I do not have doubts that you guys are working on a way to make the Idsd pro and pro signature roon ready, they are excellent gear, and with the price we have paid, they deserve to fully be that "jack of all trades" that they really are

The subject of Roon isn't lost and our R&D still thinks on how to make it. Although I can't promise anything specific, if that utility is possible to add, at some point it will be. Thanks!

I just got my iCan in to pair with my iDSD. On the back of the iDSD theres a DC15v DC loop out that I can connect to the iCan. Does anyone know what kind of cable I need for this? Can someone link me a short one on Amazon? I assume if I use the DC loop out, I wouldn't need to run the two power blocks, and I can just use the one right?

correct , all you need is a dc to dc cable should find cheap ones on Amazon just make sure it has the same nozzle size as the power bricks and it’ll let you run both on one

Do you happen to know the size I need? I don't see it on the manual , or if its just generic size

2.1mm to 2.1mm (barrel connector end size, not length of cable)

I have spare oyaide connector based premium cable if you want something better than generic.

Affirmative, that's the correct size, thanks!

Not sure what to expect from the AMP in the Pro iDSD Signature, what kind of headphone could I use directly with it and which would require a separate AMP like the iCAN? Could something like the Focal Clear be used directly? What about the Arya? Thanks.

Most Pro iDSD Signature owners are happy with its in-built amp even for their difficult loads, but some really tough cans (Susvara, I'm looking at you ) would benefit from an external amp that's more powerful. With Clears and Aryas you should be good, thanks!

Power wise my Arya and Stellia are great with just the iDSD pro what you loose without the I can is only sound Tailoring flexibility.

That's true, but there's also authority, instrumental separation and ambience, especially in case of headphones tough to drive, thanks!

And this is exactly what I think that the I CAN adds to the table in addition to the iDSD….

Thanks, it's always cool to read when other folks see certain connections the same way as we do

while I agree it does add more and the combination of the two is better than either alone if on a budget having the i DSD first with easy to drive HP would be my first choice if I was doing it over again. That said the added flexibility and power the iCAN provides is just sublime.
