Very eager to know more about the adaptive/intelligent gain feature.

I managed to put together (almost) all info on iDSD micro provided by iFi
I might have missed a couple of things
This is the index (with reference page in this huge thread!)
Super Duper feature 1.9
Signal Polarity +/- (Digital input only)
Background
Sometimes referred to as "inverting phase," different people have different opinions on this subject, for example:

Explanation
Some people hear an improvement with the polarity adjusted, some people don’t. There is no right or wrong. It is your subjective preference.
From AMR's experience, this feature is enjoyed more in the North American market compared to Europe or the rest of the world.
How this benefits the listener
From recording to recording, try the polarity switch.
If you hear a difference, wonderful. The polarity switch means greater enjoyment to you.
If you cannot hear a difference, don’t worry, you are not in the minority, leave the polarity switch to its default “+”, non-inventing position.
At iFi, we let the listener dial-in the last few percent. So go ahead, flick that button and see if it is your cup of tea. We hope you like it.
whoa, stellar information consolidation!
If you couple please make this a share-able Google Doc it would make for a very important summary of the product.
Thanks if so.
1. No room.
2. It would run down the battery very quickly.
3. USB power would not be enough to run it.
4. The iTUBE gets hot - almost too hot to touch in summer. The battery would not like it and nor would any attached player or phone.
All in good time. All in good time!

Come on peeps'! Maybe if more folks say 'yes' to OTW #2 the new would come out
i tried to preorder from Sonic Culture in San Diego and was told they aren't taking any preorders just making a list of interested customers.
