iPad iPhone bit-perfect DLNA/UPnP wi-fi streaming 24bit or DSD files / high storage capacity / portability
Apologies for the slow reply. I'm away from my PC at the moment, so can't double-check, but it's quite straightforward. I'm pretty sure the description below is accurate. Firstly, the foobar2000 free encoder pack needs to be installed; you can find it at http://www.foobar2000.org/encoderpack...- GrahamL

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
Is anyone else here using the public beta of iOS 9, and finding that they can't use anything over 24/96 with their iDSD Micro? Everything up to 24/96 works well, as usual, but anything over that (inc DSD64 over DoP) results in no audio. The Micro detects the correct bit rate (LED turns yellow...- GrahamL

NEW APP ALERT! Spurred on by Apple's idiot decision to remove Home Sharing from the latest version of iOS, I thought I'd do the usual periodic check of the App Store to see if there was finally an app that ticks all my boxes with respect to hi-res listening. What I found was Ne Player from a...- GrahamL

WARNING - iTunes Home Sharing removed from IOS 8.4
Agreed. I've just tweeted Eddy Cue, for what it's worth, and will look for other avenues to complain. This is a terrible way for Apple to operate. It would have been annoying enough if they'd have given a warning, but to just pull the rug from under those people whose home listening is built...- GrahamL

WARNING - iTunes Home Sharing removed from IOS 8.4
Hi, If, like me, you rely on iTunes Home Sharing to feed your iPod/iPhone + DAC with music, please be aware that Apple have, without warning, removed music Home Sharing from IOS 8.4, which was released a few hours ago. An arrogant move from Apple, who I generally like. Home Sharing was a...- GrahamL

Sodafish, it's an excellent point you raise. Although I love the iDSD Micro in pretty much every respect, I really wish ifi had dropped some of the more pointless logos from the bottom of the unit, and instead included something useful such as proper labelling for the filter switch and/or...- GrahamL

All, You may be interested in the method I've used to get native DSD to my iPhone+iDSD micro at home, using iTunes Home Sharing: http://www.head-fi.org/t/625493/ipad-iphone-bit-perfect-wi-fi-streaming-24bit-or-dsd-files-high-storage-capacity-portability/210#post_11421607 As an iTunes...- GrahamL

iPad iPhone bit-perfect DLNA/UPnP wi-fi streaming 24bit or DSD files / high storage capacity / portability
Hi, Just wanted to share my experiences using iTunes Home Sharing to deliver DSD to my iOS devices at home. I've been using Home Sharing for up to 24/192 PCM for some time. I disagree with the "really bad interface" comment in the first post. For me, this is the most native solution...- GrahamL

@iFi audio Do you have an estimate when the latest beta firmware will complete testing and be made generally available please? The changelog suggests this new version may be very useful! Cheers :-)- GrahamL

Thanks for the reply. Mine's a new unit; the version you linked (v4.06) is already installed. v4.06 fixes the pop in some use cases, but not mine unfortunately. The changelog for the latest beta (v0.16) says "Fix completely clicks when switching between PCM and DoP DSD" which I can't wait...- GrahamL

Calling iClub members! Can anyone comment on how well the latest beta firmware overcomes the DSD popping "issue" please? I'm not an iClub member so can't test it. I'm currently trying two methods of delivering DoP to my iPhone/iPad over the network. Both work well other than the pops on track...- GrahamL

ios7, iPhone and Apple CCK
I'm glad my point was well taken - I sometimes worry about the fine line between "to the point" and agressive I would perhaps try closing all the background apps on the 5c (which you can do 3 at a time with iOS 7's new app switcher!) and see if that makes a difference. Multitasking works...- GrahamL

ios7, iPhone and Apple CCK
Regarding iPhone, this broad assertion is incorrect. Everything up to 24/96 playback, including higher sample rates that are downsampled on the fly, work perfectly on my iPhone 4s and Dragonfly, using the stock music app + iTunes Home Sharing. If you're getting stuttering, it's possible you've...- GrahamL
