We appreciate the constant support and interest in the other upcoming Pro Series products. That will have to wait another 2 weeks though 

 
In the meantime... We're still looking for those interested in giving the Pro iCAN a spin!

 

[iFi audio]

Further to the above, the Pro iCAN and the Pro iEnergiser will be on audition at RMAF.

 

What is the Pro iEnergiser?

An electrostatic headphone/earspeaker cannot be just connected to any headphone amplifier.
 
It needs power to 'energise' the panels, which is why there is a large five‑pin connector that looks like a valve seat along with headphone jack and XLR.
 
The Pro iEnergiser needs very high voltage (Stax are around 100dB @ 100V, not 105dB @ 1V 

).
 
On top of that they need a 'so-called bias voltage,' usually between 500V and 650V for modern ones.
 
The iEnergiser that will be at RMAF will be this.
 

 
 

 

 
Yes, the top photo shows a nice vintage Stax  being driven by the Pro iEnergiser!
 
The bottom is the KingSound electrostat!  Both sound very nice indeed. The vintage Stax is too rare to bring to RMAF. It is staying the lab. The KingSound will be there though.

3) Tell us the gear that you plan on connecting the Pro up to: MacBook Pro (stock, main source), school iMac for comparison, main IEM to be used will be the excellent Campfire Audio Nova, and the Fostex T40RP MK3 as closed headphones. Possible addition of Vibro Labs Aria, if timing is right. Lastly, the wonderful ProAc Tabelette 8 speakers we enjoy, which will be hooked to all above.

4) If you have any links from reviews that you've done, let us know:

Working on review of Fostex T40RP's and Schiit Magni 2 at the current time. Budget IEM's are also in the works.

Thank you for this tremendous opportunity! Best of luck to all!

Hi:

3) Surface Pro 4 -> Chord Mojo -> [iFi Pro] -> Audeze LCD 4
4) I have no formal reviews here on Head-Fi, however I write for a living (I am a patent lawyer with a computer science degree).  I am also a long time Hi-Fi and home theater enthusiast. 
 
**My assessments are based on exposure and experience.  I am balanced and enthusiastic about the opportunity to incorporate a new piece of equipment as part of my listening experience.  My objective is to describe and share my perspective with others in a manner that peaks their curiosity and encourages them to try it for themselves.
