Awesome trader who was extremely easy to work. Very fast shipping and the dac arrived in perfect condition. Would not hesitate to trade with again!

Yes this cable will work with them.

Do you mean something like Hart Audio interconnect system or are you referring to using the adapters on he headphone connector end?

Those are some strange looking RCA cables. :)

Which tubes were the ones that resolved this?

Excellent trader with fast shipping. The cables were just as described and looked untouched. Would not hesitate to trade with again!

They weren't! :) It it's any use while you are waiting, I can confirm that the CV181-tII sound better than the stock tubes and also lower the noise floor decently. Definitely worth switching out the stock ones with these.

How are you finding the CV181-tII? Especially in regards to the noise floor?

Anyone try the the CV181-TII tubes as a replacement for the 6SN7? Specifically these ones.

Excellent seller. Kept me updated and let me know when there was a USPS issue. Cable was delivered and is in immaculate condition. Would not hesitate to trade with billerb1 if the opportunity presents itself!

@iFi audio Is there somewhere where there is a comprehensive list of what apps etc are supported. Right now all I see is: "WiFi STREAMING - All controlled from the palm of your hand via an app, choose a wireless connection to stream your favorite tunes from Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz – the list is...

Have not seen that particular video; however, I was able to get mconnect work on an iPhone. My Pixel Pro 6 still does not see anything.

Is there a guide to get network streaming running? I connected the the Ifi via an ethernet cable and switched over the input to the "App" option. However, nothing shows up in the app mcontrol app when I go to add new devices. Neither is Ifi visible as a Sound output target in the Tidal app —...

Sorry, I meant where you bought the tubes from.

@jbua5150 Would you mind sharing the name of the vendor?

I was starting to get a bit nervous. Did encounter some listings that were closer to $1k than $500 and that made the ballpark get a lot bigger! :)

What would be a fair price for the 'real' Melz 1578? And are there any specific vendors that are recommended?

@steve468 At the risk of giving away how little I know of tubes....a ballpark number would really help. The only tubes I have ever priced were the WE 300B tubes and those were a lot simpler to figure out! :) For example, I see tubes listed on online any where from around $100 to mid $200s —...

Thanks. Guess I have to do some more reading — was secretly hoping that it would be as simple as going to ebay and buying from the first link. If you don't mind me asking, how much should I expect the tubes to cost (on average)?

My thoughts exactly! I've noticed that with tubes in general (I joined tube gang very recently). If you don't mind I'll send you a link or two, just to get an idea of the tube to get.

Didn't know about the attenuation cable, do you feel it takes away from the sound a bit? I understand this question can be a bit hard to answer but whatever input you have would be helpful. My brain says that a cable like this would be 'ruining' the sound that I'm chasing with this amp... on the...

@steve468 if I'm not mistaken you had used some other tubes to help with the hum/noise when using headphones such as the ZMF VCs, do you happen to have any specific/updated recommendations for people dealing with the hum issue?

Got it. Btw, the umbilical cord is 89cm (in case someone else is looking for that information too).

Could you also enquire if they sell that umbilical cord in other lengths — looking at the website was not really helpful. Thanks

@Andykong would you happen to know the length of the umbilical cord?
