Hmmm....seems unlikely given price points and the reviews done thus far. I'm wondering if my personal tastes in sound are really that unique....hard to imagine.
Surprised and confused....

So, totally confused by that result, I completely disconnected everything and just took the analog output from the Pure dock and pumped it directly into the Lehmann BCL amp - taking the DACmini out of the picture (both amp and DAC).
Low and behold, it sounds better than any of the other combinations.
I'm open to your input, thoughts and recommendations.....how can this possibly BE?
An interesting post khatch, with several possible answers; BwMr75's being one. (Btw, "Believe your ears" is surely good advice!).
Need more information. Can you detail the sonic differences you hear that makes the analog output/BCL combination better? Valuable information.
Cheers.
ps: Another possibility. The Lehmann (BC) was originally designed quite a few years ago. Dare I suggest it would naturally have been optimized to make the sources then available sound their best? Ironically, it might synergize better with what today would be considered mid-fi.
Can the Pure i-20 dock an iPhone without removing the phone case?
My snug fitting bamboo wood case from Grove is not easily slipped off & on. Thanks.
if you are not too heavy handed,an ipad fits also.
I use this cable http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockXtender.html between my iPhone and i-20.
It passes audio and will charge. Originally thought I'd want the shorter cable but decided the 6' would be better. I'm glad I went long.
