  He guys.  I just got the Micro DSD and some Genelec 8010A's for my work computer setup.  I can't get the Micro DSD to be recognized on my laptop.  I've tried the included blue USB cable in addition to 2 other monoprice USB cables.  I've restarted my laptop and even tried on another laptop.  Mine is a Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  The Micro DSD shows up in the Device Manager but with a Device status that says it 'cannot start (Code 10)'.
 
Any ideas what to try next?  I filed a ticket with iFi but thought maybe the forum might have some pointers.

You installed the drivers?

Yep, the driver. When I upgraded from ODAC and Modi2 to the iDAC2 I didn't know that iFi stuffs would require drivers. Nevertheless they're here.

I guess I expected the driver to automatically install when attaching the device.  I just found the website with the drivers.  Is there one that is recommended?  Most of the time I will be connected to a laptop and powered monitors.  I may connected my iDevices when travelling as well.

There you go, drivers and your golden. You will be in for a treat, the Micro is a solid piece of kit mate.

OK I just installed the 2.26.exe driver.  It's recognized now.  Thanks guys.

Did you download and install the drivers?

Sounding good so far.  Gonna let the new speakers and dac break-in for awhile.  Have this setup on a sit-stand desk.  I think this is exactly what I was looking for so the desk can easily be raised and lowered.

Nice, I use the Micro often with my Kanto YU3 active speakers and Kanto Sub6 for a solid desktop rig (or in my case, kitchen table rig). The Micro has a pretty nicely implemented DAC section I think.

Hi
 
On Windows, anything above 96kHz requires the requisite driver as Windows is only Audio Class 1.0 compliant.
 
Windows is not Audio Class 2.0 compliant. Hence every DAC out there that handles over 96khz requires a driver.
 
Nature of the beast!
 
(Bty, OS X does not)

Hi,
 
Nope. One must purchase the Apple Lightning cable as Apple has circuitry to extract the digital signal from the iPhone.
 
No way to avoid buying the Apple cable.

Gutted. It would be nice to browse on my phone at the same time as listening to music, but the cable seems to be too short for that

Hi,
 
We browse and listen to music like this:
 

 
If you are out and about, use the 2 x rubber bands to hold the two together.
 
We also use the iFi feet to separate the two units.
 
Cheers.

 You can buy a number of different cables including custom ones (above) or regular ones (below)
