It’s written by Srajan from 6moons so not actually new (he has reviewed both on his website).

I see. I didn’t notice that.
That's an interesting result for DAVE owners.
So was DAVE directly driving Immanis without even an interface transformer?
Which cable was used for this?
Would you say this was a viable long-term combination? Assuming low to moderate volume levels.

It was with the interface transformer. From Dave’s 6.3mm headphone output. I feel I play my music decently loud and I think Dave max is +10? So still some room to get louder.
I think it’s a viable long term option. It sounded great already. Sadly I didn’t have my Zahl Hm1 with me to try also. If I end up ordering an immanis, will definitely giving that combo a try too.
Actually, DAVE goes up to +19dB, so seems like plenty of headroom, but I'm not sure if SQ is impacted at these higher levels.
A further option, should DAVE not quite match a great external amp, is do the Reactcore caps mod to give DAVE more oomph, particularly to bring out any deep bass.
As stock DAVE owner, "the caps mod vs HM1 and/or Immanis?" happen to be the exact questions I'm asking myself right now.

Any updates on shipments to USA and manufacturing?
I didn't realize RAAL made an adapter cable for the interface with a 6.3mm SE (as opposed to XLR) connection! Was that a special order?

I thought the shows were over, which one is in Jerusalem?
Have fun, but don't forget the production

I hope you are having a safe and fun trip. Hard to imagine being there right now. Did you hear the Yamamoto?

any generic one will do, I have a cheap one from Youkamoo that I used for the DNA Stratus. There are no special pin outs for it

Danny told me that can choose 6.3 or 4pin xlr for cable. Also can choose longer lengths for the cable too.
I used a 4pin xlr to 6.3adapter that I use with my other xlr cabled HPs that day.
wonder if balance xlr connection makes a difference. Or if transformer is singled ended and xlr is for convenience .

RAAL crew of 8 people are producing headphones while I'm away, so we'll have enough for shipments, starting from 27th of May.
Right before my trip to IL, we have measured and matched a lot of ribbons that are being placed in the drivers now, so I have to do one final inspection when I get back and we're shipping out...
