  Hi,
 
my ican pro arrived today and I have the same problem with the remote. I followed this thread for a while and so i had a fresh battery on hand,
but it doesn't help. It doesn't matter how long I press the button, the volume pot always moves just a little (below 1 mm).
This is definitlely no exeption anymore.
Seems to be a regular problem with this early batch. I don't want to send the amp back and hope ifi
will solve this problem by just sending me a working remote.
 
btw... I have a universal remote that I use for some other devices. Is it possible to get detailed infomations
about the used IR code? Would be great if a could get my universal remote working with the ican pro.

I understand that you just want the remote replaced which I really wanted when it happened to me. I don't know it works in Germany for this kind of initial failure but contact the right person in charge to solve it. It might be worth trying disconnecting AC adaptor for a while which might have been a solution for my case.
 
I use a universal remote too which can learn by catching the iFi remote to it to learn. For this remote, if the knob moves as much as you keep pressing the remote button so I made several cases to move it much and less.

Hi iFi audio,
 
I have a question about iPurifier DC. Does it fit and OK to use for Pro iCAN in terms of the current limit 3.5A?
As Pro iCAN's AC adapter is 4A so just wanted to double check technically.
 
Also, it there any benefit for Pro iCAN's AC adaptor as it is already very low noise as I saw some article on Web.
I am interested in using iPurifier DC to Pro iCAN but want to know the benefit to use it from your view.
 
Thank you,

The iPurifier DC is meant for use with other manufacturers products that come with noisy wall-wart power supplies. It is superfluous with an iFi iPower or even the older iFi ULN.

I posted this before in the other ifi pro thread, but it just matches here...
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 ???

Did the cable change improved the sound for iFi adapter/Pro iCAN?
I just wanted to hear your impression.

Thanks for your reply!

I could not say that it changed the sound. The Pro is still burning in, so any changes are more
related to this process. It's just good to know that the iPower Plus is connected as goog as possible and
eliminates a pontential weak point.

Hi,
 
Technobear is correct.
 
The iPOWER PLUS is bigger and more powerful that then iPOWER. We do not advise changing the power supply as quite a bit of juice is required to power the Pro iCAN.
 
Though the Pro iCAN design does includes internal power filtration.
 
Cheers.

I was not thinking about changing the PSU but wanted to know if iPurifier DC has benefit for Pro iCAN or not. And my understanding is it is not recommended as the enclosed AC adapter is low noise enough. Is my understanding correct?

 Thanks for your reply. I understood. I might try it as I have some unused power cable left to try, maybe good to try it after enough burn in. Do you know how many hour we should burn in this amp?

Hi,

Correct!

As this is a question we get asked to partner with iPower or iPower Plus. Much as we like our customers to buy our products, we dont recommend this as it is not needed.

Cheers.

I had good results with around 100h in the past but 50h might be also enough. This is more a question of believing than knowing

Thanks for your reply! Mine is getting better now. I think it is about 80 hours now. Now I started liking tube+ mode. (I used like tube mode) It was not very clear bass but it is now clear and tight. I think mine is now burned in.

I didn't go through this process, Tyler was kind enough to "break in" the review sample prior to shipping. Though I can tell you, with the tube modes, I notice a slight improvement after the Amp has been turned on for twenty minutes.

The PromiCan is the "real deal" a very high end amp, with usefull features (I wanted to hate them), so nice that I sold my Liquid Carbon. Tyler and IFi may have to pry the review unit out of my hands .

I swapped out the stock cable with a Nordost Purple Flare power cord. There were some minor improvements. The sound seemed weightier, smoother and more natural. It's also slightly easier to identity micro details in a track. Overall a nice upgrade.
