I placed my order today on art excellence and I've confirmed it is a "Octa Odopter" unit
. Let's see how it compares with hifi M8 and Alo RXMKIII B
There is one item I wish the folks at ifi would include with all of their products...
and that would be a demo disc that has all of the different formats that their products support....
that way we could show the products off to others and it would be a way for us all to be able to
hear the difference between all of the various formats...
just a wish...
There is tons of Free Hi-Rez Samples on the Internet... Just a thought...

additional 1 week wait? geez, you started this thread on 21 March...and you'll have it in retailers' hands in just FOUR months time. that's pretty awesome. i don't think anyone here will quibble about an extra week...i'm just surprised it's production ready so quickly. well done.
iFi,
a couple questions regarding "Power Matters" mW bumps-
1. are the 10V, 5.5V, 2V numbers actually "Vrms" ? I'm always confused by what vendors spec/report/how.
2. I'm assuming the mW numbers are cumulative values (total output) for: Left channel + Right channel?
(ie. in your Normal mode 1900 mW , 16Ohm, would deliver 950 mW to Left channel + 950mW for Right. = 1900)
Lastly:
the Ohm's law math numbers "added up" in your earlier specs for the various Volts at 16ohm, 32, 64ohm, etc.
today at the new 5.5V (16 and 32 Ohms) and 2V values (8 and 16 Ohms), plugging into Ohm's law for values given the mW numbers do compute with what you reported above.
but for the 10V value:
at 64 Ohms, does compute (=1562 mW)
but at 16 Ohms, math says = 6250mW. not the 4000 mW reported.
Can you explain my bad math or the specific power adjustments?
thank you.
Okay, so Avatar has charged my card, so that must mean I really am one of those lucky few (100 or so in the US?) who will have an iDSD micro before the month is out!!!!!!
Thinking it will look very nice sitting above the iUSB Power on my iRack! Of course, connected via a Gemini cable. There is the issue of the iPurifier. I already have one, yet, the iDSD will have one built in. Think I will leave the external in the chain, as long as it doesn't cause any issue. Will certainly soothe over my Audiophilia Nervosa, lol.
The question is what to do with the iDSD nano? Not a chance I am getting rid of it. It is too exceptional a product. Will have to re-purpose it for mobile use, I think!!!
