I am already using the BL (and loving it) decked out with iUSB3 and ICAN PRO. But the iDSD's DAC portion is much more versatile and the inbuilt upsampling settings are what makes me with for an iDSD Lite :)

Would the great people at Ifi-Audio consider making a Lite or Special Edition of the idsd pro that is more affordable or higher in value-add to those who already have a head amp they love and do not need the redundant features of the current design? I would envision the iDSD Pro Lite to be a...

The idea of greek lambskin smells and feels great! However, perspiration is a big enemy of leather, and delicate earpads made of supple leather might be even more vulnerable.   Question: Are there any good leather protector fluids (such as Scotchguard for fabrics) that can prevent the...
