Hello new friends,
This is my inaugural post, having only recently started my foray into serious headphone technology.
So, I started with Audio-Technical ATH-M50s headphones (yeah, just a starter)... I know, not balanced, electrostatic, nor ortho.
Next, I bought the HRT iStreamer to connect to my iPhone or iPad in the office, my typical headphone environment.
So, I recently ordered an iBasso P4 Warbler portable amp, because I did not need a DAC, and figured it has a lot of power, looks to be made well, not "too much" bass (I really wanted a Ray Samuels).
I will probably one day end up with a HiFiMan 602, or a portable DAC.
My questions;
1 - How long should I expect to wait for the iBasso to ship from Asia to the greater New York City metropolitan area ? I received a paypal receipt, but have not received any form of acknowledgement from iBasso, though it has only been a couple of days.
2 - Is anyone using the Warbler with an HRT iStreamer ?
3 - One poster connected a balanced DAC, the Boomslang to a Warbler; how was that done ? Does that make the signal balanced, and you need a balanced headphone ?
thank you all.
