#1 - just look back a couple of pages or search the thread, it's literally JUST been discussed.
 
#2 - I don't know but, unless your Audeze are iems, why would you turn that on? I think turbo is just if your headphones aren't getting enough power on the other modes so if eco and normal aren't cutting it, move over to turbo.

IMO, yes the Minimum Phase is bit warm, others are not.

For Audeze LCD-2, Turbo is too much, Normal has too little volume range, Eco is just right, both subjectively and objectively. Eco is 2Vrms, which is more than enough even considering headroom for dynamic peaks like soundtracks or classical music.

P.S.: This shows how powerful the iFi micro iDSD is.

  Has anyone used the iDSD's with either or both of the following accessories? iPurifier and Gemini Cables?
Can we hear about the improvements they generate please?

IIRC, as discussed in this or the crowd-design thread, the iFi micro iDSD already has the iPurifier and reasons for the Gemini USB cable built-in (galvanic isolation).

Mmmmm...ok thanks mate, so much to learn about the iDSD. Can't wait for my next bonus pay!
 
Just found this review from ClieOS:
 
iPurifier
To explain it in a simple way, I guess you can say that iPurifier is a kind of EMI filter for USB transmission. I have tried it on my desktop setup, with both nano iDSD and micro iDAC, but doesn’t found it to make any noticeable difference. I do however find that it darken the background when pairing with my Xperia Z2 + nano iDSD a bit, though the effect is pretty subtle. Given it is meant to filter EMI, it makes sense as such since my desktop setup hasn’t really known to have suffer any EMI issue at all. I guess iPurifier is one of those devices that would really help if there is already a persistent case of EMI over the USB connection. Otherwise, you might be able to get away without one. It is more of a fine tuning tool rather than an instant improvement.
