenpchi, Zachik

Is it too soon to book my flights and hotel room now, before CanJam SoCal (that I am already booked everything for)?

 

[AxelCloris]

It's only ever too early if you're booking before the discounted room block goes live. Never pay full rate if the CanJam rate is available.

Never.....

Unless you get the NovaFlyer rate

 

[Zachik]

Looking at flights - I may have a very reasonable option, but that would require staying until Mon. afternoon...
Anyone planning on continuing the fun into Monday?
Dallas locals: anything fun in that area that could be done on a Monday morning?

 

[SaveTheMantaRays]

This is a fantastic ideal. Anyone know if Sennheiser HE-1 (Orpheus) will be available for a listen?

I live 1 hour away from 2 amazing aquariums (San Francisco and Monterey)... Thanks for the suggestion though!

Warren - does that mean you'll join me for lunch on Monday?

I don't yet know if I'll be making the trip, but if I do, I'd be happy to buddy!

Since I was set to do all 4 domestic CanJams this year... flights and hotel are now booked for Dallas!!!
