Early Xmas Present to everyone from David Elias and iFi

 

Great musician, great recording quality and music all the way from Hawaii at Xmas. What more do one need?

Family and friends to enjoy music together with.

 

Yes we like to audio equipment but we also listen to a lotta music and David Elias is one of the nicest artists out there.

I am a firm supporter and advicate of DSD and record most of my recordings in it.

Are your DSD recordings available for download ?

  Are your DSD recordings available for download ?

Regrettably, not yet. The problem is that whatever is available commercially, has been mastered in PCM (192/32 float ) and finally issued as CD. This is due to the fact that only from fairly recently ( less than a year ) only two privately owned Merging DAWs are in my country - and my producer and mastering engineer can not allow himself to take extra time to travel to these two locations in order to master in DSD ( only at very near before and after the cut DSD is converted to PCM to allow mastering, otherwise > 99% of the recording remains intact in native DSD ) - even if and when these facilities were available for free.

Yes, late March 2016 is the date for the iDSD Pro.

I've had this money burning a hole in my pocket since at least May of 2015.

This should be worth it in so many ways, though.

Say, @iFi Audio, will the iCAN Pro use your Tubestate design on the solid state side, or do you forego the Tubestate because you use actual tubes with the flip of a switch?

Hi,
 
The Pro iCAN has 2xGE5670s.
 
The rest of the circuitry within the Pro line is an extension of the Tubestate design, with further advancements in terms of performance.
 
So in the Pro-Line when you select 'Solid-State' the operation parallels the TubeState design, in terms of underlying principles, however the sound has been somewhat de-tuned from emulating tubes, as we have real ones that can be engaged on demand instead and a little more.
 
Cheers.

@iFi audio Cheers! I take it that when you say Pro-Line, we're talking the iDSD Pro, as well, which will have the "de-tuned" TubeState in solid state mode? It reads like that's from what you're saying, but I'm merely seeking a little clarity, if at all possible.
