Thanks for reply.
Perhaps I will loose autonomy and kill the battery quickly. So maybe I am loosing the battery advantage here...

The Signature battery is big (4800 mAh).
I think you should have some hours of playing.

Hello,

I ordered a ifi signature due to the good reviews including on demanding headphones...
I think the portable thing will be a good feature!

Good.
It's portable enough to be so powerful.

Hello,

Juste trying ifi idsd signature on heddphone, windows, turbo mode, qobuz wasapi.
Sounds great. Enough power, way enough for those who wondered including me.

But, there is no software or way to know battery level and settings?

Regards Greg

Why on earth the Signature does not offer the line direct option (differently from the first micro idsd and black label) ?

Hi.
There is a colored LED next to USBC connector for charging.
The led shows 3 color based on the battery status.
Unfortunately I have never hear about other way
to know the battery status.

Ok thanks, it is so mall I had not noticed...

Now blinking green

 

[Satriany]

LED for Battery Status
LED Status
White* > 75%
Green* > 25%
Red* > 10%
Red (flashing) ≤ 10%
*Battery LED will flash when it is charging.

Any opinions on the DAC line out vs other standalone DACs?

I'm considering upgrading this for my tube amp input and looking at Denafrips Ares, D70, or SMSL D1SE.

Would you guys say I *need* a USB isolator when connecting to a gaming PC ?
If so, which one do you recommend ? I took a look at the iPurifier, would that be a good choice?

And just to clarify it: I just need to connect this to my PC to receive the full 4.1W of Power/32 Ohm ? No need for any external power supply? It won't discharge when plugged to my PC right, I can use it as a full Desktop AMP/DAC combo without worrying about the battery ?

If I remember correctly, the micro iDSD Signature has the iPurifier tech built into it. So it's not necessary to add any USB purifiers.

No need for external power supply to get full power like it's needed for the Fiio Q7 or M17.

You cannot switch between battery and external power so the device is always powered from the internal battery. Connecting it to a Desktop will still use it's internal battery so having it connected to a PC 24/7 will effect battery life.

Ok, it will affect battery life, but the device will discharge when using from a PC ? Like, it will stop playing after (don't know, 10 hours) ? If that's the case how do you guys use this as a main desktop dac/amp? Do I need to also connect the USB-C charging cable to the PC so I don't run off battery on day-to-day use?

 

[luishi5000]

Yes also connect the charger, and turn if off when you're not using it, though I would recommend using a nice separate wall charger for it as computers are super noisy and the noise leaks through on mine. I believe if it's always plugged in the battery only charges to 80% to preserve it longer.
