iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.
Mar 11, 2018 at 9:42 PM Post #92 of 2,184
Folks, we have a major announcement.

iFi audio has recently returned from a couple of outstanding audio shows – CanJam in New York, USA and Bristol Sound and Vision, UK.

As promised, audiences had the chance to audition the pre-production model of the new Pro iDSD. This gave us the invaluable opportunity to gather feedback from the end user, directly.

We couldn’t miss out on the final chance to let our potential customers drive the Pro concept forward just one more time.

So, as is our want, we have taken the feedback on board and are tweaking the hardware and the software in response to these comments.

It seems that certain markets required the additional 2.5mm headphone socket and some the 4.4mm – so we’re doing both. Watch this space for more info on how and why!

Inevitably this will have an impact on the official launch date of both the Pro iDSD and the Pro iRack which we intend to launch together.

Skin says he needs more time (until the end of May) to implement these tweaks and will be able to give us a definite launch date nearer the time.


Hope you mean this year.

Will purchasers have the option to purchase either version, depending on their individual needs/preferences? Or, will you limit distribution to only one version per market?

Finally, speaking for the entire iFI enthusiast community, can you PLEASE release the version with the 2.5mm socket on 3/15/18 as most recently promised?!! You must have a supply of these units ready as their release was FINALLY supposed to take place this week.

It seems most unlikely that the main issue is with the headphone sockets. I can’t really imagine that a sane company would manufacture hundreds or thousands of these units and have them ready for distribution, then a week before the release date suddenly hold them back for ‘remanufacture’? simply because a few enthusiasts at a hifi show say they want another headphone socket size.

I’d say the units have not been made yet and there might be another undisclosed problem in their production.

" Bonjour,
Nous allons vous proposer un mois prochain une alimentation linéaire régulée 15 / 16V / 4A, compatible avec votre iFi Pro ICAN.
Elle sera similaire à celle-ci: https://www.audiophonics.fr/fr/alimentations-hi-fi/audiophonics-pshp-alimentation-lineaire-regulee-auralic-aries-le-mini-16v-25a-p- 11972.html
Mais avec les bonnes tensions et courants. "
