The difference is noticeable and it mainly narrows down to juicier tone, darker background and also punchier bass. This is in large part due to iPower Elite PSU, but several tweaks inside Pro iCAN Signature also factored in.

What about Pro iDSD Studio verson !!? It is cheaper than Signature verson but the same specs.

Good morning everyone,

I am interested in purchasing the iFi audio Pro iDSD Signature, while reading the discussion I would need your help to clarify a few things.

Are there any apps for PC and iPhone to manage all the functions of the product, including the various filters and whether or not to activate the valves?
Can any of you tell me if it can somehow be made to work with Alexa?

Also, I'd like to know if anyone has been able to compare it with the Dangerous convert 2. I understand that you are satisfied with it, right?

I hope you can help me, thank you. Have a great day!

You can and must use an app for the streamer in the Pro IDSD Signature. It´s the Wiim Home. The rest can´t be accessed by an app. Just the faceplate and the remote control for some of the functions.

I'm fairly sure that the iDSD does all of it's changes via analog switches. I think the app is just for switching streaming sources. If Amazon Music is your source, you are probably better off getting something like the NAIM Uniti Atom Headphone edition.

Using it as a streamer is a mess, honestly pretty much useless. It's frustrating to get it to work, and when you finally get it working you have to use that crappy software from Wiim. The amp/dac part is great though thankfully.

Streamer works seamlessly with Airplay and Tidal.

Always, get a DAC that natively supports your streaming service.

But yes, Wiim Home app for DLNA is a turd.

The Signature version has the upgraded SMPS which does make a noticeable difference in the sound.

I use mine with a clean LPS and upgraded power cord and it sounds even smoother and more dynamic, so there's more performance to be squeezed from this iDSD pro signature.

Hey guys I need help with my idsd pro signature. So i got custom balanced cables for my diana v2 going to the 4.4mm out of the idsd pro signature, once I plugged it. Red light flashes. What does that mean? When I use the stock cables (6.3mm to xlr adapter) they work. Is there an issue with the 4.4mm output since I tested the cables with a multimeter it works fine. So i dont get why it flashes red.

Please help

I'm intrested in the IFI Pro iCAN Signature. Question for those of you who have it, does it need to be hooked up to an external DAC? I can't find any information on what DAC if any is included in the unit? Are you guys just plugging your headphones straight into it and listening straight?

Pro iCAN signature doesn't have a DAC. If you want a DAC/Amp combo unit, the iDSD is the one to buy. However, the Pro iCAN is a much more fleshed out amplifier than the one included with the iDSD, more power etc...

Does it need a Dac though to sound good or is it fine just to listen through the amp. I would get the idsd but it doesn't have the Xbass and 3D settings which I really like on my micro.

Well you will need a DAC of some sort to use it. If you have a Micro iDSD, you could use that as your DAC into the Pro iCAN with no issues.

Guess I didn't think about hooking the micro idsd up. Wonder how it holds up, was also thinking Bitfrost down the line

Does anybody of you use the iFi audio Pro iDSD Signature as an all in one DAC / Amp with a Hifiman HE1000 Stealth ?
Could this be a good pairing (more musical, on the warmer side of neutral sounding) ?

I have to ask, how the heck do you get Airplay to work? I can't even figure out how to get it on the wifi, every instruction and note just glances over it like it's super obvious. I mean, an ethernet cable to the router would probably work, but a cable through the entire living room kinda defeats the purpose.
