I find it sounds the same from all sources if using bit perfect playback software. Android down and up samples everything to 48khz unless using apps like, USB Audio Player Pro, Roon ARC, Neutron or other apps with their own Android usb drivers. iPad or iPho7ne will sound the same too with...

I love the versatility and portability of the gryphon, especially if you travel and move about a lot. The signature still has a better sound for me but gryphon is no slouch. Signature has more weight, depth and warmth, gryphone a little lighter sounding but not by much. There's definitely a big...

Hi all, I'm an early iDSD Signature purchaser and also have RME ADI-2 DAC, iBasso DX228 and iDSD Gryphon and the Signature is still way and above my favourite sounding DAC/AMP with my Fostex TH610 Lawton Headphones. Lush, just a slight bit of warmth and full bodied with a sweet finish... much...

I have this issue occasionally with my ALO litz pure silver 4.4... small rotation fixes it https://flic.kr/p/2nxvaNC

yeah I was on much earlier fw from when I purchased ages ago. did the first fw upgrade that came out after launch months ago and nothing since. Was referring to dim after 10 mins. for me just used to have high, low and off or something like that.

Anyone else try latest Gryphon XMOS 1.53fw and BT 2.15fw ? I've just installed and like the new functionality! Nice work ifi! New Gaia app allows you to turn off any BT codecs you don't want to use. Volume limiter is great and no more blasting head off with sync vol! Volume lock cool! Volume...

Yes that's the right cable and it should work. Bit of a big stack. Wouldn't you be better off with a chromecast audio though? (if using Android phone) I was using Chromecast audio for a while and then decided to dedicate an iPhone SE to transport duties. :) iFi iDSD Signature Chromcast Audio...

Hi All I’ve got the Harmony Hub paired with an iPad and iPhone to control Roon over Bluetooth with Micro iFi iDSD Signature. I added a Harmony Pro / BT Apple TV 4 device and then created an activity with all my components I wanted to control. Then I added a keyboard device to the BT Apple TV4...

My mini review from another forum. The iFi Micro iDSD Signature can do DSD256 DoP with firmware 5.2. I have one and it sounds better than my RME ADI-2 DAC. On Firmware 5.3, DSD is reduced to DSD128 DoP because they shuffled around some code in the XMOS USB chip to enable MQA rendering...

I'm interested in how you perceive the sound differences of the different inputs. I know i can hear very small differences in sound stage, presence, frequency, tonality and attack/timing from listening to different DACs, filters, Amps and whatnot. I can however only find one difference with...

You could try using an old iphone, ipad or cheap(ish) ipod touch with a lightning camera cable as a streamer for the iDSD Pro. I'm doing exactly that with a Micro iDSD Signature with iPhone SE and it's wonderful. Not ideal for the iDSD Pro when it's so close to being a useful streaming DAC on...

There is only one firmware available with GTO and it includes MQA according to my search. GTO won't work at same time as MQA it's one or the other, otherwise it wouldn't be MQA. It's been mentioned previously by a rep that GTO applies to all filter switch positions except when playing MQA or...

Unfortunately not. The XMOS USB chip is being tasked with renderer MQA (filter) duties in the ifi iDSD range. The optical / spdif has no such input processsing so it can't take advantage of MQA.

Thanks but I dont need to use it for anything but as a DAP anyway and I want to make sure it stays stuck. ;)

I've downscaled the rig. ;) iPhone SE 256GB permanently mounted with double sided tape... sometimes you just have to go with the simple.... but extravagant. I tried getting used to carrying around an iPad Mini, using with my Galaxy S20 Ultra, and in the store I tried the iPod touch, smallest...
