    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    Hi Sebastien, can you confirm that the Signature with xu208 XMOS is safe to be flashed with 7.2c firmware just as it is said on the ifi download site? The unit lost MQA feature with basic Firmware XMOS but that is the only firmware (how about 7.2c?) can be used on PS4/PS5. Thanks~

    I would suggest that you get one of this below. I use them in all my laptops with internal batteries to avoid overcharging and potential fire risk when I am away.

    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    Hi Sebastien, the serial# is 20140006XX It seems that the firmware 7.2c includes all functions of Firmware XMOS (Release date: October 19, 2021) and Firmware 5.3c (Release date: September 10, 2018). If the unit could be installed with it it would be the best of both worlds. Attached a...

    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    Is it possible to flash XU208 XMOS with Firmware 7.2c (supposed to only apply to XMOS XU216)? The IFI download hub says my unit is ok with Firmware 7.2c.

    Tidal Masters & MQA Thread!

    Thanks. That totally makes sense now. I thought it was just my imagination. Most of the Tidal MQA album sounds worse than my CD rips files even though after been switched off Master to HIFI.

    Tidal Masters & MQA Thread!

    I have read the same thing too. Below article I have just found the author was able to compare Tidal and Qobuz's redbook and non-MQA files. So I guess in some case the HIFI and Masters settings are different 16 bit 44.1khz files...

    Tidal Masters & MQA Thread!

    A quick question guys, is the HIFI setting in Tidal a true normal FLAC data or it's just the WAV data from MQA edcoded FLAC? I kind of feel the MQA encoding is lacking transparency and have been trying to avoid it. Thanks in advance.

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    If you like the sound of the Diablo it's worth trying to add the iEMatch+ in between. I will report back once I receive it.

    Sounds right. Or maybe high impedance low sensitivity headphones.

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    I am listening at around 10 o'clock with my balanced HD6xx. It's still too loud even on ECO mode. I have to put in an order for the iEMatch+ hopefully it will work with my B&W P7. The Diablo is just too powerful for most of the headphones. I don't think digital volume control would solve this...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    I believed the one I received is an early production with a US serial # less than 100 (weird that iPurifier is not inclued as the gift). The stock firmware when I upgraded has shown V1.5.

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    Hi there, I can't get a green or blue light (always in magenta) on my Diablo with Tidal iOS app playing MQA content. Does anyone know how to let it bypass software unfolding? Thanks

    End-game Dac hunting 4-5k

    HD 580 Jubilee (I have kept it for more than 10 years) and HD800s are actually great headphones and are very sensitive to sources and power capacity. The P7 may not be on the same level however it's easy to drive and it can easily tell you difference from different sources. I have both the P7...

    The HA 200 looks very tempting. I will see if there is any place in my local area for an audition.

    End-game Dac hunting 4-5k

    What are the best amp combo DACs if price is not an issue? Would you consider Nagra HD DAC and Chord Dave even though they are more than 5 years old already and will be replaced very soon? dCS Bartok is a good one but I am not very impressed by its performance as well as appearance and is a bit...

    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    Just made a comparison between GTO (5.3C firmware) and Bit Perfect filters tonight. I I kind of prefer the Bit Perfect setting that comes out a more transparent sounding with more micro details. The soundstage seems to be larger too with a clearer positioning. I will keep Bit Perfect for now.

    Thank you. I will look into the Cable Creations. Just ordered couple days ago below a different version (Nylon Braided) of the UGREEN cable. Will compare all of them when arrive. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B086ZGYCLD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    I am not sure about how the signature will pair with your headphones as I don't have any of them. I do have the Mojo and also a Dragonfly Cobalt. The signature outperforms both of them using my B&W P7 which is an easy driven headphone and already sounds so good in the Mojo and Cobalt. The P7 is...

    iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!

    If I was to plan to use it as a desktop DAC I would get the Neo. It is way more convenient to use especially one does not need to worry about battery level (it is running out very quickly) and unplug the USB C cable every time the signature is in no use (for safety reason I don't keep any...
