I have a ZO FS+ on order actually, but it will probably take a week or two to reach me. I'll come back to you once I have the FS+ to compare it to the nano and micro iCAN.

Great, thanks.

Anybody use this with the ibasso DX90?  Is the iCan Nano any more powerful than the internal amp in the DC90?

Anyone tried these with the alpha dogs? I'm thinking about getting the ifi ican micro to use with the idsd nano, thoughts?

I have the same question - would it be an improvement on the DX90?  The DX90 already does pretty well with the Alpha Dogs, but I am looking for am amp to give added oomph.

Well in regards to the alpha dogs, I emailed Dan Clark himself and he said they are excellent and would be great for the dogs.

Hi,
 
The IE800 is a super-sensitive IEM. Perhaps one of the most sensitive. You can google the specs.
 
Ideally it needs iEMatch as found on the micro iDSD. The nano iCAN or nano iDSD will have too much gain to make it a good partner with the IE800.
 
You can open a support ticket and we can send you an excel worksheet where you plug in the tech specs and it will give you a good/average/poor partnering with all of the iFi headphone amps.
 
Thanks.

i do have an iphone 6.
and im having a hard time which will fit better for me, is it the ican nano or the idsd?
i want the one with the 3d and bass boost options of the ican... but from the unit, i dont know what cables to use to connect my iphone 6 to that one.
 
cant i connect my iphone 6 via lightning to the ican nano?

If you pick iCAN nano, you just need a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm interconnecting cable. You will be using the iPhone internal DAC as your source. You can also uses the official Lightning-to-30pins adapter (which has a tiny DAC built-in), followed by a 30pins line-out dock, though the SQ you get might not be very far off compared to just a 3.5mm cable.
 
If you use iDSD nano / mirco however, you will need the official camera connection kit followed by a (preferable short) USB cable. In this configuration, the iDSD will serve as both the DAC and amp together.

thank you very much ClieOS for clearing that up.
guess ill just to have to wait a little bit longer for a better options.
i just cant stay away from my idevice as a dap due to its ease of use.
 
hope IFI will create something more for the portables.

I currently have a 1.0 AQ Dragonfly with NAD HP 50, Shure 840 pretty efficient cans in general.
Was thinking about using the Dragonfly as a DAC and running it to the Nano for an amp.
Do you think this would be a lateral move SQ and power wise verses the Dragonfly alone
Or would you think it would be a big jump forward? I would think moving up further to the Micro would be a pretty big jump and I guess that could be a possible scenario also as I really don't need the portability of the Nano just interested in better SQ and a little more power. What do you think ?
