iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.

[Giraku]

In my unit, BP+ is available for both DSD512 and DSD1024.

I should have said that BP+ is not available for DSD oversampling on the DSD sources. Many of my favorite tracks are in DSD.

Can anyone tell me what type of micro sd card will work i tried a Evo 64 SDXC and it's a no go is not recognized does it have to be a special card

[avischiller]

Ok thank you I will try it appreciate your help let's hope it works.

Are the drivers stable on the current macOS (via USB)? Also, has this been tested in a professional audio situation with DAWs? I am wondering if it would be a stable option as a mixing/mastering DAC in conjunction with other interfaces. I see it can receive clock etc. Thanks!

Folks, a word about network, JRiver and Pro iDSD. To make this happen, please enable the whole Network Audio section as seen on the screen below. Of course, a network router and a PC firewall/antivirus need to be set suitably. These settings are outside the scope of our support.



Add a local PC as a server:




Enable DLNA server and controller:



If the Network itself is set up correctly (it needs to allow UPNP/DLNA for example and allow routing for the iDSD Pro's IP address) the device previously configured via Muzo App will just show up.

If not, the network setup must be investigated and corrected.

Realistically, we shouldn't be expected to support customers' network setups as that's the job of the hardware and/or service provider or third party software, such as JRiver.

We can confirm that iDSD Pro does work in a network function but customers need to make themselves knowledgeable about network audio and potential troubleshooting problems associated with it.

In any case, a short setup described above nets this outcome in JRiver:

Folks, we also have something to share:



One of our products - iFi audio xDSD - was nominated in 'The Best Hi-Fi Product' in the annual T3 awards, which are tech related Oscars if someone asks us.

Our latest portable device will compete against seven other products and to have it shortlisted in this group is something we're very proud of.

Late September is the date when all awards are given so please keep your fingers crossed for our xDSD!

Also how do you connect to your home WiFi? It's not in the manual.

1. I finally got it to work with Jriver serving as DNLA. Follow the above instructions. However when you are setting up media server in Jriver choose Audiophile DAC option.

2. Go to Muzo app and select iDSD.

2. Click anywhere on the iDSD, and go to the menu tab where you can select source. Choose My Music. Jriver should show up as a source.

You got every file up to 24/192 to play at native resolution. DSD files weren't able to play. Sound quality was pretty good close to USB quality. However, I connected iDSD via ethernet through a powerline passthrough. I'm sure the signal is pretty dirty. If I can clean up my network signal, it should sound better. The interface in Muzo is simple but works. Good job iFi. If the network server function can be further improved, then you get a stellar DAC and a network streamer out of one box.

The iFi USB technology is included in iDSD Pro. Galvanic isolation, usb filtering. It's all included. No need to buy iUSB
