My Capella arrived today (thanks Stan!),initially i tried to run both the Capella and Caiman off my old APC-20000
All i got was weak low quality sound from right ear cup and nothing from the left.
Then i connected the Capella to the supplied PSU and the Caiman to the battery and that solved the problem. Shame really, the battery ran my previous Bushmaster 2 and the present Caiman 2 without a glitch, the old Ankar battery i owned had the dreaded 'power down' because the Bushmaster draws so little power. It seems the Caiman 2 combined with the Capella is a little too much for this battery.
Great product, running the Hifiman HE-400 phones from the Caiman MK2 i had to turn the volume to between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock position to get a decent level of volume, now i'm running them around the 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock position and they sound clearer and more focussed, and it seems i have gained a little extra bass definition.(Gain set approx 2 o'clock).
From what i've read, planar magnet headphones really gain from a headphone amp that has 2 watts or more of power output, the Capella has 4 watts?
I'd like a battery pack that has enough output to run the Caiman MK2 and Capella together, what do you guys recommend?
