Just to clarify, do you mean attenuation in the digital domain?
I guess not. I mean something like this MUSES72320 in the diagram below. C9 is just an amplifier without a dac, so I don't think it has a "digital domain".

brand new ifi diablo, battery stopped working, flashing white led, flickering, when usb cable is in. only works when it's charging.

any clue? is my ifi dead after less than 2 weejs of usage?

As Diablo won't work without a battery attached, you either have a dead battery, empty battery, or bad charging circuit.

See if your charger functions right by charging another device from it, then charge the diablo for an hour, and see if it works on battery power.

the charger works fine, diablo was charged over night, as this issue came yesterday and i assumed it had no battery left

So sorry to hear this happened to your new unit! Please do open a support ticket, and we'll get a replacement underway if it doesn't get resolved!

Could I use xdsd with Bluetooth to feed Diablo? What connection would I need to use?
The Diablo can handle coax and usb input, the xDSD doesn't have either for output. You'd probably want one of those FiiO bluetooth receivers. I believe those support usb dacs.

Gotcha. I'd have to ask our engineers why they use what they use. If I'll get an answer, I'll make sure to post it here somewhere.

Hi, I have checked through search and I cannot find an answer to my question so posting it out. I am looking for a coaxial 3.5 cable to run from my CD player into the Diablo SPDIF, I have a cheap cable which works with my FiiO 5Qs, but does not work with the Diablo. Could anyone recommend a good SPDIF Digital Coaxial Audio Cable. Thanks

I, unfortunately, don't have any experience with CDs (shows my age!) but I'm sure someone around these parts will be able to you out!

If that SPDIF cable works with your FiiO, it should work with iDSD Diablo as well. Can you please check your Diablo's firmware version?
