Agreed on that, my findings exactly with the iDSD and the Diablo. As it goes, I have ended up with the Hugo 2, which to my ears is a notable step up from the Diablo and not too distinguishable from the iDSD.

Gotta disagree here - I owned both at the same time for a while, and the ifi pro idsd is noticeably warmer and organic, with the price of a tad less resolution. Preferred the ifi in the end.

It should be considering their price and circuitry, but thanks for confirming!

Not a problem. I think the iFi Pro iDSD (4.4 upgrade) is the best piece of kit I've purchased for a very long time. I'm currently listening to Daft Punk's Random Access Memories from Apple Music with GTO filter + DSD 1024 Remaster + Tube mode and even with just the HD600 (balanced 4.4 Custom Cans lead) it is genuinely incredible. Every detail is there with a natural, authoritative sound that is both engaging and relaxing. A true studio master sound.

I'm already saving up for the iCan and Elite power supply.

I have another question.
Would it be a significant upgrade of my IFi Pro Idsd if I replace the original power supply with the new Ipower Elite?

Yes, at least in my experience.

Several our customers who tried it informed us that this PSU made a noticeable difference.

I just got the Pro iDSD and all outputs work except the 2.5mm balanced. The left channel is dead while the right channel works. This seems similar to the issue franz12 had when he got his unit. Has anyone else had this problem?

That leaked pretty early! The dealer rumors ended up being correct after all.

But at $4k for the DAC and $3k for the amp and still no news about a mid range "Neo iCan" well at least my Zen Can is still kicking.

Affirmative, but can't say much until the launch day

New question -
Has anyone compared the SQ of the internal phono stage of SN3 to other external phono stages such as Chord Huei or IFi Iphono 3 or Rega Aria?

@iFi audio if you say so... I'm in a quest for a new dac and headamp but if there is nothing see here I better move somewhere else
