    Reply to review by 'ieffsmale' on item 'iFi Audio micro iDSD'

    JUGA, The X-Bass also works very well on my iDSD Micro.  In my experience, the effect seems to be greater when running to an amp and speakers than with headphones.  (Same with the 3D switch.) This thing is amazing. I run my HD-650's in "Eco" and "Normal" power mode 90% of the time, and it powers...

    Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN

      You're right. At the time I made the donation, I thought that the upgraded DAC would be offered, not included when the stretch goal was met. In other words, I thought (perhaps foolishly) that I was paying for an upgrade to my unit if and when the stretch goal was met, not subsidizing everyone...

    ***UPDATE: The $339 was a typo, and has been corrected by Michael.  It now shows $399, just as on the HiFi Skyn IGG page and the CEntrance website.     I noticed on the DACportable page that Skyns are available for $339. I believe I pledged a grand total of $2 less than that, including the...

    Breaking-in headphones, the final verdict!

    Yep, I've thought this exact thing for years - the difference in how a piece of equipment or cable sounds over time, all other things being equal, can and often is at least partly a result of the listener gradually getting accustomed to that piece while the memory of the piece that it replaces...

    Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN

    Hopefully, a lesson was learned from the process of manufacturing in China.     Browsing the CEntrance website, I saw that the DACportable will be made in the USA.  I also noticed a couple of other "Made in USA" models - the HiFi-M8 and DACport.   Too bad the DACmini PX doesn't show that...

    My unit sounds fantastic.     The 3 gain settings are very nice, and I haven't had any trouble driving a variety of cans that I have on hand.  It is great to finally be able to drive my HD 650's to a decent volume level.  This was not even possible with the phone by itself, let alone with the...

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    Good deal, thanks for that info.   I am burning mine in now using the balanced inputs and no headphones, but will be experimenting with both balanced and SE once she's up and running.

    Balanced Cable, Adapter Options for Liquid Carbon and HD-650

    Folks,    I would like to use my Liquid Carbon in pure balanced mode - in and out.   What are some good options for accomplishing this with the HD-650's?   Is there an adapter that can be used without sacrificing audio quality?   If not, any balanced cable suggestions will be much...

    ☯️ CAVALLI AUDIO ➜ Liquid Carbon Lifetime Warranty

    Wow, this is unbelievable.  Retroactively extending a warranty from 1 year to lifetime, and on top of that effectively making it transferrable!   I don't recall ever seeing such a customer-friendly move by any company - not just in audio but for any product that I've ever owned for sure.  ...

    crazydeep,   Austin e-mailed me the link to the pdf manual, but the strange thing is that I cannot find a way to copy and paste either the link or the file itself. Maybe you can e-mail CEntrance and request one.   Anyway, it includes the following:    " Charging LED Overview...

    Sheldaze, What phone is it? Would you consider posting a picture or maybe two of the top, showing it snapped together with the top and bottom pieces lined up evenly with no gaps or bowing on the top or sides (with the phone in it)? What about a close-up of the camera lens with the case on...

    Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN

    So the campaign owner Michael posted an update today. He said that he hasn't been able to duplicate the issue of the Skyn not fitting the iPhone 6+. (No mention of the 6S+, which is wider, taller and deeper than the 6+ according to Apple's website.) He said that they will postpone shipping of...

    Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN

    Count me in the same camp, TimeLord. The key words are "if that will indeed even fix the issue". Also, will it affect the warranty? What if someone accidentally slips with the file or knife and makes an ugly gouge in the unit? A lot of questions, and still no answers from CEntrance although...

    Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN

    Mine doesn't fit, either (6S+). I've been e-mailing CEntrance and posting on their Indiegogo page for 3 days now. I did get a reply from Stacie today stating that they were looking into it. Again, as has been the case previously, it was a private email to me and nothing in the comments section...

    Michael, Having not read every post on here, other forums, Indiegogo, etc....I may have missed it, but I have a question: How is this a "misunderstanding"?  You clearly offered the Amp Extreme as an option for $79 in the campaign, while the Super Amp was clearly identified as "Standard".   It...

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

    Hello, Can someone from iFi tell me if the iClub CRM is still in business? I started a ticket there (#855092) dealing with a volume control issue that I was having. We went back and forth a couple of times, and iFi's last response on 08/07/2014 asked about the other components in my system. I...
