A good move by ifi. It’s bound to be of good quality especially at its price range.

Take any mention by ifi of a release date with a pinch of salt though. Ifi have great value for money audio products, but their record of broken promises regarding release dates has become something of a joke. Can take years....

Will it support aptX HD / LDAC / BT 5.0 ?
It would be a competitive advantage vs. the current Bluetooth capable portable DACs on the market.

The new xDSD next to the Nano BL, for scale. Better than a hand or banana... :wink:

I don't know whether we have a price estimate from iFi yet, but I think this has most of the tech found in the iDSD Micro BL, just a tad smaller, so I think it would still be a bit above Nano in quality, and maybe price (?)

On the iDSD thread, an iFi representative said of the xDSD "Broadly equivalent to the iDAC 2 micro in terms of sound quality. It is not a replacement for the iDSD micro Black Label which remains in production and which remains our best sounding (trans) portable Unit."
