Hotel room setup:

HD FLAC files
IBasso DX50 as digital transport
IBasso coaxial digital interconnect
Audio-gd R2R-11 DAC/amp (solid core mains lead)
Beyerdynamic DT 150 recabled with Mogami 2534

OK, it won't fit in a pocket!

Literally like everything about this photo.

How do you like the IEMatch? I'm considering one to use with my Heaven Vs, which are ridiculously sensitive to hiss.

 

[CJG888]

Is it just an impedance adapter (a posh resistor in a box)?

My FAD Fi-bi-ss will hiss a lot when I using my Cypher Labs Trio tube amp to drive, put a IFi IEmatch in the chain not only remove the hiss but also sounds better, darker background, more details can be heard and also with no coloration added. I'm very happy with the sound.

IFi mentioned it is not as simple as that.

 

[CJG888]

The best solution would probably be a transformer, but that would be much bigger and more expensive!

Used iFi iematch with the Andro, it works. It is able to remove the hiss. Impedance adapter may change the sound signature too much on the Andro due to the change in output impedance. There is not much sound signature change to the Andro when using the iFi iematch, so its just as iFi stated. It is not simply an impedance adapter, it is able to keep the output impedannce at 1 or 2.5 and removing hiss at the same time.

How strongly does it attenuate?

Looking good!

I can also confirm the Effect Audio Ares II pairs beautifully with Sage.

I have one of those too along with Eros II
