    iFi audio Pro iDSD Signature and Pro iCAN Signature - The Pro range just got better!

    On the Pro iDSD remote there is a "Play/Pause" button, is it working for you? I can remotely control every other functions but not this one.

    Is it possible to revert back to a specific version (release and beta) if upgrading worsen a problem?

    iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

    Maybe just look at upgrading the power of the Pro iDSD to a iPower Elite 15V, it's a good upgrade

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Yeah! It works pretty well with Radio stations with lower buffer settings, but with theses, listening to DSD files becomes impractical, it's stutters like crazy for many seconds. I guess ifi can find a way to adapt dynamically buffer settings related to the weight of the content been played? I...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    From my experience so far, MQA is working good with my Pro iDSD. It's just that with Tidal Connect sometimes the playlist stops or skip. And there are some stability issues where I need to disconnect and reconnect the playback device (the Stream). Playing DLNA files, the Stream is slow to load...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Yes, a big improvement when the Elite is behind the DAC. And little to no improvement when the Elite powers the Zen Stream. An improvement for me means that I can detect the changes without having to search for it, as listening to music instead of equipments.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    I have the ifi iPower Elite, it's very good for a DAC (as the Pro iDSD), but for the Zen Stream there is little to gain. Now with the Stream I use the stock iPower Plus that once powered the Pro iDSD. I think the Elite is overkill for the Zen Stream.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Is it only me? Radio stations take forever to connect and play (at least 20-40s on every station change). Either using Android/BubbleUPNP or ifi apps, it takes at least 20s to load. DSD files (2x and up) still stutters even with 32MB of "buffer size" and 30% "buffer before play" (and why it...

    iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

    Sharing: I tried the iPower Elite 15V with the Pro IDSD, as a DAC the difference is significant. More focused, better soundstage, maybe a bit less bass, but definitely tighter, the attacks and highs seems more present but the highs are silkier than before. Because of that, the tonal balance...

    iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

    Now that the Zen Stream is out, will ifi work at upgrading the streamer function of the Pro iDSD? I think ifi's flagship totally deserves this love too. Also it will manifest that when ifi says "future proofed" it really is!

    iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

    Will we soon be able to benefit from Tidal Connect support for the Pro iDSD ? It's been a while since the last update, and as a streamer, it leaves plenty of room for improvement. Please!!!

    iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

    So practically speaking, between 2.01 and 2.08 I shouldn't ear a different sound signature? There is no problem if I flash the device back and forth between versions to verify if I imagining things or not?

    iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

    It seems the 2.08 firmware makes the Pro iDSD losing some of it's warmness while adding more soundstage depth. What were the areas of sound improvements looked for in firmware 2.08? Before I had version 2.02 (updated by ifi themselves when they came at Montreal audiofest). Now I can only go...
