Do you mean for the tour? Not at this time, I believe but thanks for your interest!

1. NEO is not suitable for sensitive IEMs.

Last time I checked it worked very well with IEMs

Not with this one (Earsonics S-EM6 V2, 30 ohms, 112 dB/mW ) - background noise on 4.4 (same was with Zen DAC). Signature is the only choice for them

No, nothing is wrong with NEO).
I just want to echo to the post above that NEO is not for all IEM.
Some are too sensitive for it.

As a standalone DAC, how would the NEO compare to the Zen DAC Signature? I'm coming from an iDAC2 (again, used only as a DAC).

Thx...

I had the ZenDac combined with an iFI Purifier3. MQA files could not be played because of the stuttering. Without the Purifier3 no stuttering. Tried everything to solve the problem but I didn't succeed . In the end I changed the Zen Dac for the Neo and I'm very happy I did. No stuttering anymore with the MQA files and far better sound...

I'm using the PowerX to power my Raspberry Pi4 which in turn powers the NEO

Have the same but powered the Neo with the iFI iPower elite with is a great improvement in sound....

I’m wondering why the Neo 1.35 firmware update was removed from the iFi website?

I'm wondering why there still is no Mac version of the firmware update

Thank you for your feedback on all of the above! How would you describe the improvement the iPower Elite made?

We're aware and working on this!

I few things I discovered about the NEO iDSD:

• it can be USB powered (I forgot about the power adapter and it still worked)
• it is a damn good balanced DAC (you are practically getting the amp for free)
• native DSD works fine with RoPieee (if you use Roon and Raspberry Pi)
