I have owned iCan Pro for a couple of months, it works fine for me.
Hope your issue be gone soon.

I was wondering if anyone else experienced this. So I'm using a single ended input and output in my Ican pro. If I'm using any gain and adjust my volume I can hear a slight static noise I believe I only hear it on the left side.

It is worth checking the source for any DC offset in the left channel. We do not use any coupling capacitors to block DC, hence if the source used has some DC offset, such noise as described may happen.

Question for the owners, do you find the sound when listening shortly after turning on your iCan Pro to be dark, then gradually getting to balanced over about 30 min from turning on?

Are you running it in tube mode when you turn it on? But even then it shouldn't take 30 minutes to warm-up.

Yep tube mode. I could be off on the 30 min, but when listening as soon as the light turns yellow, it does sound dark to me. Not a problem though.

Strange, I've never started mine up in tube mode. I've always switched to it from solid state with only a brief delay before the light turns solid orange. Everything sounds full range and open similiar to solid state but with warmth of tubes.

I wanted to correct myself in saying I hear it on both sides it's just hard because it's very quiet. If it was dc offset would it happen only when adjusting the volume?

Since iFi announced its 2nd black label product i am wondering if we will see a Pro iCan Black Label.

I doubt that. From what I understand the Black Labels are using trickle down technology from the the Pro series. The Pro series is the best of the best from iFi and I'm enjoying them immensely!

Hello,
Is the ifi ican pro a good match for an Audeze LCD3f?

In my opinion, it is a good match for all headphones due to its versatility.

In SS mode it is neutral and very clean, then using the tube modes you can add warmth if you like

Thanks ! I enjoy it with my Audeze, I just sometimes wonder if I'm getting the best out of it with the ifi.
But no complaints
