    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    Awesome, thanks for your reply. According to another recommendation I received, speaker/RCA plugs seem to be an option too (for those who already have them on hand), but I guess I'll go for the banana plugs, as the cage plugs are also banana plug shape as well.

    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    What have you used as "help" to bring the cage higher, but yet stable and in place? Pins similar to the attached photo (borrowed from an old listing), or another solution? Thanks.

    HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless is Available Now - A True Wireless ANC Earbuds for Audiophiles!

    I’m wondering whether you hear your footsteps when walking having them on? By that I mean the thumping bone conduction sound you perceive via the bones and skull, not the actual footstep sound. That’s an annoying issue that I have when using my wired IEMs or having them connected to something...

    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    It effortlessly drives the Susvaras without breaking a sweat. I haven't tried Susvaras on speaker amps and cannot compare, but as a headphone amp it does a great job in my opinion. They indeed exhibit great synergy.

    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    Hi @zach915m , @incredulousity , Just sharing with you what I have experienced so far, hopefully helpful, I'm also still experimenting with the amp and would be happy to hear more from you guys: I have also noticed that there's almost no noise on planars using the XLR output regardless of the...

    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    Thanks for your replies. I'm asking this question because when I connect my iFi Pro iDSD Signature DAC on HiFi (Fixed) mode (outputting nominal 4.6 V to the amp using XLR connections) I get very very little control on my amp volume knob, meaning that each increase step on my Cayin amp results in...

    What's the voltage range you guys use as output from your DAC/preamp to feed your HA-300MK2?

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    Yes, you're right, it's mentioned clearly in the manual. I guess I got lost in the calculations and overlooked this. Thanks. I actually tried that too: connecting Pro iDSD (HiFi Fixed) and bypassing Pro iCAN. That was exactly when the rabbit-hole of my calculations started :smile: The problem...

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    You're right. I know I'm overthinking it. And yes, unfortunately :wink:, I'm an engineer (not audio) with a PhD in Science and Engineering. So, I guess I can't help overthinking it until solving the riddle (at least for myself; it's a hobby in the end). It sucks to be that and also an...

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    I've currently added a Cayin HA-300MK2 tube amp to my Pro iDSD Sig. + Pro iCAN Sig. chain which (now) serve as my DAC and preamp, respectively, but am struggling to find some specs on my iDSD and iCAN to be able to set the volume knob on my iCAN to output the right voltage to the Cayin amp and...
