Now, will someone please send me an iFi iCan PRO so I can conduct "Phase 2" of my testing?
. . . for SCIENCE and the general welfare of mankind??
Where have all the altruists gone???

Am enjoying Kraftwerk, 3-D Katalog [German version), "Neon Licht": celebrating the HEDDphone "in the native style".

Simply spectacular...these MASTER tracks balanced through my JOT really show what these phones are all about. After taking a week off from listening...I am placidly appreciative of having these to enjoy. The full spectrum of strings playing is beyond my ability to describe. Not one detail is missed.

 

[paulybatz]

Well, from a performance perspective I don’t see how they wouldn’t. They truly do punch way above their price point.

1000 percent...it is undeniable.

Set the [upgraded] Lehmann BCL to maximum gain and things sound even better.
Rachmaninov again. : )

Postscript: Added the DakiOm F273 Audio Feedback Stabilizer and Synergistic Research H.O.T. [blush] and everything got better: quieter, improved sense of separation and integrated space, and even fuller detail.

HEDDphone "Rachs".

Great for large scale orchestral pieces!

Pauly,
Agreed.
String detail is truly remarkable: re: third movement of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, Opus 45.
Brass and reed are equally noteworthy, realistically detailed in every respect.
Haven't put on the Utopia in over a week.

I’m all over these small room MASTER recordings. Amazing. GRADO collecting dust.

Natalie Merchant and Chantel Chamberland are my recent favourites. Their recordings are crazy good and through HEDDphone it's just hard to describe how enjoy and happy I am.

Indeed indescribable
You can’t even call it a soundstage...nothing like anything else.

Anyone try these out of a vintage speaker amp, either out of the speaker taps or from the headphone 1/4" plug?

 

[pataburd]

Not yet, but I am tempted to try both configurations on the Dussun T6 integrated.

Just the Jot and a tweaked out WA7 second gen

All hiding

If(i) not you, who else is capable to lend a iCAN Pro?

I got my pair in this afternoon and boy are they heavy. The crinkling of the drivers when you first adjust them was funny and bizzare, but no issues once you settle into listening. These were a gift from my wife so I was really excited to receiving them. Also the most expensive cans I've owned (it's more than 2x my LCD-2) so I felt real nervous unboxing them.

Been listening to Tool's Fear Inoculum for the past hour with these tanks over my head, and I love it. Not tops in the comfort department but the sound... damn.
