    iFi audio - Introducing the ZEN DAC Signature V2 and ZEN CAN Signature HFM, Perfectly Balanced As All Things Should Be!

    I am considering getting an iFi Zen Dac Signature, either v1 or v2. V1 version is less expensive now, around 25% less than V2, so that is a plus for the V1. @iFi audio why is the newer V2 supplied with a regular 5V power supply, while the V1 is/was supplied with the iPowerX? With this...

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    I am also interested in this, as I use a Logitech Harmony remote for all my setups. Maybe iFi would be AMR? If not, one can always "teach" the majority of Logitech remotes using the original remote (iFi in this case)...

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    Great, thanks for clarifying! I checked the information on the website and did not find anything regarding a remote control, but apparently it does come with one. Another positive for the iCan Pro :)

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    Indeed, I have been using "aftermarket" USB cables. But I will gladly buy an original Apple Camera connection kit if that solves the issue! Will try that, thanks. The reason I cannot try both options is really related to the cost! ;) Anyway, your suggestion of investing now more on a better...

    Fantastic input Katie88, thanks so much! :ok_hand: Let me contextualize a bit better my setups and all my questions/doubts: 1 - At work I have been using the iFi Micro iDSD (with Roon for my library and Tidal-Hifi) with the Sennheiser HD800 (original non-S version). It is quite good, mostly...

    ifI iCan Pro - Impressions & Discussion

    Thanks iFi team! I am not really an expert to understand those technical differences, but if I understood correctly, in that case I assume an iFi Micro iDSD will still be a better option than the new Pro iDSD if it is to be used mostly with Headphones, in this case the Sennheiser HD800. Does...
