Capella Headphone amp paired with the Caiman MKII Dac

[CADCAM]

OK strange turn of events here. I returned the 2nd gen Anker battery and charged my Astro Pro2 (original) last night. Woke up this morning hooked it up to the Beresford Bushmaster MKII and it didn't turn off! I have literally had it on all day and it has not shut down??? Is it because of the fresh charge? I have no idea but it's great having the unit stay on. Hope this stays.

Anker Astro Pro2 does not turn off after 20 min. any more...
Any ideas? It's powering a Bushmaster MKII only.
Strange...
Guess I'm just lucky

My vinyl system has to have a holiday as my rega rb250 is being rewired by originlive so i have been listening to my laptop running fidelizer with 96/24 upsampling and meier dsp.

I have to say the sound is superb (for digital) excellent soundstaging, air between instruments and the sound through my nad hp50 makes we want to listen and listen as i am hearing more of my music. The adjustments available on the capella make a small but significant difference in tailoring the sound and the combination of dac/amp seems to produce an intimacy previously lacking in my digital system.

So i am not becoming too impatient while i await my tonearm's return, than you Stanley for 2 excellent products which have synergy and value for money.

When the Capella is paired with the Caiman MKII should the dac be set to variable or fixed line out? The headphone amp isn't connected to an amp.

Fixed, the Capella is then your volume control...

I have the 12v iFi iPower arriving tomorrow. says 12V/1.8A, would this be enough if i add the Capella to my Caiman II? will it work well with HD800?

That's more than enough current to drive both.
I am using the Capella with a HD800, and it's the best that I have heard the HD800 sound at this price level.

Hi Stan there is also a 15v version of the iFi Power, which would you recommend for the Caiman II/ Capella combo, 12v or 15v?

I didn't think of that, I have the 12V arriving today. the stock power supply that came with the Caiman II is 15V .8A

Stick to 12V.
