I believe default position is + for polarity.

Mine came with polarity set to positive.

Okay, thank you very much for your answers!!

Thank you very much for the very informative bit!

The default position is (-) for polarity, no?

On the contrary, it is "+" which preserves the polarity of the recording.

Thank you!

I changed it a few times around and forgot which state was meant to keep the original polarity of the song.

I will play more with it and testing it in the next few days, it got me curious to understand how it influences the sound, or rather how will it sound to me.

Got my Sony xz premium and it does not work with idsd black. Tried Onkyo and it won't detect usb. Tried choosing audio output in usb developer options. Any help is appreciated.

I am not sure how to help you there, it just works natively with F2K and VLC for me

But it is not working for google play music as well. Did you choose any particular mode or setting?

Hey guys, if you lost you iDSD or it gets broken, would you buy it again? Or would you buy another DAC & amp?

For the BL I would. Don't know any other portable all-in-ones that sounds this good or has as much power.

In a heartbeat. Until they release a Black Label with balanced out, I will consider this my endgame portable DAC/amp.

For transportable this for sure but portable I'll go with the mojo.

I just plugged it in, works natively with Xiaomi Mi Max.

The only thing I think I do is that I turn the volume wheel to "on" before plugging in the USB so it doesn't try to drain power from the phone, it should work driverless and hassle-free from Android phones.

Yes, most probably iDSD would be my top choice again, at least compared to all devices I heard so far, it would surely be. It is the one thing that impressed me the most when it comes to DAC/AMP technologies and I explored a lot of those.

The only thing that people recommend and I am really curious is to stack iDSD BL with iCAN SE, which I am probably going to try soon, looks like there are a lot of fun and enjoyable devices made by iFi, when I find something that I like, I stick to it like glue.

Hi

Can you list if you are using another USB cable and what it is, if you are not using the blue one that comes with the iDSD.

I am using two cables for my listening, one is the cable that came with iDSD BL and the other cable is an OTG that came with the first generation of FiiO X5. I hope this helps you in some way!

For android, I am pretty sure one needs an OTG cable to make it work.
