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

    when i do listen for longer period, i try to disable as many processes on task manager - specially  windows search as this would jump into the scene  for no apparent reason,when only music is being  played, taking about 40 per cent load, on top of what the foobar asio is taking affecting sq...

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

    i did try octa with foobar and it worked on my old dual core laptop. the limiting factor with regard to sq is the cpu load, at that sampling rate, overdriving the cpu at 60 to 80 per cent. i found the best sq was on dsd 128 as it was at 20 t0 25 percent cpu load, on sdm type b (fp 32), being...

    iDSD micro Black Label. Tour details (page 147). Release info (page 153).

    i am using my nano idsd with speakers most of the time. so will be my micro idsd, as a desktop player.   i am also disappointed  that the micro will have the usb a port unlike the nano with the usb 3 b  portwhich i have come to like.  i have the usb 3. its more robust construction fits firmly...

    iFi Audio Nano iDSD discussion + impression

    i am using foobar2000 to play all my pcm transcoded to quad DSD with my idsd on v4.0..... and foobar has  the option   to stream dsd natively or upconvert to 2xDSD or 4xDSD, ASIO direct.... to my ears, the 4xdsd is a step up from 2xdsd, DoP, on firmware 3.3  and even 2xDSD on v4.0
