I got IEMs I’d trade for full size!So far the CA1000T really captivated me with my IEMs. The Mentor, Euclid, and especially the Mezzo LE just make me want to do nothing but chill out and listen to music all day.
I think that's about the biggest compliment I can offer. I would totally part ways with all my desktop gear for more IEMs to pair with the CA1000T. I love this device and all it's quirks.
That is all.

I am so not sorry I got the CA1000T. It is such a perfect device for headphones or IEMs. My wife loves it. The software is so easy to operate. It sounds sooo good. This is not a item I will be selling, like ever!

Does anyone has a recommendation for a balanced out cable for the 1000T?
This is 2xmini XLR to 4.4. Thanks.

Just got my CA1000T and am definitely hearing a hiss with sensitive IEMs (Campfire Andromeda). Is there an option for always on display?
I have no hiss at all and have tried Aroma Jewel, Fir XE6, Vision Ears Elysium and the Empires Ears Odin.Just got my CA1000T and am definitely hearing a hiss with sensitive IEMs (Campfire Andromeda). Is there an option for always on display?

Is it possible to always keep the screen on while plugged into power?
Andromeda's are known to do that on pretty much any device. That said no hiss here with any of my IEMs. Lastly, no for an always on display.Just got my CA1000T and am definitely hearing a hiss with sensitive IEMs (Campfire Andromeda). Is there an option for always on display?

Yeah. Definitely expected with the Andromedas. Even adjusting the knob or changing tracks doesn't wake up the screen, which I find a bit odd. I can definitely see what's playing using Roon on my computer, but it's not as convenient as I would have hoped.

@JasonNYC,
I continue to be very impressed and happy with my CA1000T. However, I must once again request that the crazy volume cap for balanced output be lifted. I bought this device (and the CA1000 before it) partially because of its plentiful power to drive my HD800S via Roon and its parametric eq (which necessitates dropping the output level on the eq quite a bit to prevent clipping). The CA1000 has no such limitation. Please can you reassure me that this will be addressed quickly?
Thanks,
Tony

Yes this is a pity. It needs to be resolved.@JasonNYC,

Anybody tried an Abyss Diana TC with this? I'm wondering if there's enough power.

I have just realised that the volume cap applies only when the device is not being charged.Yes this is a pity. It needs to be resolved.
Actually the definition is that the cap only applies when the CA1000T is not connected to external power... Whether or not it is being charged is immaterial, as long as it's externally powered the cap does not apply ...I have just realised that the volume cap applies only when the device is not being charged.

Very true and thanks for clarifying . I still want that cap removed!Actually the definition is that the cap only applies when the CA1000T is not connected to external power... Whether or not it is being charged is immaterial, as long as it's externally powered the cap does not apply ...
