Finally - New Cavalli Audio Portable Unveiled at the SF HeadFi Meet

[Frosty3258]

Audio Technica ATH-M50S, Sennheiser HD598, Denon D600, Westone umpro30, Mr.Speakers Alpha Prime.

Currently the westones, and primes. I have the 598 still at home but travel a lot so they don't see much time. I don't think this amp would pair well with the primes not to mention just got an amp for those and when I use the pro 30 it's in a noisy environment anyways so wouldn't notice any improvement amp wise. But I am interested in the product and what people think of it.

@runeight any chance of a photo of the back side?  I'm assuming there is only a DC input and 1/8" input?  Simple and sweet....

Probably once I get to SF (on the road now). But, you're mostly correct. DC power jack, micro USB, 3.5mm.

I got to hear this at Canjam…very nice.
 
The name? Why, of course it should be "Liquid Port"?
 
Oh, wait…did Alex say not to start throwing names around?

This was the first amp I listened to at the LA Can Jam. I remember I liked it but not too much specific. I also remember that another Head-Fi'er loved it so much that he told me he "begged and cried" for Cavalli to let him purchase one, until they let him borrow one of their prototypes so he can exhibit it in his showcase, since they couldn't stand his bawling. IIRC I thought it was supposed to be called Cavalli Liquid Silicon. I'll get to try it again at the SF meet this weekend, if any of you have anything you want me to listen for with this amp.

Wait! I have it. Just call it "Flask". (I know, im being naughty. Flask get it? Holds Liguid ahem er...)

@runeight is the input output set? The input on one side and the output on the other?

 

[CrocCap]

so is there any sign up list for purchasing the first batch? or is it just order at launch?
 
if it sounds as good as the prototype at can jam, i definitely want.
