@mblain THX, I could find the SUPRA in a German shop with good availability. Will probably place PO and try it out!
I had my headphone setup connected via a mishmash of cables, and after being impressed by Supra's HDMI/I2S cable, decided to rewire the rest of my system with Supra cables [USB/Ethernet/power]. I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Supra makes affordable quality stuff. Some of their dealers have storefronts on eBay.

I don't expect better sound quality but, same like you, better for my eye to have consistent setup with cables. I prefer Sommercable in general but think that there is no option for higher quality USB cable.

As in, USB cables can't get any better :) ?

(a friendly question :wink:)

Not sure if I got it correct.
I did never prove it 🙂 that they get better sound wise, just built quality should match with their main cable portfolio and so far there was not a big choice unless you configure and build it by yourself. I prefer already finished solution 😎

OK, that's fair enough :)

Hello to everyone,

I would like to ask a question about my idsd micro (silver)...I have been using it since I baught it at 2016 and as it is expected it's battery has lost its durability and it empties much quicker now. Is it possible to change the battery if I send the unit to my countries Ifi distributor?

Are there better batteries to consider in terms of sound quality and durability? Or micro only accepts this one?

Thanks in advance and I wish a happy new year to everyone.

How would a battery increase the sound quality?

Batteries are considered as less noisy versus regular power feed, but as per usual in audio it all comes down to the implementation.

I plan to by the new ifi idsd signature even though I have some more expensive gear, it is compact and easy to move around.

Thanks! Once you do, please feel free to drop us a line how it works for you :)

Ok, probably not very soon but I'm pretty sure it works great, i had ifi ican amp and micro idsd dac and amp and was very pleased with them. I remember that ican was very close if not equal to a burson v1 amplifier which was also very well regarded but about 3-4 times bigger and I think 2-3 times more expensive. I guess burson was better with more power hungry headphones but with lcd2f they were very close.
About the signature, I've seen one post on Fiio m15 thread saying it is better in sound quality then m15. I would expect that as amplifier, ifi would be better anyway.

Hi everyone!
My Micro IDSD Black Label is causing me some troble because of the IEMatch switch. It's causing distortion to the music and channel imbalance, because it's not a good switch and maybe there's something loosen inside it. I'll try to change it, but I can't find any replacement switch like those to change.
Does anyone knows how can I get a new switch over the internet?
Thanks!!!

Overall this switch seems to lack quality, like all other BL switches, They don't change positions firmly, and everytime I have to adjust them to the righ position.
