I bought a ifi Pro iDSD and received today. While I appreciate variable output/filtering options, I am very disappointed.

The left channel out from the 2.5mm balanced output is dead on arrival. I hear no sound from the left channel of all of my headphones.

I can hear both channels from the 6.3mm se output, there is slight creaking noise at 0 volume whenever I move my head around.. I don't know whether this is a normal thing with this dac/amp..

It's not, we'd suggest to try different headphones/IEMs to single out iDSD as the faulty one and then to contact your seller or/and our support: http://support.ifi-audio.com/

I bought new one, and I will be returning this.

No sound on the left channel alone makes it defective.

We tried it with HE1000V2 and enjoyed the match a lot!

And the same goes for the HE1000se! With the single-ended connection the sound was quite a bit better than with Micro iDSD BL, but when using the balanced connection it's on a whole another level. Definitely a worthy upgrade and a great pairing with the HE1000se.

It seems that we good iFi people aren't deaf yet!

I am preferring this thing to the Schiit Yggdrasil A2
right now for sure. At least on a first listen. I am really enthused to keep going.

Hi grizzlybeast,
I bought this reading your review. I just wonder whether you think this pairs good with the Utopia. If so, I wonder what is your setting. Thanks!

What amp are you using? Just the amp it comes with?

I don't have a separate amp at this moment. I am just using the amp that comes with ifi Pro iDSD.

I didn't try the Utopia that way. Plus I do not have one anymore. I believe it will be a great pairing though. I would personally use bit perfect + with tube + and go from there and tweak to see what you like. I for one never have the unit on without using the tube stage.

Fantastic combo. I use it daily.

With cans like Utopias it seems reasonable. Or maybe you simply like to have one source of warm light extra in your room at night

I'm thinking of getting an LPSU for my Pro iDSD, any suggestions? I found this on ebay but I'm open to other options.
