> You'd have to contact iFi to see what they think, but I imagine if it could be rated for 36V it would be.

I've been thinking about contacting them to see whether they might do a group by if there was enough interest. Was thinking that their iPower would be a more likely product for that. Figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

I inquired to an AliExpress store about the availability of a 36V/2A linear PSU, they said they can build one at USD120 (apparently its ZeroZone branded). I don't know how good is this ZeroZone brand though.

Subbed..

Would this be better than Mjolnir 2 ?
That’s certainly the comparison I’m waiting for. Also anxious to hear about pairings with Auteur & Utopia.

Subbed, mini balanced Liquid Crimson? Upgraded MCTH? Count me in!

It is a balanced mini Crimson. No relation to the MCTH, which is a completely different circuit.

Ah I see, I heard some peeps say in their impressions that the addictive tonality of the CTH remained in the Liquid Platinum just a lot more airy and quite a bit more detailed.

But that doesn’t say much about the internals of course. :)

Edit: Anyone know the output impedance of this unit yet?

Yeah, that is an accurate description. Same midrange magic, a lot more air and detail, and a bit more impactful on the low end. I’d say it has more bite and tactility to it as a sort of overall sonic impression as well. If you love the sound of the CTH, the Platinum is the logical upgrade.

I believe the output impedance is <1 ohm. What are you trying to pair with it? I may have already tried something similar.

Have you heard it with the Utopia? Although you no longer have the Liquid Carbon, how would you compare the Platinum to it?
