iDSD micro Black Label. Tour details (page 147). Release info (page 153).
Thank you for your help. However this page makes my question clearer. I know how to click on the 3 choices of DSD, PCM and DXD. But how do you change the choices within, such as extreme, extended or standard? I don't see any switches on the unit. Or does the unit do it automatically?- drjjpdc

iDSD micro Black Label. Tour details (page 147). Release info (page 153).
I would like some help with the digital filter selector. I have started to download hi-res files and get confused. When I download the files don't say the 3 letters here, but something like 16/24 bits and a Hz number after it. I'm not saying I want one choice for everything but how do I know...- drjjpdc

RSA **Predator** A review in stages ** With some "NEW" images on 1st and page 64 . . .
Dumb question. I know the mini-plug passes a stereo signal because of it's shape. But to use it as an input (say a cd player), I really need to use it with a y connector, correct?- drjjpdc

At least in my house the Predator is never far away from my laptop. I use the USB connector to connect it to my laptop. I have hi-res music files on my lapop and would not think of listening to them without my predator handy with my AKG K701 headphones. For me it is most relevant.- drjjpdc

As far as I know you can't. The Predator is sealed and can't be opened. However my Predator is at least 8-10 years old and my battery is probably passed on. I found this link on our own Head-Fi link...- drjjpdc

You do know that the black label has a charging dock on the side to charge a cell phone?- drjjpdc

I thought it was understood. Yes the entire unit amp/dac will work under USB power.- drjjpdc

I already talked to Ifi service and they informed me that even if the battery is dead, as long as it is hooked up to an electrical device with a usb connection the dac will still function. Presently I have my ifi black label dac plugged into my Roon Nucleus.- drjjpdc

That's why I mentioned my Fiio hi-rez player. Battery life for that is 10 hours, which is pretty long for me.- drjjpdc

I'm not sure that is a real concern since most of the time it is plugged into a computer or other electrical device. Read this Head-Fi page for a good explanation...- drjjpdc

Great thank you very much. That makes it easy on me. I don't always get to my audio mancave since I walk with a cane, since I will leave the Roon Nucleus on I can leave the black label in desktop mode always on too.- drjjpdc

iFi micro iDSD Black-Label - In-Depth Review
I am really embarrassed to ask this. The manual says it can USB power. It also says it can use battery power depending if the unit is turned on/off before connection. It also says that in battery power mode it will use battery power even if the usb charging cord is connected. When does the...- drjjpdc

IFI black label and Roon
Thank you I never thought of that. Before I decided to attach it to my Nucleus, it was next to my equipment stand connected to a desktop computer that was always left on. The direct /Preamp switch was handy. When listening to the main system I would use the direct mode, but with headphones I...- drjjpdc

I have an older set that I still like, AKG 701. I have an HDD in my Nucleus that has an ethernet connection to my router. I was planning on connecting it to my Pioneer blu ray player.- drjjpdc
