seems like a simple solution. At what levels should the 4.4 balanced out be fed into the P20?

I've no direct experience with the iFi, your headphones or source material so couldn't begin to guess but common sense would say try about 2/3rds gain on the Hip DAC and see what sort of level you need to set the P20 at for comfortable listening. If its Very low then back off the Hip DAC and if its very low then give the iFi more gain. Listen out for any distortion creeping in.

ah right, so it being a balanced 4.4 headphone plug and not a line out, it wont overload the P20? I guess I can fiddle with it for the optimum levels. Either a zx507 / phone ifi for source and HD700 cans

I'm selling my P20 if anyone is interested.

Too bad, I have already bought one on Amazon for the same price. By far, the best amp I have heard! What valves did you used with it?

Is balanced input a 'must' for this amp? I've got one but still digging around for the correct cables

To be honest, I haven't even bothered to try the single ended input/output yet. There's no way this thing can compete with my Aune X7s with a single ended source. With a full balanced circuit, to my surprise, it actually outperforms the much pricier Aune amp. Better separation, soundstage, imaging, timbre and texture from the balanced outputs of my DACs

I've tried SE input and 4 pin xlr output, which is futile I know, and wasn't impressed with the sound. But from other people 's impressions SE is quite crap on this amp. Can't wait to sort balanced input cabling.

I was using the this cable with my Loxjie P20 i’m going add it to classified listing With the Loxjie p20. Sounded great with the Loxjie but upgraded to new tube amp and dac so no longer needed.

The cable I use is a little less expensive but it sounds great with all my balanced DACs

Money is tight so it's got to to wait. For now the balanced with the ifi hip DAC is great.

New 6V power supply and New tubes OMG this little thing sounds amazing I picked a used one for $65 Mint but with chanel imbalance because of dying tube.

It looks great all in red and awesome that you were able to replace tubes and enjoy it again

Can you link the 6cv power supply?
