Your Pro iDSD serial number should start with: 30020 or 30120. 2.5mm = 30020xxxxx, 4.4mm = 31200xxxxx. You can try a made up number - I just put in 3002000152 and that worked.

Genius! Thanks you very much :)

Anyone notice any SQ differences with the new iDSD Pro firmware v.5.120 compared to the previous one from 2019?

There is a new Firmware released? Which 2.xx is it now?

Edit: Ah, ok 2.15
Changelog Note: Bug Fixes

Would be nice to know which ones these are.

Thank you

Dunno, call it placebo but with the newer firmware, there seems to be slightly better separation or layering?

I don´t think that there is any change in sound quality, but i could be wrong. Filter adjustments where mentioned in the past, but yeah no guarantee.

I haven´t flashed it yet. Still waiting for some inputs here or a detailed changelog from ifi.
I think they´ve done only small adjustments cause of signature release. Why? Both got the same firmware version. Or there are even two versions of 2.15, but i don´t think so.

Where can we find what are the changes in this new firmware.
2 words - bug fixes - are not sufficient
Nowhere, when ifi doesn't release changelog notes. Or even someone find something new while using the device with 2.15.

Hi guys,

I’ve been contemplating going AIO for a while now since I’ve been getting tired dialing in synergy between cables, amps, tubes, etc. I have a HEKv1. Has anyone paired it with this and if so how did it sound? Currently I’m debating whether I should go with this, the Sennheiser HDV 820 or the Questyle CMA 12. Thanks!

Questyle CMA 12.

Questyle CMA 12.
Any particular reason? My HEKs need a lot of power to sound good and it looks like they only output about 1.2W balanced.

As a AIO as long as 4200mw from a 4.4 balanced @16 Ohm will be enough power for you, Imho you won’t find anything at this level that has this much versatility and adjustability especially if you add the pro iCAN.

What’s the general consensus on the tonality? I personally want good sub bass and a denser tonality as opposed to neutral/bright. Does the IDSD sound like that?
