What was wrong with the Arcam ST60? Except for not having a USB input, it seems like a fairly good unit.
Not trying to sell you high priced cables... but some info on this here;What kind of equipment is the connector labeled IIS LVDS supposed to connect to?
True... but then on the other side of the coin if it goes to a 220/230V market and they don't read the warning... suddenly will have double voltage hitting the PSU, which won't have the same result as under-voltage. It seems a PSU that accepts both is a better solution.
So they wouldn’t be recommended for any dynamic headphones in the sub 50 ohm (and even beyond) category, which is maybe 90% of the headphones out there? how is it not disastrous? I know Amir tested with his 23 ohm ether cx but planars are different animals.10 ohm range. Nothing disastrous IMO. Power output looks perfectly fine in any case
Because I believe with ~10ohm the effect is still relatively small (it is there but maybe benign/not really all that bad). And as you say with planars it's no issue.So they wouldn’t be recommended for any dynamic headphones in the sub 50 ohm (and even beyond) category, which is maybe 90% of the headphones out there? how is it not disastrous?

Can be small, can be big, we need to see the impedance curve of the headphone for this, but the thing is, you buy this you don’t know if your headphone will sound the same. An amp that has the potential to modify the frequency response is much audible. We see products here being slammed for issues much much less audible than that!Because I believe with ~10ohm the effect is still relatively small (it is there but maybe benign/not really all that bad).

The solution is not to see it as a streamerPutting all the measurements aside honestly I do not understand the feature set of this fairly expensive device.
No support for NAS, DLNA, Spotify and their MA Player.
A good streamer should at least provide access to most of the digital sources via a user friendly GUI.
I‘m a little bit surprised about the recommendation!
MiniDSP SHD has no headphone out, most other streaming DACs don't have analog in (citation needed). Any EQ option built in here? If so it's seems to be a great, compact, nearly full service preamp.
The Mini-i Pro 3 is not DLNA because it has the MA Lite chip, also meaning it does not support the MA app. The target for this device is Roon customers, simple as that. With Roon you get support for NAS, Tidal and Quobuz. The Mini-i Pro 3 has Airplay 2 support as well, though. Regarding how it handles headphones, check the review from Z Reviews.
I keep expecting the review to shoot the thing
