So when will pro DAC get a date ?
Cheers to that! Thank you for understanding!
Damn! iFi schooled us. But hey, like I said, I still support iFi; it's just not my main DAC anymore, and that doesn't mean I won't buy the iDSD Pro.
By the way, the Chord stuff is very stackable, and to not buy the sound quality of the DAVE because of lights that you can't even see unless you hover right over it is kind of silly.
Dear Evolvist,
I eventually couldn't resit buying a Mojo 2 weeks ago...
Thank you for your reply re. Dave (I think we can speak of it here comparatively to the iDSD Pro as they will be competing products)
about stackability, but I don't understand,
could you please explain me more about what I see on the photographs :
- the round and inclined front display which protrudes above the top surface of the Dave
- the tube on on the right which protrudes also (and by quite some height) ?
Would it be possible to stack the iCan Pro, with its flat bottom surface, on top of the Dave?
That said, iFi makes a very attractive and inexpensive rack for staking the Pro series. I think the Chord Coral stack is attractive, too, but very expensive, which is why I don't own their cradles. Haha!
I know you didn't ask me, but between the Mojo and the iDSD Pro, I would have waited for the iDSD Pro. It's just that I don't think much of the mobile Chord DACs, while I can only imagine the huge step from the iDSD micro to the Pro.
But that's just me. I could be wrong.
I only see the iRack for the micro and nano series on the site. Did they release pricing info elsewhere?
Sure, I saw it too, and I want it! When you said it was inexpensive I thought you maybe knew something we didn't. I hope it'll be inexpensive, but since the iRack is $159, I'm guessing it'll be $250 or more, which I do not consider inexpensive, considering I got a full-size Pangea rack for under $100.
The Pro's series iRack will be available (I don't think the iFi folks will shoot my head off for stating that). I don't know when or how much. My *guess* is when the Pro iDSD comes out. Hopefully soon... PLEASE!

Not the biggest fan of negative just to be negative posts - or whining.... However after hours and hours of reading about iFi, I recently purchased both the Micro iDSD BL and the Pro iCan. Simplest feedback is that I really like them both. Quick mention that even after an email to iFi Support to confirm settings - my existing Audeze Deckard Amp/DAC passes a preferred sound to the Pro iCan - speaking purely subjective..
Burn-in takes a minimum of 200 hours and with this level of kit I would say 300 hours (after my experience of a brand new iCAN SE compared to a well-used iCAN.
It doesn't matter if you do or don't believe in burn-in. It happens anyway.
Soooooo - the Pro iCan is going back and even though I'm looking at spending more - I can retire the process of following links to posts and secret handshakes trying to get a adult-style update from iFi.
