The red one looks far more convenient with USB-C charging port not on the side of the amp, it's necessary if we want to travel with such amp.
I am also wondering if there is an input 4.4mm as it looks like there are 2x4.4mm plugs ?

On the site linked to a couple of pages ago, it listed a 4.4mm to dual 3-pin XLR cable included for DAC output.

On the same site it mentions that the unit is MQA decoder. IE match, x-bass is missing, deal breaker for me.

I had a leftover pelican case with pick-and-pluck foam that I converted into a carrying case for the iDSD Signature. I did the cutout quick and dirty, as it was easy to do. I doubt I'll travel much with the Signature, but the case is a good way to store it when not in use.

That's excellent

micro iDSD Signature is a MQA renderer. Only our Pro iDSD and NEO iDSD can fully decode MQA.

I just got hip-dac last month along with sundaras... anyone has compared this with the hipdac?

 

[qsk78]

I did own a hip-dac in the past, really good value for the money. The Signature is just a different league.

 

[GiullianSN]

Sure looks cool.

Looks like a step down from the Signature?

thanks.... i guess its time to go back deeper in the rabbit hole again....

Nope. That's something entirely new

Well, hip-dac is way below micro iDSD Signature but also worth taking into account if you don't want to spend too much.

Guys, any examples of not very hard to drive planar-magnetic headphones (open and closed back) which perform good with the Signature? I had a combination of Aeon C Flow + micro idsd black label in the past, that was a really nice pair. Thanks.

I enjoyed my LCD-3 (Non-Fazor) with the Hip-Dac.

 

[Vitaly2017]

Hey folks how would you describe the signature tuning wise? is it a warm sound? or its more on the natural neutra side and more reference? I had back then the idsd black and had it paired with hd800s but that is very long time ago.... So wonder if the signature got a little warmer?

 

[qsk78]

If my memory serves me right it is even more neutral than the original black label. I like it even better.

I agree

@iFi audio - Is there a comprehensive comparison of iDSD BL and iDSD Signature - what has been changed / upgraded/ replaced in signature edition and how better it is?
Sorry if its already published elsewhere and if I have missed can you please provide the link?
