I can verify that the firmware update worked on my MacBook Pro 2013. I updated using Parallels and I'm good to go!

Thanks for the confirmation. Order placed.

This table highlights the MACs that work and the MACs that dont work. Please appreciate this is a summary.

As you can see, they dont all use the same USB3.0 port chipset.

Wow that interesting. I would think that using Parallels is using Win drivers on the new chipset that Mac was using did not cause a problem. Just curious what was the underlining issue was.
The point that I was making the issue was not with the hardware chipset itself but the new Mac driver for the new chipset that broke the backward compatibility for the USB3 port for many third party vendors. A different Mac driver update could maybe fix the issue but in this case it was the third party vendors like IFI to fix. Glad it is working for you.
Hi
The majority of iDSD customers have USB 2.0 ports and/or have another version of USB 3.0 of course have not enquired about this update.
Of course you may. You only have to ask to test the beta and we shall email it to you. We have to track and do this on a case-by-case basis.
So if you email tech@ifi-audio.com one of our guys would be more than glad to send you the beta.
At the moment, it is passing all the tests with PCs and Macs out there with this particular port.
It does require Win PC and USB 2.0 port (of course). So Mac users do need access to a Win PC for this firmware update. Or BootCamp or Parallel.
Also, dont worry about being past the 30-day period. All iFi retailers have and will support 100% their customers on this.
After reading some impressions of the iDSD, I think I have to buy the thing. Paired with my XPA-1 driven Spires I cannot wait to crank up some good DSD tracks
But the question, the nano or wait for the micro, hmmmm
Herus, this equipment is class itself, putting the smoothness of media saturation and wider than the resolution musicality and dynamics. Playing wide and deep, nicely glued space in front of the listener into a whole, is in this respect multidimensional . Sound of Herus is slightly dimmed, though adequately clear. It is fact that there is some other more detail-oriented equipment out there, but the school to which this midget from Resonessence Labs attended, is pretty darn consistent. Someone constructing this thing knew exactly to which subscribe it. Just listening to it draws you in so much like a swamp if you tried to walk through it, and it's surprising that such a little thing can play so astonishing.
And what is the story with iDSD? Maybe I'll start by saying that it is another very positive surprise, this product certainly stands out beyond mediocrity and the flatness of media and exaggerated detail that is so common these days. So, therefore, it should be understood that iDSD is musical equipment, giving you just the fun of listening, regardless of how vague that statement sounds. But compared to Herus it has more of detail in the transmission and is a bit more dynamic, I can also hear that the sound is more resolved, selective.
Placed the order the nano yesterday. After reading all the reviews this thing should pair perfectly with my XPA-1's and Spires. The extra detail and quick response from the electrostats should shine
- not that it's difficult to set up, I'd just like more information on what the colors mean on the LED.
