Hello. Has the tour stopped? Is there a current US distributor that allows audition to make a determination? I'm interested in the iha-6 amp.

"so it never happens in the retail version" - it was bought in Poland in certificated shop.
I have bild.

Just verified that AudioMagic has imported two sets of iDAC-6/iHA-6 from us on Dec 2015,
So my information is incorrect, I apologize.
I am still trying to track down how many sets like these has been sold to public back in 2015. It is tough when I was told that my previous in-house information is incorrect, I'll make sure we do better then this in the future.
But I don't believe this version of iHA-6 is still available in December 2017, so for those who are planning to purchase iHA-6 now, please understand the risk if they were to buy from China and "expect" there will be a voltage switch on the back.
Sorry, I have last question, because I don't understand everything very well. Bought I not for official - sale version? Version for test and to certify?
I didn't buy it in China, I bought at Poland Distributor.

Just got my IHA-6 in the mail today. Just to preface, I had been thinking about getting rid of my LCD3 because it just wasn't doing it for me... until I plugged them into this amp. This Cayin versus my Schiit Lyr is no contest. Review coming soon after more time spent, but it definitely gave new life to the LCD3 for me.

Wow, that's a very good start, can't wait to read your full review. I am sure that will be an interesting read.
The iHA-6 is indeed under-rated, maybe its too small in size (yes, size does matter), maybe it priced too low (couldn't draw the attention), or maybe because it is not wearing a big name badge, but I have yet to meet an unhappy iHA-6 customer so far. I have people coming back to me requesting improvement on iDAC-6 and iDAP-6, but not with iHA-6. Well, the only comment we received is whether we can come out with an iHA-8 later at double the price and yet maintain the same competitive edge at its class, that says a lot for something that has been in the market for two years already.

The iHA-6 is a very versatile headphone amplifier because there a lot of options available to users, and you'll almost certainly find the ideal setting for your headphone.
For instance, Cayin has provided some basic measurements at 32ohm loading to illustrate the power rating of iHA-6. The complete story is actually a lot more complicated then that. Upon request of several users, Cayin has decided to disclose the full details of power rating measurements at different setting and loading. If you read these carefully, you'll be amazed by the comprehensive options and capability inside that 10 sq. inches footprint.

Best Desktop Solid State Amp 2017: Cayin iHA-6
I reviewed both the iHA-6 and iDAC-6 as a system back in August of this year and they are marvelous together but I had a very special feeling about the iHA-6 and come the end of 2017 I have not changed my mind.
If I hunt around I can see the iHA-6 selling now for $699 and that is an absolute bargain for a very powerful and accomplished desktop headphone amp. Perhaps better value than the Gungnir, one of my all-time favorites.
This is a very refined solid state amp with both balanced, unbalanced, high and low impedance factoring and a host of inputs worthy of a headphone amp at a much higher price. It is not that big either and very well put together.
Most importantly its very transparent and DAC changes are reflected in the sound which I just love. The dynamic range and power output of 7W balanced are just perfect for beefy planar cans such as the #Susvara and #HE6 but at the same time, it is nuanced enough to cope even with IEMs. I have more expensive amps but the iHA-6 gets the most use on a daily basis and for a very good reason.
