From #7 down to #5. iPurifier 2 for each of these contestants

 
While we are still not quite in a party mood, we decided to publish the next 3 winners. The following three have won an iPurifier2. Well done.
 


 
It is an Active Asynchronous USB Hub Repeater (US$109/Euro119).
 
Locate the iPurifier2 after the USB cable and before the DAC. Expect quite a jump in performance as short of the flagship micro iUSB3.0, there is nothing that cleans the signal like this guy.
 

 

7. Whitigir

 
Ready and willing to put yourself out there. The iPurifer2 should help you hear more 'into' your music.
 
 

6. nmatheis

 
Star Wars and Star Trek afficionado - we like it. The iPurifier2 should inject some 'warp speed' into your system.
 
 

5. Ancient.Dream

 
The Fidelios are great bang for the buck headphones, they punch well above their price class. Again, the iPurifier2 should give your music a nice uplift and you'll hear it on the Fidelios.

The Meze guys would also like to also give you all a big pat on the back.

 
Congrats guys!

Can I go:
 
PC line out > 3.5mm to phono adapter > iCAN SE ?
 
So, using the PC's DAC but the iCAN SE as the amp??

You can do that, but there are so many good cheap DACs out there that I highly recommend you upgrade. Also, you'd want to know what the output impedance of your sound card is as an impedance mismatch can cause some nastiness on the sound. Someone correct me if I've got anything mixed up.

I will give it a try and let you know, will also try 3.5mm > 3.5mm input
 
My SE is still on a delivery truck somewhere..... hopefully it arrives by the end of the week.

This padawan never learns, but I have lots of ways to ask the same question. Meze teasing us earlier makes it tough to wait for my Jedi training to finish.

Just how many audiophile K-9s live at Bansaku's place? Are you running a shelter for K-9s? Anyway, they are seen chillin to tunes and doing their very best Chewie impressions.
 

 
 
Congrats to you all!

Congrats, all! That's some serious swag! Now we're into Highlander mode. Wow, thanks for iFi and Meze for putting this on. You know, they didn't have to do this at all.
