I'm about to run a stock IFi DAC to signature CAN as well. Are you using the RCA to go from the DAC to the amp, or are you using a pentacon male to male?

Is there any benefit to that besides the balanced to balanced connection?

DazedSpyProbably a little more power output to the headphones. I find IFI tends to sound better balanced but it could just be placebo. I'm an "If you can go balanced, do." person.

Thanks! That's very informative. I've attached a pic of my guys in rotation. Fun to use the tubes with different DACs. I purchased 2 tubes from Ukraine, old new stock from 1979! Love it, even though it's not a true tube (which I've been on the fence for a while) I do love my SMSL M500! It does a bit of everything. Chris please look at this item link from Amazon and tell me does it look like a nice item with an outstanding price? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08H4V1XRD/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1ZISYOXLTU6JG&psc=1 I am pretty sure I am buying it with $75 off now. A 2020 DAC too. hmmmm.....

hypnoticdcimeThat's a really good ESS\Sabre Chip. I'm sure it would be a decent dac if you like Sabre dacs. Soncoz makes a really nice small on as well but I don't think it has bluetooth like that one does. Very nice set up. That SMSL is a really good D\S dac.
