This is my pleasure that I will be the tester of ifi new product, idsd black lablel (let us be short as BL).
As a newbie of headfi, I am whole heartly to try difference devices.
When I first read about the spec of the BL, I talk to myself that "woo......." From technical perspective, the components are good and I reach to exited mode that I want to test the BL.
The appearance is just as as the previous version, just changing the colour from silver to black. To me, I don't care on the appearance while I just focus on the sound is match with my preference or not.
The device can support optical, usb but unfortunately, my on hand dap (Paw Gold and DX 90) haven't optical out, the coxial in of BL can't match with DX90 coxial out. The usb connection, is difference with mojo and vantam. I just can test the amplifier function. (iDSD primary design is for desktop connection)
I think there are many reviews of Paw Gold and I don't explain anymore. I just talk about my personal feel of Paw Gold line out to BL. I listen my sound with using a pair of CIEM, Oriolus 2 only. I set the power to normal.
My comment is very simple, just same as the colour of the device, BLACK. I can't hear any noise from the BL. The background is too dark and I just can pay my full attention to listen my music with no any interference.
The power is enough and driven my earphone give me a sense of "enrich, solid". Even less than medium volume can drive my earphone. To my sense of hearing, the vocal (especially female singer) is charming and attractive. This is easily for me to imagine a lady ,standing on a stage, is singing a song for me.
When the Bass enhance button is on, the bass will be increase 3db (I guess). As Oriolus 2 is a 4-driver hybrid earphone, this can give me a sense of warm surrounding me.
However, 3D function is really bad to me. Once open the function, I just feel that all sounds stick together and spoil all music that I am listening.
Thanks
