Ok, that sounds really cool! Thanks. One more question. Have you compared it to the Cavalli liquid carbon! From your description, it sounds like you might like Cavalli house sound.

... for those who are interested.
ifi included an adaptor if you like to use your own high quality power cable to feed the iPower Plus power supply:
I installed it today. Do you think this is a bit over the top ???

 

 

[Allanmarcus]

I though iFi address the power supply in post #499
 
Basically, the power supply that comes with the pro is as good as iFi can make it,and the fully balanced topology of the pro "reduces sensitivity to power supply noise and to modulation of the power-supply created by the signal current changing" post #1259

Alan, comparing the LC to the Pro iCan, the iCan has a bigger, larger, better defined soundstage, better imaging, much blacker background, tonally they are equals, just one with the slightly more opaque Cavalli house sound.

He's joking. Obviously, the power supply that comes with the iCan PRO is more than enough.

Anyone compared iFI pro iCAN to Trafomatic Head 2?:rolleyes:

@ Trogdor
 
Thank you, you've got it right ! The Pangea cable I use weights nearly as much as the Pro iCan itself

Wow. I didn't get any adaptor in the retail box. Will iFi make it available to the early adopters?

It's supposed to come with a power adapter. You should contact your retailer.
 
From the manual, page 11:
 
"...we strongly recommend the use of the included iPOWER Plus 15V."

The thing is I'm not sure if the C14-C7 adaptor is supposed to be included. I saw an unboxing video of the iCan Pro at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQf_f2inMYk, and there doesn't seem to be any adaptor in the box either.

Hi,

That unboxing is the pre-production sample. It was the show demo for distributors and has intergalactic mileage.

It was not the actual production version!

Cheers.

Anyone compared iFI pro iCAN to Trafomatic Head 2?

Maybe one day I will be able to. I havent heard the pro yet. Not many people have the TH2. I have a feeling the Pro is going to sound and be a lot more versatile. It may even have a wider soundstage who knows. The TH2 is pretty much all tube and transistor class A. A whole different design and can be picky with certain headphones. E.g. it doesn't play as well with the Omni or T50 mods as it does with the HEK. It does Awesome with the HD800S and gives some heft and overall physicality to the light sounding Senn. It would be tough for a design like this to have the same effect. It will excel in different areas. 
 
I hope @Wildcatsare1 reveals comparisons in his review vs other amps.
