I have just added an Auralic Aries Mini server to my Ifi set up. This consists of the original (silver) idsd micro dac/amp & micro iusb 3 connected by the original Gemini cable. I’m feeding the Aries Mini with a WD passport HDD. I am considering changing this to an internal ssd.I have a few questions concerning the cabling and options to upgrade.

1. The Gemini is terminated with a usb type B plug which requires an adapter in order to connect to the male A usb input socket of the idsd. I am using the supplied ifi adapter. Doesn’t this negate the benefits of the Gemini? Is there a reason that the Gemini isn’t the terminated with a female usb plug in order to be fully compliant with the idsd?

2. I am using the supplied blue usb cable to connect the usb output of the Aries Mini to the input of the iusb 3. Has anyone with this, or a similar set up upgraded this cable and experienced any improvement?

3. Power supply upgrade. I’m using the standard PSU with the Aries and the iusb 3 is supplied by the ipower. Since the iusb 3 is cleaning the output of the Aries/hdd would I benefit from upgrading the Aries’s PSU. Has anyone with this, or a similar set up upgraded to the ipower 15v, Auralic PSU or Sbooster in conjunction with the iusb 3?

Any comments/suggestions appreciated

I saw some people talking about the gto filter for the 5.3c update whats everyones thoughts on it? Does this filter replace bitperfect? do some people prefer the old filter? I also saw some people were having technical issues with the update, any updates on that. asking because I just bought a micro black label going to have it soon

Bitperfect is no longer possible on MQA firmware. So if you want NOS treble roll-off, listen to bitperfect first and see if you like it. Otherwise try the GTO.. I personally heard little difference between GTO and minimum phase.

If you upgrade you can always return to older firmware though. it's very easy just follow instructions.

Does this filter replace bitperfect?

Yes, our GTO replaces bitperfect.

See my briefed impression of GTO filter introduced by 5.30C firmware for xDSD. I also updated micro iDAC2 as well. No technical issue and I am happy with it.

I thought GTO replaces minimum phase?

It replaces both.

With 5.30C if I up-sample to max PCM in Roon Player or HQ Player does the Micro Black Label still use the Gibbs filter or is it essentially bypassed?

From 352/384Khz the DAC no longer oversamples at all (so no further manipulation).

Anyone knows if the Digital Filter (Bit Perfect, Min Phase, Standard) works with Line Out Direct mode?
