Hello,
I'm using the 600i as well but just single ended for the moment and would like to change over to XLR.

Could someone let me know the pin configuration of the Qeststyle's XLR jack?

Would be glad for some help!
Cheers!

Hello, does the signal in the line in input on the cma600i goes straight to the preamp like the cma800i?

Yes it does.

 

[ProLoL]

Yes it does.

Do they share the same preamp and the difference is only in the dac? or the CMA800i is of a higher quality preamp?

I don't know sorry.

I am writing the Hive mind here. I primarily use a pair of Focal Clear with the Questyle CMA600i. I just saw the promotion Focal is running for $1000 off of the Arche and wondering if anyone can speak to how the two DAC/Amps compare. I would like to hear if the Arche is a significant upgrade over Questyle or not

Instead, just get a new DAC to pair with the CMA600i. The CMA600i is a great Amp, just get a better standalone DAC

Is there a way to fin the "popping" issue ourselves or you absolutely have to take it to a shop?

 

[qboogie]

I don't believe so if you are using USB. I believe the issue can be bypassed if you use another input like optical. When this issue came to light a couple years ago, Questyle acknowledged this was a hardware-based problem that couldn't be patched with firmware upgrades.

Any of you guys compared the CMA600I with a bryston BHA-1? If yes, how do they compare? Thanks.

Unfortunately, It appears that Roon does not support Questyle products:

Perhaps post your question in the Roon Community to see if anyone has found a work-around:

Hope you find a solution.

Roon recognises the 'Xmos' USB interface on my Mac when I hook-up my CMA600i.

How does the CMA600i behave when paired with IEMs and driven from the balanced output? The CMA400i is "ink black" from its 2.5mm balanced output. No hiss or noise whatsoever .. So I am curious to learn how the CMA600i handles those in the absence of gain control switches like the CMA400i has?
