    Review by 'bapspidoff' on item 'iFi Audio micro iDSD'

    First of all, thank you so much to Ifi-Audio for sending me a black edition to review for free! Really awesome of them to involve the audio community to such a degree.   I will keep this review relatively simple. I have the original silver Micro iDSD so it only makes sense to compare the two...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    FWIW, I actually prefer the micro iDSD amp to the Asgard 2. I really enjoy the 3D and xbass effects on my HE500s and I've actually found several schiit products, the Asgard 2 included, to be slightly grainy/dry. I love the ifi products for their smooth detailed sound and in this case I prefer...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    I can confirm that this exact same thing happened to me last night. Was listening to the micro when it suddenly turned off (supposedly due to low battery). I went to plug it into my iPad charger with the blue usb3 cable but noticed that the blue LED came on for only a second before turning off...

    I've had the loki, nano and micro. The nano was significantly better and smoother than the loki. The micro is significantly better than the nano.

    Got my iDSD Micro today as well! Just waiting for the blue LED to turn off :rolleyes: EDIT: Oh. My. God. Coming from an iDSD Nano & Schiit Asgard 2 (w/ T50RP and HE-500) the difference is just... wow. There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to express how impressed I am with this...

    Ever so slightly off topic but does anyone know if there is hardware currently available that is capable of recording DSD 512? For DSD 256 there is the Merging Tech Horus and the DAD AX32, but is there anything for 512 yet?

    I actually have read every single post in the thread but when I read that post the first time I guess i missed the HUGE detail that the idsd micro accepts a FEMALE plug. I just assumed it was male and even the picture didn't change that assumption... my bad! Carry on...

    Are you saying that the female end plugs into the idsd micro without an adapter? If so, that is really bizarre and I've never seen anything like it before...

    No one has mentioned this yet so maybe I'm missing something, but why is there no USB A male > USB A male cable included? Wouldn't that be the obvious choice to connect the idsd micro to a laptop? I mean, the nano came with a male > male USB cable.... I'm just confused.

    As someone living on the West Coast, USA, what dealer should I pre-order from to guarantee I get one of the special first production units? Will all authorized dealers in the US be getting the special first batch?

    Fostex T50RP Incremental Mods and Measurements

    Very cool, I definitely want to try the cotton balls now. I have these on hand: http://www.amazon.com/Rite-Renewal-Cotton-Balls-Triple/dp/B005V25E4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1363799584&sr=8-2&keywords=rite+aid+cotton+balls Looks like different packaging though.... Think they'll work okay?  ...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    I'm currently using the M&M stack with T50RPs (BMF DBV 3) and I must say that I have been blown away by the sound quality.   There is a very noticeable improvement in all areas upgrading from my previous setup which was a Audio Kontrol 1 DAC/amp combo (not the greatest rig, I'm aware, but...
