    iFi audio NEO iDSD - The Performance Edition is here! (INFO: Post 837, Page 56)

    For I while I was using the NEO with a Pi 4 without dropouts. I used the original power adapter to power the NEO, which was connected to the Pi with a USB 3 cable. Check the wireless connection on the Pi. Recently, I got a few dropouts with another DAC. It turned out my Pi is connecting at...

    The MQA decoding process is happening inside Roon instead of the NEO iDSD. I think this is because you have Crossfade enabled. Turn that off and see if it will decide inside the DAC.

    I few things I discovered about the NEO iDSD: it can be USB powered (I forgot about the power adapter and it still worked) it is a damn good balanced DAC (you are practically getting the amp for free) native DSD works fine with RoPieee (if you use Roon and Raspberry Pi)

    I got a new integrated amp for my speakers and I am temporarily using my NEO iDSD as a pure DAC. It is working well but I want it back for my headphones. Does iFi make a pure DAC with XLR outputs? I am also looking at the Modius and the Bifrost 2. I will be using Roon for room correction DSP...

    Can the NEO send variable output to the headphone and fixed output to the XLR jacks?

    Silly question... is it recommended to leave the NEO iDSD turned on at all times?

    Does the NEO iDSD benefit from having the input upsampled to DSD128 or 256 in the computer? I am doing this now in Audirvana and it sounds great. But it may be psychological...

    I just got the NEO iDSD this week. Very impressive! Just love the sound. Does it do internal resampling of PCM or DSD streams? I think it sounds better with Audirvana modulating everything non-MQA to DSD256. Just wondering.

    Just ordered a NEO iDSD. Does it decode MQA from TOSLINK and COAXIAL? Or is it USB only? Thanks.

    Looking for transport like Xduoo X10T II

    Will the volume control on some bluetooth headsets be able to control the volume when paired with the X10T? Or are those button simply sending commands back to the device?

    Cayin N3Pro DAP: Dual AK4493 and MQA with Vacuum Tube

    I am thinking of getting one as a dedicated (bus-powered) desktop dac/amp. Am I crazy? I want something compact as I work out of a dining table now. I also want something fun, like tube/SS modes. I have not decided which headphone to get yet. Probably a Sennheiser HD 650, HifiMan Sundara or...
