Yup, and shortly there should be a thread about these two!

Will the the new guy be Roon ready and support Tidal Connect ?

Pro iDSD Signature features the same network component, so nothing changes on this front and WiiM (previously Muzo) still is the one. Our iFi Bridge software for PCs turns the product into a Roon endpoint, though

Looks like a minor upgrade to the device itself and a big "upgrade" at the price tag if the prices from the japansese website are reliable

I hear you, but improvements done to Pro iDSD's power supply weren't small, and that's what makes all the difference. This change might look as tiny, but in reality finding a way how to improve that critical aspect took a while

Power is essential for sound quality, and making it even cleaner past a certain point is very difficult.

Is the iPower Elite a key element for this improvement?

Internal changes are the key element, but iPower Elite also audibly contributes. There's some feedback about this PSU with our Pro range on Head-fi.org, and listeners consider it as an upgrade over stock charger.

The specs for the ican and ican signature look identical on the website. Curious to know what’s changed internally.

Please see post #3019 a bit above, thanks

To be clear, I am an ifi fan, and the ican pro is an integral part of my system. I’m just not understanding how the internal changes made to the power supply affect the performance of the amp if all the specs (including THD) are the same.

Before i sell my IFI stack i plug them in to my LPS and it was noticable upgrade vs IFI black bricks.

So it’s a Roon Ready product?

No it is not!
It does not appear in the roon ready devices list of Roon
The IFi bridge is just a work around using the option of squeezebox support in Roon.
the capabilities of this WA are limited - no DSD support. No full MqA support

Affirmative!

Just curious more than anything since Muzo has been brought up again.
Has anyone been able to network stream DSD files from a NAS to the Pro iDSD via Muzo/WiiM or other software?

Can do Flac (I think up to 192/24).
cannot do DSD
