Simple, search your retailer of choice for a USB OTG cable.

Hi,


...snip...

iCLUB members wanted to test drive the latest iFi driver

...snip...

 


I understand that the iClub is for 1st 512 purchasers and /or invitation only, but it's starting to feel a little shoddy that those of us who spent $500 + don't have access to improved drivers in a timely manner. It's one thing for "perks" like DSD downloads or dinners, but this seems like a basic functionality improvement that any purchaser should be entitled to.

Is the driver still beta? Are you planning to make it available to all owners soon?

Please understand, I love my iDSD and can put up with being a second class owner / citizen "not in the club" despite my purchase. The company has every right to run promotions. That said, a driver seems like something that should be available to all.

Just my 2 cents. Thanks for listening.

Seems like an odd response to a request for members to TEST DRIVE a new driver.

Perhaps you were asleep in the lesson where the words "TEST DRIVE" were explained.

:rolleyes:

At least it's not a must by rule or anything. I seem to have trouble installing it thought. Will maybe try tomorrow again before disturbing the iFi team again for possibly a small matter.

Talked to Todd at TTVJ, I don't think that they have one unless I find a usb a female to micro female adapter. Anyway I found this one

I'm not trying to be grumpy about it but to those of us who are on the outside looking in "iClub" it's a bit like buying the same car at the same price as your next store neighbor, only the dealer sends a "driver" (pun intended) to pick up his car when service is needed while you have to drive it in and arrange your own transportation home.

That said, I was just blowing of a little steam and perhaps I will get a good night's sleep and re-learn what test drive means. Then I will ask myself why I am not permitted to test drive when I am in fact an excellent driver, to quote Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.

Before we stray to far off topic, I'll acknoledge that it's really not a big deal and I need to get over it. The iDSD is obviously a great product and iFi an innovative company. I am enjoying it immensely even without iClub perks and it is an excellent value for the price paid.

How are you guys enjoying the new USB driver with the free David Elias DSD album?  I'm loving it.  Thanks iFi.  I'm glad I was an early adopter and in doing so was rewarded with club perks.  I could have waited to purchase the iDSD with the rest of the world but I would not forgive myself if I couldn't get to beta test that USB driver.  Thanks for the Corvette too.  It's fine to be grumpy but double grumpy posts is a no-no, esp. over as you say "not a big deal".  You may eventually get into the club and have your opportunity to haze the pledges as well.  Cheers.

Ooh! Do we get to haze pledges too? I can't wait to haze LoryWiv. Are we allowed to use custard?

Seriously though, it's very sensible of iFi Audio to limit the number of people trying out a new driver in case there are any unforeseen issues. Everyone else will get it once it is ready for prime time.

I love custard! Egg on my face too!

So... playing DSD files.

I downloaded the David Elias tracks today and played them on my iDSD using foobar2000. My LED did not turn cyan. Oh dear!

After much digging, I have solved the puzzle and my LED does now turn cyan. In case any of you folks are struggling with this, I have taken some hopefully useful screenshots.

First the components:



Make sure you have the latest foo_out_asio and foo_input_sacd installed.

Next, the SACD input configuration:



Make sure to select DSD as the output format.

Then the ASIO configuration:



Double-click foo_dsd_asio and then select the iFi driver and DSD Native.

Finally the output configuration:



Select foo_dsd_asio as the output driver.

Good luck!

I was struggling with that last time as well! Thanks for putting it up, hopefully it will help solve most new comers

Hi iFi/Vincent,

Finally got my micro iDSD after a loooong wait.

Just want your assistance because as I started to do the initial 24-hour charging, the blue light does not lit up. I used the 10watt power adapter of the iPhone iPad with 5v, 2.1amp. Is the unit factory pre-charged? Please advise.

Thanks and regards,
JoeyGS (Joseph Severino)

Does it switch on? If it does you may have answered your own question. Use it for a bit then try charging.
