Ah, thank you very much!Nice, congrats! That's the big big brother of the ifi ZEN CAN, right? I'm pretty happy with my ifi ZEN stack! I think some folks have issues with the Burr Brown DAC on ifi DACs, but i don't mind the combo. What's your dac going to be?
I suppose it is the big brother of all the iFi products, or at least a cousin (including the iFi Pro iDSD Signature, which is actually more expensive, but has a lesser amplifier section). It is pretty large and chunky compared to the normal smaller stuff. But, it DOES have the bigger brother of the iFi pro iCan Phantom (Perma-stacked DAC/amp combo). I have never had any issues with Burr Browns as well, though I have not too much experience with them. Doesn't the Little Bear have those OOTB?
Heck I am even in love with (among the usuals) the Cirrus Logic (formerly Wolfsen) DACS of today. There are 4 of them in my DX300. I didn't used to like CS chips, but their flagship ones have come a really long way. Maybe one of these days I will give a go with the Rohm DACs (the ones that are in the DX320 and some Cayin stuff). It seems as though today's DACs don't have much room to get better because even some of the cheap "ChiFi" stuff nowadays have specs that exceed human hearing.
For now, I am going to use my DX300's top notch DACs, but I will eventually get a "stacking partner" for the iCan Sig... How do you find the iFi stack? I am brand new to the iFi products (other than research)...
