anyone have any comparison between the idac and the odac? Thinking of either getting my upgrading my odac to idac or get the iusb for my odac.

Currently, my rig is odac+o2 amp+ Hd600/ modded Fostex t50 rp. Thinking of getting Audeze LCD 2 in the near future.

I understand the iCAN are designed to be used for headphones. I had tried most of the reference headphones available at your store at Ion orchard like HD800, Beyer T1, AKG 702, Audeze LCD2. I must say the iCAN did an impressive job. But what are the chances of the iCAN be used on earphones since there isn't a gain switch?

Was there during 9pm to try out the IFI Idac with IUSB. I used my own IEMs. The bass was damn bloody solid on my Sony XBA4IP. Too solid till I still can't forget now. Die, I think I kanna poison liao.. If don't buy maybe cannot sleep. I'll like to ask if there's a good package deal for IDAC with IUSB? I didn't see any for this combo that I'm interested in. Was thinking of using the IUSB with my incoming NAD M51 dac too. If have I might whack together before recuperating from my recent spending spree...

Btw, I was at the PS branch. Very good service from the staff there. Although I did not buy anything, the guy was still maintained a very good attitude and service. Many Thanks & Thumbs Up!

I'm using an iBasso D7 with HD650 now, while I don't find it lacking I also think it can be further improved. I have little experience in desktop rigs since I mostly use IEM in the past, can I pair the iCan with the D7 and use the D7 purely as dac or will I be better off just getting the iDac first then consider the iCan if I still find it lacking?

I had a D7 for my computer rig until one channel fail recently.

Yes you can use your D7 as a DAC and iFi iCan as a headphone amp. As for whether you should get the iCan/D7 or just the iDac, that's a tough question to answer for you. It will be a matter of the HD650 benefiting more from the iCan's amplification or the improved sound signature from the iDac's DAC section. IMHO, the iCan amp is much much more superior than the iDac.

If it helps, the iFi full combo should be miles ahead better.

If it doesn't help, a trip down Stereo to audition is inevitable.

Would you be using earphones at home? I tried on my AKG3003 and its 's wonderful but the JH16 had slightly channel imbalance at low volume due to the sensitivity of the IEM I guess.
