Hello, guys!
I want to buy this device.
Do I need to change the power cable?

Good stuff! Nice to hear you are utilizing the 400i for all that its worth. Sometimes people don't realize the swiss army knife that the 400i and 600i is. I feel like Zeos does a great job of explaining the 400i's versatility on youtubein my experience 400i paired well with both audeze planars and dynamics. i loved that. yesterday i got a chance to use it as a source and a premap for my tube amp in my big stereo system and it sounded lovely. it is a great dac on its own.
Hi all,
I have a 2Qute and NJC Reference II powering my HD800S. I’m thinking of replacing the DAC and amplifier with a CMA400i for convenience but can’t help wondering if the DAC section of the CMA400i will be a noticeable come down from the 2Qute. Reports of channel imbalance are a concern too.
Having been to a number of CanJams and upgraded from a STX soundcard, the only change in sound quality with the DACs was marginally less treble harshness / sibilance from the Hugo and 2Qute. However, this could have been due to replacing my solid-state Stax amplifier for a valve Stax amplifier.
I’d need to sell the 2Qute to finance the CMA400i but I’d rather not compromise overall sound quality with my HD800S. The main reasons to change are that the NJC amplifier won’t work in the US (one day I’ll move there to marry my fiancé) and the HD800S may produce better bass (all things being equal) with the CMA400i running balanced.
Thanks,
Martyn
Wondering if anyone tried this as well!How is this with Hifiman Edition X (v2), especially balanced?
Still got one? How much?And if anyone wants a near-perfect condition 400i at a discount, I got one for sale...
So is this worth upgrading to from my schiit jotunheim w/ balanced dac?
Is it possible to have this hooked up to a pair of active speakers as a pre amp, and use to connect to another amp? Like the schiit jot?
sorry for large image!
Thanks I saw this! So I'm guess that means I can't do it concurrently at the same time. I can either use as a pre amp, or as a dac and bypass the internal amp to another external amp
