Has anyone used this DAC/amp with Hifiman's new HE1000se -headphones? If you have how was the sound?

We tried it with HE1000V2 and enjoyed the match a lot!

Is it correct that the pro idsd has a headphone output impedence at 10ohms with single ended? Thats not a good thing for lower impedence headphones like the audeze lcd x isn't it?

Nice, read. I like the interview type format in your review. Very well done!!

Thank you! I hope iFi is not offended by me poking fun. I need to edit it some of the typing. But I really think they did a good job. I will do a comparison to it vs the YGGY A2 soon and post it as soon as I can. I am soon out of the game. It is not fair for me to accept units for review and then take so long to review them. I just couldnt pass this one up because I was waiting for it for ever. But now I see why they took so long.

I hope to get one to pair with my Pro iCan in the coming months. I like Pro iDSD’s feature set and the one thing that keeps coming up in everyone’s reviews is how musical the Pro iDSD is. So of course I’ll be on the lookout for your comparison review with the YGGY.

I also understand what you mean about doing product reviews. To do them well takes time. To go in-depth like you do in your reviews I can only imagine the effort it takes to put out such great reviews. Especially if its not your full time job. I for one would like to see you keep putting out such in-depth reviews. As they have helped me make informative decisions on the gear I own. Keep up the good work my friend!

Hi there, Just been checking this one out for you. No, it is < 1 Ohm SE, < 2 Ohm balance.

Though power to sensitivity is more important in our opinion.

I hope this helps.If not, feel free to give our tech support team a shout on https://support.ifi-audio.com/. They will respond quickly and live for these questions!

Btw, pretty much all planars have a flat impedance curve (barring some exceptions). meaning that they don't respond to higher output impedance, no negative effect on frequency response.

It's a bigger problem with dynamic headphones.

We can handle being called 'NERDS' and 'SUPER NERDS' !!! Love the style of the review at the start! Nice one. Punchy. And thanks for the Award! We'll add it to the website it you can ping over the logo in a PM. Cheers.

How many hours of burn-in is recommended for the Pro iDSD?

 

[maninthehighcastle]

Edit: Sorry. I ment the ifi idsd micro. For pro idsd: The tubes are heating up and the light is flashing till they are ready. i don't know if burn in is necessary

'Maninthehighcastle' is right, in that the Pro iDSD works fine and will still sound great straight out of the box BUT in an ideal world we'd call 'burnt in' 4 full days per stage.

Each 'stage' has a different signal path, so they'd need 4 days each - 4 days each for solid stage, tube state and tube state plus.
