Thanks.

Yes, I have tried both switching on first and switching on after connection.

I'm just getting back to trying this again as I have been enjoying using it through my computer for a while. I'll post back with progress.

Thanks again.

Paul

Alright, feel free to let us know later on how was the ride!

Hi
I just bought a second-hand ifi nano idsd(silver) and the problem is whatever I play with it the LED is GREEN, unless I change the DEFAULT FORMAT(16bit 44.1 khz by default) manually in PLAYBACK DEVICE setting to 96khz and 192khz then it change color to yellow and cyan and it stays on that color even when I play mp3s. what am I doing wrong?
using Foobar2000 and Windows 7.

The device seems to be fine as it changes colours. It's your software settings you need to dig into.

Google for 'Bit-perfect playback foobar'. There are many tutorials. Basically, you have to stop Windows doing its own thing with the playback.

Thanks. the headphone input is loose though and it affects the sound when I play with it. it's too soon to open it now but I think I have to eventually.

I fixed it with Kernel Streaming. should I install ASIO too? is it better?
thanks for your reply.

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.

@iFi audio please tell me if there is a “no question asked” return policy for the Nano (and other iFi products) from Amazon? I’m looking into something transportable to use with my laptop. Really liked the Micro but my budget doesn’t allow for much right now

Hi all.

I'm returning to this thread to report that after a long break, using my iDSD from my computer, I returned to connecting it to my SB Touch and it just worked! The only difference is that i used a different and high-quality USB cable. So it might just have been a cable issue.

Cheers.

It's good that it works for you again!

I got the Nano iDSD BL to replace my FiiO Q1 which didn't pair well at all with AFO. Though I mainly use it with my portable cans.
The bass boost was useful at times though.

Have been testing the Nano for a few days and my desktop amp hasn't seen any use. I really like this thing.
I read that keeping it plugged in to computer shouldn't overcharge the battery? (leading to faster battery degradation)

It won't, the circuitry inside prevents that.
