My bad, your post was about the LED on the iPower Elite. As for its color, dark orange is the one, thanks!

Thanks IFI for confirming. Dark orange is what I have.

Cheers

greetings

would like to ask which is the preferred input on the ifi idsd pro to connect a streamer like eversolo dmp-a6

would it be usb, optical or coaxial

 

[BlueSkyHi]

I always liked coaxial over optical. Give each interface a try and see which one you prefer.

That's what we suggest too, thanks!

Roger that and, by the way, it looks as though I may "have" to replace my PRO iCAN Signature! That Phantom looks "splendifirous" and I've always wanted to get back into electrostatics ever since I owned some self-powered early era Koss ESP-6A phones back in the early 1970s..

In that case iCAN Phantom is something worth considering and possibly auditioning

Thanks!

*iFi Audio, I am really tempted to try this new amp out. Question? Does you company have a satisfaction guarantee on the sale of their products?

Am I correct to assume the +9db, +18db are exactly just that, a bump up by +9db, +18db, no extra bass boost or anything so it’s the same as using the 0db gain but crank up the volume by 9db = 9db toggled on?

Thanks

You are correct.

 

[TooFrank]

You are correct.

Thx - was having the same "general" question. So I as I don't listen at high volume, I har also used this "trick" with other amps - that is using Roon to scale volume by (for example) -12 dB

 

[TooFrank]

Have any you changed tubes in both iCAN and Pro iDSD. I did some time ago, swap tubes on the pro iDSD. It works really great - I get the tube effect also when playing on other the amps (e.g V222). Now I am considering also to buy new tubes for the iCAN. Just wondering how much that would add to the overall SQ and possibilities?
Any experiences?

 

[BlueSkyHi]

I’ve never used the tubes much at all. Did you replace the tubes with a different type or manufacturer or because they “got old”? If because they got old what change in the sound quality did you notice?

 

[domiji]

I replaced the stock tubes with some Bendix 6385 with stunning results. Inside the Pro iCAN I changed the tubes to a pair of Sylvania Gold Brand 5670 (Gold Pin).

Both are hard to find and pretty expensive
