What is the latest update on units arriving at the various vendors for order filling? Thanks.
I have not heard anything concrete, but I will ask to see if there is any update, Thanks for the interest!

Cheers!!

Thanks! Have one on order and thought the release date was 6-26.

iCAN Phantoms should be making their way to our local distributors shortly, as in: within days, not weeks. Thanks!

I just noticed a discrepancy on the website re the iCan Phantom, about the e-state "normal bias" :

words say: "Electrostatic headphone outputs – 1x 5-pin normal bias, 1x 5-pin custom bias"

picture shows: 5 pin custom bias, 6 pin normal bias.

I am hoping the production version does in fact have a Stax-compatible 6-pin connection for the normal (230v) bias output?

I was told that the iCAN Phantom will be on display for SoCal Canjam, but in terms of "dealers," you would have to check with your local shops.

There are several "online" vendors that will carry them, I know off-hand Moon Audio, Bloom Audio, and B&H Photo.

Cheers!!

Normal bias is always 6 pin, pro bias is 5 pin to stop anyone plugging a normal bias STAX into pro bias and nuking them. It clearly has both sockets in the pictures.

Great news on ETA! Bloom has not said anything about having any inventory. Thanks!

After getting stuck in customs for an eternity, we're finally due to receive our stock tomorrow!

I received mine today😊 Thank You, @Andrew DiMarcangelo and Bloom Audio!

In-person iCAN Phantom looks even better than promotional materials - lovely build quality and premium product feel (motorized volume knob is something).
I have no dedicated DAC, but connected to my Chord Poly + Mojo 2 Phantom sounds good.
I tried iCAN Phantom with a couple of IEMs (Jomo Audio GT600 Gran Tourer, Noble Viking Ragnar) and full-size Audeze LCD XC 2021 - it handles quite well all of them.
Phantom's versatility was one of the biggest selling points for me 😊

Overall, I'm super happy with my purchase.

I know you probably can't say ifi, but is there a planned iDSD to go along with the iCAN Phantom to have a matching stack. I currently own the Pro iDSD, iCAN and iESL and will be upgrading to the iCAN Phantom, but I would love a fully matching stack :)
