^ That's neat.   Higher supply voltage = more mW rms.

  This is the one I used:
 

 
They are true 9V nominal NiMH (a bit over 10V fully charged). Most of the NiMH only runs up to 8.4V as they use seven 1.2V cells stacked together. Li-ion version is even lower, at only 7.4V nominal as they are two 3.7V stacked. These however use 6 x 1.5V cells, so it has a higher nominal voltage than the other.

 
Great stuff. Could you provide a link for its purchase? What is the manufacturer?
 
Cheers,

You can find them on eBay. Search '9V 500mAh'.
 
The battery is made by a Chinese company called HaoBa. They are fairly reputable in China. I have been using these for the last 3 years without any problem.

Hi everyone I need your help. I have 2stepdance and I am planning to buy a new dap. Which one would you recommend iPod 5.5g, fiio x3 or dx50. I have pfe 232 and hifiman re400. I usually listen to jazz by the way

You might wanna check out the HiSound Studio 3a. It has very good synergy with the pfe232.

Hi Mike,
if I want portability, I hate to lug the XP8000 / willy cable stuff. I only use it at home.  Let me try to get some of those 9 Volt LI-Polymer rechargeables. But they seem to be rara over here in Germany.

They shipped to me in Norway (non-EU), so I am quite sure they will ship to Germany (EU) as well.

  Dear Piet,
 
"will this future device have active balanced ground too?"
 
Yes, it will. The upcoming amp will be truly high-end!

Hi Jan,
how about a teaser like a veiled photo from the oamps you will use or the mainboard.....

 
 
Cheers

The 2stepdance has such a clean look. I've never been able to see one in person- is the recessed volume know difficult to use? It looks like it's a fairly shallow handle.

Can I pay now and receive this sooner 

 
I am so ready for this and looking forward to see what this new thing is.

Right now I am totally enjoying my Stepdance @15 volt with my HD650. If it can get any better, then I am on board. But I think Jan needs his time to do it right. Quality in sound needs it's time. But it cannot be wrong to put some money aside to be prepared....

My Quickstep gets a lot of hours on it every week with my T5p or Tzar 350. Specially after I sold all my other portable amplifiers only to keep the Quickstep. I cannot imagine any other portable amplifier to sound better, but even it if sounds terrible I am going to buy it anyway, just because I love all the products Jan make.

Did you ever try the 15 volt solution on the Quickstep?

 

[Jan Meier]

Dear friends,
 
" Can I pay now and receive this sooner"
 
as you may have noticed the dollar exchange rate has changed dramatically over the last few months. Normally my gear is produced in a dollar-country but right now that is a very expensive choice. Therefore I'm evaluating the possiblity to produce in Europe.
 
Also working on another project that right now takes a lot of my time.
 
Sorry,
 
Jan

 

[tepet08]

another project= usb-chargeable version of Quickstep?
 
*one can hope

Yes! I use a 15V PSU whenever I am not on the move. When I am out I am perfectly happy with the internal 9V battery.
