Hi guys, I have a few questions...
1. Can I get this to work with Spotify? I'm using a Galaxy S8+ and UAPP works fine, but no sound coming out of Spotify even though file is playing.
2. What OTG do I get to stop the device from charging/drawing power from the phone? Battery going down fairly fast.
3. Any suggestions re settings in UAPP to maximize best sq and performance? (all Flac and dsd files stored on SD and used in that app.
Thanks in advance.

1. It worked fine on my Mi Max 2, but it overwrites the access for all Audio to iDSD Nano, I think it should be doable, but there should be a setting somewhere to enable this feature. In Xiaomi, you can give USB Soundcards absolutely control over sound, and this is why all apps work fine, I'd search for a similar option for Sammy.

2. There are a few that are known to do that, but I vaguely remember that you can also flash a certain firmware that would help with this, @iFi audio iFi might be able to point to the right direction, I don't have drain on Mi Max 2 or Sammy T580 as far as I can notice.

3. If the files are Flac and if the UAPP has correct access, you should have a great experience.

Has anyone had any luck with OTG USB C for the nano iDSD BL specifically with LG or the LG V30? I still bought the iFi despite reviews early on saying that there was trouble connecting to it to the V30 since I use it exclusively with my laptops for now. But now that I understand more about iEMatch, I'd kinda hate to spend $50 for the IEMatch adapter just to use with my V30. I've tried two different OTG USB C cables and no luck with the V30 detecting it. Just wondering if anyone has any leads on a compatible cable or a possible fix/solution.

I forgot that I had asked this question and figured out the solution. FWIW, both cables do work after all with the V30 but it's the order in how you connect it. First, connect the OTG USB C cable to the phone's usb connector. THEN connect the Nano. If you do it in any other order, UAPP or Neutron will not recognize the Nano as connected. I felt like kicking myself when I figured this out a month ago after having given up on it.

We're glad it works for you now, enjoy!

Hi,

I just found this with more info:

http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/show-report-canjam-at-rocky-mountain-audio-fest-2013-part-2/?page=2

I hope HiFi+ do not mind if I copy this:

"iFi Micro used CanJam to roll out its new nanoCan headphone amplifier (price TBA, but projected to fall under $200) and nanoDSD DAC (price TBA, but projected to fall under $200).

The nanoCAN essentially incorporates all of the control and sound shaping features of the iCAN, but in a smaller, battery-powered format that offers 150mW of output with a battery big enough to provide a whopping 60 hours of non-stop playback. Most importantly, the nanoCAN ostensibly preserves the iCAN’s terrific sound quality while offering a substantial drop in size and price.




The nanoDSD DAC, in turn, actually adds features vis-à-vis the iDAC, in that it provides what iFi terms “Advanced True Native DSD128/DXD/384 playback using (a) BurrBrown chipset.” What is more, the nanoDAC provides an 80mW headphone output along with conventional analogue outputs and it is said to be “iPhone/iPad/Smartphone” compatible."



Sounds nice enough. Normally "under 200" means 199, which sounds great for a portable iCAN, but I see power is WAY DOWN (almost cut to one third), so who knows what else is different?

I also send Vince at iFi an e-mail to see if he can give me more info.

Cheerio Rich

What is the range of impedance that it can drive.

I have read in many posts that headphone up to the range of 1000 omh.
But I'm really not clear on details.

Hi! I am concerned about connecting iFi iDSD Nano (Usb 2.0) to a smartphone through a USB Type-C 3.1 (with iFi OTG cable that is 3.0 version, for example). If I forget to turn on iFi iDSD DAC before attach to the Smartphone: 1) Will It try to use Smarphone's power (3.1) at higher amperage/voltage, damaging iFi iDSD (2.0)?

It will use your smqartphone's power, yes, but won't be damaged, no worries.

Hi All.

I have two DAP’s an Hidiz AP200 and HiBy R3, neither seem to be happy working with my iFi nano. The AP200 pops/clicks and the R3 isn’t sending out true bit perfect/ or giving the iFi exclusive access (the sounds is still flavoured by the R3) The iFi nano works perfectly with my Mac and PC as the source but not these DAPs.

Anyway over fighting with these two DAPs, so I’m looking for a hopefully affordable, even secondhand DAP that will fully support the iFi nano giving it full access to allow the iFi to do all the work and not the DAP for processing. It’s doesn’t have to sound that great independently as it’s only for transport. Needs USB C and preferably DSD.

Cheers.

Hi,

Is there any kind of split cable available so it can be charged while in use?
I use it as a desktop DAC so having to keep charging it is a pain.
