I would like to know if you purchased a Logitech learning remote. And if it's capable to quickly adjust the volume (down).
I did not. I purchased a learning remote from AliExpress that allows for a master and slave type learning.

Hi guys, I have two questions regarding the iCan Pro (which I love, buy the way. So well done!).

A. Can I drive two headphones at the same time using balanced (4pin XLR & 2x3Pin XLR), if both are roughtly on the same spectrum (meaning "difficult", in that case HD800S and ab-1266)

B. I have a 2.5mm balanced cable with 2x3pin XLR which I use from my DAP as input for the iCan Pro. Someone told me this is dangerous for the DAP. Is this true and if yes, how so?

Thank you very much for your feedback.

I just ordered an iCan Pro! Hope I won't disappoint you! I have read through many reviews and forums and it seems to be a really exceptional amplifier.

Looking for a higher level to my headphones. Hope this is it.

I will use the RME as DAC. Anyone have any experience with it? How does it work with the iFi Micro iDSD BL? Has anyone tried it?

He should be here tomorrow, looking forward to it like a little kid. But think of the best you can get in this price range!

I am using the RME adi 2 pro as dac. The RME is connected to the iFi pro iCan through XLR. I am using Direct stream dsd mode on the ADI, so you should only be able to adjust the volume on the iCan. I have also ordered the iFi Audio IESL.

Thanks a lot for your tip! Yes, I didn't even think about XLR, just ordered another set of good ones!

Always had Cynch in mind, but XLR makes much more sense, especially if both units have the right connectors! Great!

I know someone who has connected RME to ICAN PRO. He is very satisfied.
I was also ordering RME but then I changed my mind because RME is also an amplifier. I was looking for a pure DAC and so I ordered the new SMSL M400.
I hope I don't regret it.

I don't know those. Should be good enough! I am using Cardas Audio XLR neutral reference cables

I have also ordered the iFi Audio IESL.
Considering the same. Please let us know how it performs, especially compared to whatever other energizer you have/had, either here and/or the iESL thread. What headphones will you be using it. I have a Stax 323A, but obviously I need to know it would be a big step up with the Stax SR-007 MK2.5 to justify the expense.
