Ifi Audio is an innovative and avant-garde brand, but I do not understand why I named TA filters, and copied the initials of a famous brand mark T + A, ....... or they have forgotten the symbol + between T and A, ........ may be a coincidence, .......

TA is transient aligned and obviously not referencing a famous brand...

@Em2016 GTO is obviously the Great Teacher Onizuka filter :p

Anyone here with iDSD and iCAN and paired them with RCA in Hifi variable mode?

Couple questions:

Can I stream hires to the iDSD Pro using the ethernet jack?

Any thought on Ps audio direct stream junior vs iDSD Pro?


Thanks

Thanks again

One more question:
Does the iDSD Pro screen display the volume level in anyway? This is mainly a user friendliness feature for using with my speaker setup, I can't hardly see my iCan Pro volume moving when I was using it as a preamp at my listening position.

In short: no. Pro iDSD's volume is regulated in analogue domain only.

iFi audio - The GTO filter
Part 1/4 - The TL;DR

What iFi GTOTM is?

Based on AMR’s ‘Organic’ mode, the further refined iFi GTOTM Digital Filter resolves a number of audible problems associated with both classic digital filters AND non-oversampling systems, sounds on par (or better in optimal systems) to the latter and its transient optimised performance is similar.

How iFi GTOTM does it?

Our GTOTM filter tuned to fit inside the ‘ringing envelope’ of our own hearing makes ultrasonic ringing objectively measurable yet not perceived. It essentially ‘masks’ this time-domain distortion to make it inaudible.

Why do I want iFi GTOTM?

Because it provides natural sound free from audible time domain distortion!

Stay tuned folks! We have a lot of filter related goodies to come!

It works but it's very finicky. I set up DLNA server on Jriver and was only able to get iDSD to show up as network player a few times.

I’ve been trying all the desktop UPnP players and all are finicky at some point. UPnP can be such a pain.

@iFi audio please send a Pro iDSD over to Roon and make this Roon Ready. They will help you through the process and won’t charge you $1 and you’ll sell a boatload more Pro iDSD’s :wink:

For the ultimate wide range compatibility, if this supported Chromecast, it would cover everything, including Roon (Apple Music covered with Airplay).

Got it. Thank you.

Can I make a feature request to have the screen indicate if it received the remote control signal, at least this way I know the remote control volume is working.

Amen. It's the best way to get MQA and TIDAL and streaming.
