Hi,
We're taking a slightly different direction. More details later this year.
Cheers.

I already have the iUSB 3.0 micro, though IMO it would've made more sense to get the iUSB 3.0 nano with an internal battery as its linear power supply for portability purposes.
The nano iUSB3.0 doesn't have a battery.
Hi,
The iP2 and nano iUSB3.0 and micro iUSB3.0 all perform the same duties.
So if you have the nano iUSB3.0 you dont need the iPurifier2. The iPurifier2 is not inside the nano or micro iUSB3.0 (as it were).
They all have the REclock/REgenerate/REbalance technologies for example.
Cheers.
To answer your question, the following would be our recommendation.
If your USB DAC is:
1) USB dac
2) USB dac US$500 to US$5k eg iFi/Chord = nano USB3.0.
3) USB dac >US$5k eg DCS/AMR = micro iUSB3.0.
Hopefully this summary shows that if you have a
But if you are thinking of upgrading in the future your DAC, then the nano USB3.0 is the ideal one as it is half the price of the micro USB3.0 flagship but has 85% of the performance/features. It does need the mains from the iPOWER so is not portable like the iPurifier2 which is USB-powered.
Cheers.
After six months of owning the iFi iUSB3.0 and nearly a month with the iPurifier2, I can tell the difference between the two on the iDAC2 which is under $500. The iUSB3.0 has richer bass, and more depth to the stage. I think the don't buy under this price rule is more for stopping people from having a USB filter that is more expensive than their DAC. I'm not buying that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I suggest how you will use them is the most important factor. iPurifier2 gives some sonic improvement (tighter bass, very slight increase in soundstage depth) and is extremely portable. The micro iUSB3.0 is a pain to transport. The Nano iUSB3.0 falls in between.
Would this be suitable for use with my Audeze Deckard DAC/AMP?
Nearly purchased the Schiit wyrd but tempted to give this a go instead.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
