We cannot know that for sure.  That's what testing is for.

 
Pretty sure it is fake rating since 1200mAh will likely be physically too big to fit inside a 9V battery housing. If it is real, that will be some kind of next gen. battery tech no one else has used yet.
 
p/s: there is one explanation though - if you consider the inside is a 3.7V 1200mAh Li-ion, then converting to 9V will give you around 490mAh (actual capacity will be lower than 490mAh because voltage step-up will eat up power as well). But instead of quoting its capacity as 9V, they quote the actual capacity of the Li-ion battery running at 3.7V. That's actually a practice many company do, even Sony. For example, the Sony 5000mAh power bank I bought actually has this tiny marking on the back that states 'Li-ion battery 3.7V 5000mAh, Output 5V 3000mAh'.

Just curious, I'm considering both the quickstep and the Vorzuge Pure ii. Has anyone here heard both before?


bump! weighing same option.... maybe I just read Headfonia too much that I am mainly considering these two :rolleyes:

  What is the difference between the 2Stepdance and the Quickstep?


They share the same amplifier but the Quickstop has better RF-shielding and uses another case-design.

As a new proud owner of HD800S, I am excited!
 
Meir Audio Soul is what Lieven from Headfonia considers best amp for HD800s

I just purchased a used quickstep and notice when turning up the volume (both high and low gain), there is a slight crackling sound in the left channel? This was done using a pair of sensitive iem am30pro. 
Is this normal?

Probably just a scratchy pot, which is not uncommon.

It has not classic potentiometer. It has an electronic one. My Stepdance does it on some very rare occasions only.

Oh my apologies, you're right about that. The pot is simply a voltage trigger for switches/relays that control the volume. I wonder if it's a problem with the switches themselves... but you'd have to email Meier directly about that.
