Looking forward Great review !

 

[kindonanjaya]

why I have always been interested in comparing ifi with hugo, is it fair enough to compare ??

 

[h1f1add1cted]

Why not? In some terms the Hugo wins, in some terms the iDSD wins. Like the raw output power - easy win for the iDSD. But for best price/perfomance ratio the iDSD will always win in this case imho.

  putting subjective numbers on the audible differences, would give regular SMPS power Regen a 94.
Regen with iPower a 97.
 

 
Did you also compare the REGEN with the stock iFi power adapter? Where would that fit in the comparaison, below the regular REGEN SMPS or between it and the iPower?

Alas Nope, didn't do that comparison.
If time allows before my demo period is over I will try this.... no promises however.

Did someone tested the idsd with optical fiber toslink cable? Suposly it has lower data loss then other cables(usb, rca etc.) I wonder how it performs. Anyway i m interested in the regen too.

 

[iancraig10]

I use it direct from the tv via toslink and it's really very good. One advantage is that in the UK, digital radio can be picked up via tv and our classical station, Radio 3 sounds excellent for some reason via the Ifi. Better than my radio. Better definition and just sounds less grainy.

Can somebody explain me for what are the other usb streaming options are for? relaxed has more quality then save or extra safe. But browser gets a bit slower indeed. I mean if not used, they seem redundant. 

 

[jxhyde]

is it possible to charge it and use it with an ordinary AC/DC wall power ?

Yes if they a 5V 2.1A usb plug integrated.

Thanks for this answer

Doesn't need to be 2.1A, just 5V (I'd say with a min of 500mA, which is pretty much every USB charger) through a USB A cable. Any old (or new) mobile phone USB wall wart will work.
You can charge it this way, but can't use it at the same time unless you use a split cable/adapter.

Double Post!

Correct, but he refered AC adapter, they have more power output. Thech suport informed me to not use more then
2.4 A, because it would be to much.
But in reality, blue cable is enough, when always conected, it barely discherges. Eco, normal mode. Turbo not much too. So usb port 3.0, is very good already.
