It transmits a digital signal.

Do I hear stereo or mono audio analogue signal if I use this adapter with 3.5mm mono plug connecting to 3.5mm coaxial digital output of FiiO X5 DAP (serving as transport) and RCA coaxial end through coaxial cable connecting to RCA coaxial digital input of Micro iDSD BL (serving as DAC)?

You'll hear whatever it's recorded in.

The SP-DIF standard can encode any number of channels from mono to 5.1 surround. It only requires a single wire to transmit.

Hello Head-Fi! I'm about to ask a strange question about using the Ifi IDSD BL as a SPDIF converter for my Gungnir Multibit.

I know you can use it as a SPDIF converter to the Gungnir but can you do the following?

USB In -> SPDIF Out -> Gungnir COAX IN -> 3.5mm In Ifi -> 6.3mm out.

Basically, can I use the BL as a SPDIF converter and an amp at the same time?

EDIT: Hey Ifi! What on earth happened to your website?!

The site seems to be working fine from here

I can't test the SPIF on iDSD because I don't have anything with that connection, but if I am not mistaken, iFi creates other tools that can provide that service, iDSD BL is a DAC/AMP rather than a digital converter. I'd still recommend you to give iDSD a listen, who knows, you might find out that you like it even more than you like your Gungnir at the moment

Hi, any reason why the latest firmware listed on the ifi site is version 5.0 (august 2015) ? Is there a problem with the latest one previously released (I'm on 5.2) ? Thanks

 

[Suopermanni]

Ahh! Ifi is making up the new site! So that's why it's different than it was!

Hi guys
Does solution 2 really work?

thanks

I have not tried this solution, but I am curious to. It might consume a bit more battery, but I still want to try this since thius would probably solve things for some users

I know iOne can but not sure about BL.

I suspect it was hacked. Seems when u viewed the site, it was on an older version of the site.
Have you ever seem a website is taken down for over 1 week for update?
Sorry, not seem this before.

Just got the iFi micro iDSD BL. Still haven't had time to really play with it but I must say, accessory wise, this is probably the most well accompanied piece of audio equipment I have ever bought. It basically comes with every connector, adapter, or cable you could possibly need. I mean who else includes a USB 2.0 B female to USB A male adapter for instance?? And I actually needed one of those! Awesome.

This has been the case since the original iDSD. Also a great product indeed
