FWIW, I actually prefer the micro iDSD amp to the Asgard 2. I really enjoy the 3D and xbass effects on my HE500s and I've actually found several schiit products, the Asgard 2 included, to be slightly grainy/dry. I love the ifi products for their smooth detailed sound and in this case I prefer...

I can confirm that this exact same thing happened to me last night. Was listening to the micro when it suddenly turned off (supposedly due to low battery). I went to plug it into my iPad charger with the blue usb3 cable but noticed that the blue LED came on for only a second before turning off...

I've had the loki, nano and micro. The nano was significantly better and smoother than the loki. The micro is significantly better than the nano.

Got my iDSD Micro today as well! Just waiting for the blue LED to turn off :rolleyes: EDIT: Oh. My. God. Coming from an iDSD Nano & Schiit Asgard 2 (w/ T50RP and HE-500) the difference is just... wow. There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to express how impressed I am with this...

Ever so slightly off topic but does anyone know if there is hardware currently available that is capable of recording DSD 512? For DSD 256 there is the Merging Tech Horus and the DAD AX32, but is there anything for 512 yet?

I actually have read every single post in the thread but when I read that post the first time I guess i missed the HUGE detail that the idsd micro accepts a FEMALE plug. I just assumed it was male and even the picture didn't change that assumption... my bad! Carry on...

Are you saying that the female end plugs into the idsd micro without an adapter? If so, that is really bizarre and I've never seen anything like it before...

No one has mentioned this yet so maybe I'm missing something, but why is there no USB A male > USB A male cable included? Wouldn't that be the obvious choice to connect the idsd micro to a laptop? I mean, the nano came with a male > male USB cable.... I'm just confused.

As someone living on the West Coast, USA, what dealer should I pre-order from to guarantee I get one of the special first production units? Will all authorized dealers in the US be getting the special first batch?

Lots of great ideas in this thread!   Here's what I've got so far (feel free to add or subtract an "i"):   iHush iTemper iLimit iLevel iBalance iDissipate iTame iPoise MolliFi MODiRATE iDapt iCap iDamp iLliance iCalm iFi Synergy iFi Harmony iFi Serenity iFi Placid iFi...

does anyone know where you can buy these online? it's proven pretty hard to find...

Very cool, I definitely want to try the cotton balls now. I have these on hand: http://www.amazon.com/Rite-Renewal-Cotton-Balls-Triple/dp/B005V25E4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1363799584&sr=8-2&keywords=rite+aid+cotton+balls Looks like different packaging though.... Think they'll work okay?  ...

I'm currently using the M&M stack with T50RPs (BMF DBV 3) and I must say that I have been blown away by the sound quality.   There is a very noticeable improvement in all areas upgrading from my previous setup which was a Audio Kontrol 1 DAC/amp combo (not the greatest rig, I'm aware, but...

Just got crucified on Youtube for claiming that the magni is very capable of driving 600 ohm cans. People just won't hear of it. Was I way out of line?

OK, I need some help. I have been tormented for the past couple months or so with the perception that the left side of my T50RPs is significantly louder than the right side. I have tried a ton of things to try to make sure this is the case, and not just crappy hearing. I have tried different...

Are you suggesting stuffing the stock pads inside of the 840 pads? (That's what the picture you posted looked like, to me, at least.)

Hey guys, here is a very specific question... I am quite happy with my current mod of the T50RPs but the one thing that I'm not sure about is the bass. My other pair of cans is the Audio Technica M50 and their bass seems superior. I would estimate that with my mod the T50RP's bass is ~70-80%...

Thanks everyone for your tips and advice. After fooling around for a couple hours I think I have found the sound I was searching for. This is what I did:   1. Added a ring of silverstone foam to the ear side baffle with a 4x4cm square cut out in the middle over the driver. 2. Inserted a...

Ok, so to clarify, you are saying to keep the dust cover intact but to add another stiff piece of felt over the driver on the ear side? I can try that. I guess the other thing to try is to remove the transpore tape although for some reason I doubt that is the issue. Also, I don't want to open up...

Hello everyone, first post here!   Let me first say thanks to all of you who have contributed to this thread, your creativity and passion are remarkable.    I just received my first pair of T50rp headphones yesterday and naturally I spent all last night modifying them. I sort of mixed...
