Interview with iFi - history, background, future plans....
thanks Dharma...cool! always fun to think of new toys we can buy.
also and i know this isn't related (
so don't flame me please) but
Audioquest
also coming out with 3 new dacs in early 2nd quarter:
blue tooth dac (beetle)
and
2 new dragonflys (a black and a more robust red 'turbo model)
all will have firmware upgradeable software, too, which is a first for this series.
just more portable and lightweight than alot of dacs out there: would be ideal for a smartphone etc
different dac chips and amps for each.
first link (vimeo) is insightful: by the always interesting John Darko at the official release at CES 2016

(interesting interview with the president on more specific diffs between the products and aims)
interviews also talk of their future plans e.g., on how the jitterbug's popularity has opened them up to possibly developing more products
related to line conditioning and signal integrity, etc.
my point is: more fun stuff in the works for us in portable audio to support those companies we trust and like.
Ifi, Chord, Audioquest: all on my radar (have the 1.2 dragonfly currently)
