I see. For the diablo, if i am not mistaken, the channels do mix together internally at some point so its not truly a balanced dac as well. It's great to hear that there's no difference in sound still. I am more curious about how the battery behaves on the S Balanced cause on single ended I...

That's so great to hear, hope you get the sell soon. One last thing tho if you dont mind me asking. This and the Signature both have an S-Balanced 4.4 output at the front. Is it really noticeable compared to the single ended or it's more of a battery saving thing? I am wondering this since I am...

Oh yeah, you are right. Now I remember what Mr. Loesch said about the iUSB3.0 having a iDefender built in but not the galvanic isolator (although he fought for that to happen as it was intended to have it all in one box iirc). Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. I really...

I am interested as well, lets see. I see, i see. Yeah, that's what I heard as well from Mr. Loesch. It turned out to be a product intended for the CN market, hence the red colour lol. Jokes aside, about the clearer sound that might be cause they actually are into this kind of sound. Looking...

I dont remember if the iUSB 3.0 has galvanic isolation as well but when I use it in conjunction with the Signature and connected to my phone, I can hear a difference but in the way of the iUSB making the sound more organic and dark whereas when I connect it directly to my phone using the golden...

Interesting thoughts about this iGalvanic. Now I regret putting it up for sale, perhaps I will keep it instead since if I plan to buy it once again in the near future used, it most likely be much more expensive.

Also, I forgot to ask this: since I have the Signature for about a month now, I notice that if I leave the jack plugged in all the time, I get channel imbalance where the right channel (right can) has less power (less volume). If I replug it in, it gets fixed. Is this normal?

Interesting. Hold on, so there's an actual difference in sound when hardware gets broken in? I thought that only happens with headphones as the drivers are sensitive at first. Yeah please do, I am interested if there's an actual difference as I might acquire one in the future cause I think the...

last price drop

I am curious how much better does it sound compared to the Signature as I recently acquired one.

EDIT: No, it seems that the UAPP has NOTHING to do with this bug happening on my Android 11 device. I uninstalled the app, restarted many times and it is still the same. It seems that at most, the first song/video on yt plays fine (if you manage to have the low chance of even listening to one...

price drop

Alright so yeah, you (and the reddit user) were both right on this UAPP thing. If I restart my phone and press no on the UAPP to connect the micro iDSD to it, I can use Youtube well (I guess other apps or browsers will work as well). Nonetheless, once I connect it to the UAPP, its function...

Where do you find this "Exclusive USB Access" option on Android? I have looked for it in the dev options and there is no such thing.

They were about to fix my micro iDSD V1's dead battery. When they said "your device has its ieMatch problems due to the switch being tarnished" so you have channel unbalance and that will cost you about 60 bucks to fix (how are you gonna fix that if that is a problem that comes with all devices...

Lol. iFi for best customer support 2023 award.

Well, in that case there is only one person that has the answer to that and his name is @Thorsten Loesch From my experience using it now paired with a micro iDSD Signature and a LaCie Mobile Drive V2 connected to my Android 11 phone is that I think it does draw some power from the phone as my...

You connect it as any other dac with a usb b to usb a cable as all the power it needs is already provided by its external power supply you have to plug into the wall to make it work.

As I said, this app works flawlessly and I am loving it since I got it (it sounds cleaner than on pc for me). I am 99.9% sure it's an OS problem now. Btw, the problem you have with that Hidizs app, is it the same as mine? do you have this weird buzz sound? I tried turning on and off the dac...

in which app are you talking about? youtube app? does it even have that? It works perfectly on usb player pro app even connected through a iusb 3.0 paired with an HDD.

Thanks, I will check it out. I believe it's a software problem as you well said. Perhaps this Android 11 version I have paired with a Sony XZ Premium doesn't go well with the chipset of this device that controls the xbass and 3d effects so they get triggered in that weird way as I stated above...

Yes, I do. Doesn't have an effect, it's meaningless. I am not using this battery saving feature, I have it disabled. Most likely but I believe it's a software problem. Perhaps this Android 11 version I have doesn't go well with the chipset of this device that controls the xbass and 3d effects...

I sell my iGalvanic 3.0 due to not giving it any use. It is currently in perfect aesthetic and working condition. The price might seem expensive but this is an item out of stock and it recently got sold for a similar price here. I will upload pictures of the device and all the accessories it...

seriously nobody has experienced this issue? I didn't have it with the 2016 version of this micro idsd though

I recently got my hands on this dac and it plays flawlessly when paired with the USB Player Pro app but when I wanna listen to music on the Youtube app or on Spotify/YT inside the Chrome browser, 95% of the times I get this weird buzz that loops (at the rhythm of the song???) and it's hella...
