I guess you will have to use 1/4 to 1/8 adapters to use IEM's.

I'm just glad it's not broke.

What a panicky Pete I am.

I'm not gonna edit my first comment so the thread can identify the village idiot.

I have a few questions, I appreciate any advice.

I own a mojo and use it to drive he500 headphones, it sounds great with them but there's a slight dip in sub bass frequencies, would the ifi micro be more suitable and provide the same level of detail? has anybody tried both with he500s?

Also I have a titanium hd sound card in my pc, how can I route the titanium hd to the ifi for cmss3d effects, is this possible?

Would I be able to connect my active speakers to the ifi and bypass the in built amp?

Thanks

 
Hi,
 
1) For the HE-500 you have to try yourself and see if the micro DSD has enough bass slam for your liking. If you like a lot of bass (and we are no exception) then the iCAN SE with XBAss set to *** is the way to go.
 
Alternatively, this weekend, you can pop down to the Bristol Show - we are in the Main Hall by the front door. Just bring your headphones and try the whole range out.
 

 
2) Titanium HD sound card - best you open am STS ticket and give the tech guys an outline of your system. They will try their best to assist - no promises.
 
3) Yes - run the micro iDSD as pre-amp. You can download the User Manual from here:

Cheers.

To the folks that own both the mojo and the idsd. Would you say that the bass from the mojo is equal to the bass of the micro idsd with bass switch on ? Or is it less or more? Any input will be appreciated. I already have the idsd so I know how it sounds like.

Hi guys, 
I got my new micro iDSD, there seems to be a notchy feeling around the 9 o'clock volume knob when I turn it, do you guys have this?

This might be a silly question but you do know it's an on/off switch?

Is there some reason that you need to use the output from the sound card?

The iDSD is best driven via USB. This bypasses the sound card entirely.

If you do need to get the output from the sound card, I believe the Titanium HD does have an optical S/P-DIF output. It's hidden inside one of the RCA's so you just need an RCA/Toslink adaptor like the one that ships with the iDSD. The latter also has an optical S/P-DIF input hidden inside the co-axial RCA.

I know what the on off switch feels like. 
its getting RMA'ed.

Yeah, just found out the Ifi has optical input before reading your reply, good to know, thanks!

The instruction card should be in the box. refer to that as the vol is also the on and off switch.

or the on/off knb could have been pushed in and it makes contact with the inner part of the faceplate. just gently pull it out slightly and it wont scrape

I found that the "bop" sound is 99% gone after setting the "hardware buffer" in maximum in JRiver21 settings already having all the other buffers to max. in order to upsample to 2xDSD! 
Bitstreaming:None
4XDSD was/is not possible. Actually it is possible with cuts!
 
I haven't tried yet with my Win10 laptop to see what happens...
