Is!
See the difference(?):

Smaller Housing, lesser structured in the letter ring.
SR325is has the 8-conductor cable, but still the 6.3mm TRS plug.
Have seen the non-lettered (1. generation) and i-series (named on the (colored) box as ‘is‘) in black (anodized) but only the is in chrome.
Anybody can correct me?

A gaggle of Grados. I was moving things around a bit in my music room and unintentionally ended up with this temporary configuration. As it was not done for the photo there are a few more that did not make it into this pic. There is a Maple Tree Audio tube amp under this stack (all tubes protected). Fun to share.

Yes!
Another one with a GH3.
Dear ESL-1, what is your impression of this pre-series SR325x on the left?
Does it sound like the regular SR325xes?
And more interesting, which one of the G-family handed it to you?
Also interesting, that the GS3ke (right upper) has a light brown headband. But it seems original.
I am always fascinated about the color difference of the cocobolo ones. The GH2 and GS3ke differ… slightly.

@Mightygrey: Which cartridge do you use in the RP2? And which phono-pre?

Hi mate, I use a Shure M91ED cartridge, and use either the phono stage in my NAD 3020e or Jotunheim 2.

If you need a purist DAC with a wireless input, that's the one

I'd go for our balanced ZEN DAC then

Thats a dac/amp. Only need a DAC

I hear you, iONE is no longer manufactured so you'd have to hunt for a second-hand unit. At the moment our lineup features only one purist DAC - ZEN DAC Signature V2

Think I gonna sell my xCAN, and buy a all in one instead.

Well, xCAN is more an amp than DAC, while xDSD is the opposite. But if it's a pure budget DAC you're after, getting iONE gets two thumbs up from me

Can i use iONE with a phone?

 

[iFi audio]

Can i use iONE with a phone?

iONE is a desktop product (without batteries) that needs 5V to work, so stacking it with your phone like say xCAN doesn't make much sense

Unless you thought about some other usage?

 

[Stevko]

Ione is the smallest dac from ifi. For my use a smaller DAC is better
