Where in Europe you can buy idac 6 mkII

I plan to get a iHA-6 (with my Mojo as input signal) : how is the pairing ?
I feel that iHA-6 used in balanced mode is a real bargain given the power and transparancy it can provide.

IMO the overall sound signature will just like your Mojo, with better bass, soundstage and imaging.

Edit: Hmm i think it will be a bit brighter as the mojo's signature is pretty warm

Cayin will join CanJam SoCal later this Saturday (19-20 March), we'll display the IHA-6 in the event. If you are coming to CanJam, please drop by and check out the iHA-6. Trust me, you got to give it a try before you can image how far can this little headphone amplifier goes, so bring your headphones and come to Cayin booth to see if you can give the iHA 6 a hard time.

I plan to get iHA-6, what is the line voltage recommended (2v, 3v, etc) for RCA inputs?

I think the universal standards are 2V for RCA and 4V for XLR. But, when I use XLR to feed power from my Aune S6 Pro instead of RCA, my volume on the iHA-6 is relatively the same before. Is it usually the case, as the XLR voltage of the DAC is double its RCA power.

Definitely 2V, that's the standard line in level we assumed when we design iHA-6. Some users reported that they prefer 3V input when using iHA-6 for really really difficult headphones such as Abyss 1266 and AKG K1000, but I would say that's kind of extreme condition.

One of the strength of iHA-6 is the build in bridge-tied load (BTL) circuit that convert single end input to balanced before feeding into the amplification circuit, that will allow you top enjoy full potential of the iHA-6 with both RCA and XLR input. This is an important feature if you want to use a single-ended output DAC with a fully differential design amplifier.

Hmm why my XLR output of the Aune reported as 4 Vrms but I don't find more power, my volume pot was still the same when I feed it with RCA.

That is normal,
XLR is designed to operate at 4 to 6v while RCA uses around 2v, the final volume is matched to be the same.

So that is normal that my volume position doesn't change switching between RCA & XLR? I thought that operate at 4V XLR will benefit in terms of power to my amplifier New lessons every day, thanks.

Hello Andy, for HE6se do we have to set low gain or high gain ? Thx

 

[cfranchi]

I have an HE6se on order and plan to get iHA-6. Do you know if my Chord Mojo would be a good candidate as a DAC for the iHA-6 (Mojo -> RCA inputs) ?

 

[cfranchi]

Also Cayin iHA-6 or Cayin HA-1A mk2 for Hifiman HE6se ?

Hi, I am trying out a Cayin iHA6 (fed from a Hugo2 via RCA) with my HEDDphones (32ohms) and Sony MDR Z1Rs (64ohms). I do not know for sure the current setting - High or Low. Any suggestions how they are to be used ?

I used high current for planar headphone. I only have it on when I use my LCD2. and I turn off when I use HD58x .

FYI: I am having the amp for sale, I am the very first owner. (Apology if this is not allow here.) Let me know if one of you interested.
