checking on everyone's opinion.  I run tidal to imicro to lcd3f (upsample tidal to 786 via audio midi). 
 
which would you guys do next?

1. upgrade stock headphone cable
2. ican 
3. upgrade usb cable and add usb regen?
 
headphone cable was gonna be wireworld nano platinum
usb cable would be wireworld usb plat.
 
also, is it possible to run the itube back to the imicro amp or does adding the itube to a idsd require an ican for a headphone amp?

micro iCAN first, iPurifier2 second

I don't think it's possible. In any case I don't think it would be worthwhile.

Forget iTUBE until you have iCAN and iPurifier2.

Doesn't the iDSD have the iPurifier tech built-in, by the way?  or so I've heard. . .

Even if it can (which it can't), you really don't want to set it up like that. iTube is designed with loudspeaker in mind. Feeding it into a headphone amp really isn't ideal, since you can't use the Holographic 3D sound at all.

iPurifier 2 takes it to another level.

How-so?

And is that a yest to my question about the iDSD?


The micro iDSD has a version of the original passive iPurifier technology built in.

The iPurifier 2 adds active noise cancellation and signal regeneration.

Hi, would it make sense to use the new ipurifier2 with the micro iDSD? Furthermore from looking at the pictures on the ifi website there is a USB A version of the new ipurifer, would that fit straight into the USB port of the iDSD WITHOUT an adapter (aka is it a female USB A port)?
 
maybe ifi Audio could shed some light on that. Thanks!
