For the moment I only have a Kingsound KS-H4. I am also going to use dynamic headphones on the IESL. I am new to electrostatic headphones and I won't be able to compare it with another amp.

Agreed...I have the ADI-2 DAC paired with the ican pro as well

Dynamic Cans sound better through the iCan pro. I brought everything close to me by using batteries. So, i don't need the crappy remote. The Kingsound ks-h04 really sounds great! It's the first time I tried electrostatic gear. Really love it

That's a bit of a cable mess there . Ah, well …

Still, share the experience please!

I see it as a creative disorder

Yeah, I won't forget my first time with estats. Not quite up there with the best planars I know, but interesting and special in on their own.

Whoa, that's one clean setup right there!

Hi, since you are online, could you please answer the two questions I posted before?


<<<<<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 roughly 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.>>>>>

For the moment, I can only say that they sound a bit like speakers. I still have to compare them with dynamic cans.

I don't see why it should be dangerous for a DAP.

Thank you very much for your feedback.>>>>>

 

[Hoegaardener70]

Yes.

Thanks for the confirmation. So … the comparison may begin. Amazing amp.

Today I tried the Grado ps1ke and the kingsound (again).

The Music I used: Marvin Gaye What's going on (Dsd64)

I tried the ps1ke on the IESL and I must say that it does sound as good on the IESL.
there is a difference between the kingsound and the Big Grado. I am sorry but i can't describe it yet.

What use has the impedance knop on the IESL? When i put it on 16 Ohm, it sounds the best. It gives Bigger Soundstage. The sound is more open.

There is no iCan pro bass enhouncement needed on the kingsound.

 

[alexdemaet]

I especially like music with instruments (jazz, classic, reggae, ...). The Kingsound really shines with real instruments.
It sounds very mellow, smooth and tangible in general. I am not a bass head. So to me there is no extra bass needed. I read the highs are exceptionally smooth and resolving. The iFi/Kingsound setup is very relaxing.
I still have to try the iCan pro tube mode.
