    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    I know this might be silly, but did you actually turn your device on ? On my Nano BL, the device just had to be plugged in without having to turn it on and it would be detected. On the Signature, the knob has to be turned on.

    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    Well i decided to go ahead and update my device, which shipped with version 1.5 for some reason to firmware 7.2 and the upgrade went smoothly. Unit now shows 7.2 in system information :)

    I just received my unit, and everything seems to be working properly, but when I went to check which FW version it was on, it said 1.5 I read previously a few other members had this issue also, and when I checked my serial number it takes me to the 7. of Firmwares. Is it safe to upgrade, and...

    Did you restart the player with the hold position up ?

    Great to see this thread back on its feet and can’t wait for this new FW to drop. My only gripe with the original FE and all the other Z1 based FWs was their certain lack of dynamism after extensively using them, at least with my gear. This looks to remedy it.

    I never had a recessed mid range problems especially with Male vocals with any of the Stock, WM1AZ+ and Chameleon FWs. For some reason MK2 exacerbated this issue for me, and FE fixed it back along with great bass and airy soundstage. Also using J region..

    Installed the FE firmware, and it definitely improved my biggest gripe I had with the MK2 version which was recessed vocals in relation to the overall mix. I also noticed that I had to raise the volume by 5 clicks to where I usually listen to get the full benefit of this Firmware. This is when...

    Send us a picture of your cable, it will be easier to say whether it will work or not.

    Why would I ? 3.5mm Balanced (Note the Balanced part on 3.5mm, this is not your regular 3.5mm cable) to 4.4mm Balanced. This is the only way to use this adapter.

    Sony Walkman custom firmware (non-Android)

    I have this adapter, and used it to convert my 3.5mm balanced cable to 4.4mm. The Ifi Nano Black can use 3.5mm balanced and I got this cable specifically for it. Unfortunately when using the adapter on my WM1A, there is a considerable drop-off in sound quality, so I ended up buying new cables...

    I also found that I could listen to the MK2 firmware for hours without having listening fatigue. The treble is really spot on. Compared to WM1Z+ and MK1 you really notice the difference. The soundstage is not as wide as MK1, but it’s more balanced overall. I’m guessing that in order to create...

    MK2 rock and loaded now !! So far it seems to bring the 3D effect of WM1Z+ with the refinements of MK1 together, also treble is more smoother and easy on the ears. First impressions are extremely positive, and looking forward to spend more time with it. As always, thank you @MrWalkman 🙌🏼
