"the flagship line of the Stax module and the Pro iDSD are pretty much going to be at RMAF."
 
That will buy another 2 & 1/2 months..............we've been down this "road" a few times already...........pretty much.

  Can we buy the iDSD Pro this year?

 
We do expect this to be the case - as the alpha Pro iDSDs are up and running and making the rounds.

I hope we'll have an "early adopter pack"

Hi
 
We do not see why not!
 
As other headphone manufacturers like working with us, we shall try our utmost.
 
Cheers.

Looking forward to the day when the electrostatic module is out. Can't wait to try a Stax L700 with the iCan Pro.

Is the iDSD Pro going to need drivers for Windows?

Yes of course it will. We are not expecting Microsoft to bring Windows Audio into the 21st Century any time soon.

Correct.

USB Audio Class 1.0 and USB Audio Class 2.0.

I've been looking at the Pro iCan for a while now as I slowly save up enough to get an amp to live with for a long time, but I am uneasy about its tendency to slide around on a desktop.
I'm wondering if iFi might make changes to the unit to ameliorate this? I work at a very large desk and I specifically want to use my HD800s with its balanced cable, which is long and quite heavy. Sat here with the cable draped off the side of the desk worries me if it's going to be attached to a small unit that moves.
I wouldn't know for certain as things stand now, but possibly buying one to find out would be a concern unless I managed to find a place that would permit a refund if it was a problem. 
It has been mentioned a few times in my reading about the Pro, so I wonder, do any of you think iFi might move to address it somehow?

Seriously?

Problem solved.

 

[MaceHane2]

Is it really that simple? Have you tried it with the amp?
Strange how the three reviewers that I've read saw this as sufficient a concern that they all mentioned it as a viable 'issue' to be considered.
Also that this was obviously already recognised by iFi themselves as a problem because the amp itself comes with its own substantial-by-far version of what you've both posted, being its own anti-skid complete rubber base to the unit, and yet still moves around? How many amps have as their base a complete rubber bottom? And yet it still moves around freely when the heavy sennheiser balanced cable is moved.
So, yes - seriously thank you, it is a concern on a £1500 amp.

Good fix! But indeed it is a valid concern for such an expensive piece of equipment.

A £1500 amp should not slide around like a toy. Shot themselves in the foot.

It doesn't slide like a toy. I'm fact, it's rather stable. You have to really push or pull it to get it to slide. Yes, it's a little light on its feet compared to most, but I really don't have any problem with it on a wooden desk.
