When I say wired together, I mean wired together.

They are the same input. There is only one input. How else can I put it?

It is exactly the same as using an RCA splitter cable, only neater.

Wow thanks technobear! It works, am so silly to have not tried this before. ifi should consider putting a note somewhere on their website that the 3.5mm can double up as a "pre-out" or "line-out", am not sure what the technical phrase should be.

I even considered purchasing a separate iDAC just for my speakers, but my problem is now solved. Thanks so much!

Has anyone paired their Micro iDSD with either Chord's Qutest or 2Qute? If you have, how were the results compared to just using Micro iDSD? My current chain goes like this: iDefender 3.0 > Mercury 3.0 cable > iPurifier2 > Micro iDSD BL > HE1000 with iSilencer 3.0 and ISO Regen added soon. I was wondering if adding a separate DAC would improve the sound even further.

We're happy if you're happy!

Isn’t a single micro iUSB3 better than all those accessories combined?

Hi guys, ive always used my micro BL with my iphone using apple cck and it doesnt cause phone battery drain. Buy when i connect to my android via usb C it drains my phone battery.

Just adking if anyone had found a way to work around this.

Many Thanks

Nope, all these items address different USB related issues. Only iPurifier2 woks very much alike iUSB3.0, both do similar things, but the latter is more effective.

You probably tried this already but here goes: have you tried turning it on before making a connection with your smartphone?

What is the best buffer setting? This or "Auto"?

I'm getting stuttering issues using Musicbee and now trying to find a way to fix it..

I set mine to auto, it should choose the best buffer setting for you that way.

That's what I thought, since iFi said in a blog post that it's the best setting, but it actually causes stuttering when the highest buffer size does not? Maybe I gotta test more, the stuttering happens occasionally.

Question on improving iFi Micro iDSD BL sound - how else could use the iSilencer3.0

Pardon if my question may have already been covered in the hundreds of comments and posts in the current thread.

I found that there was a noticeable improvement in the iDSD Micro BL sound details, separation and noise floor when I simultaneously put an iSilencer3.0 in the USB port on the micro BL and also in the two USB ports on the iFi USB 3.0. Has anyone else tried other tweaks that you have found made a difference? Thanks!

My system is Computer > Anticable USB > iFi Micro USB 3.0 > Pangea Split USB cable > iFi Micro BL > Anticable 6.2 RCA > Schiit Magni 3 > Cardas Clear Lite Headphone cable > Hifiman Edition X V2
Have a number of iFi 3.0 USB noise suppression on computer, vibrapod vibration dampening and other tweaks to enhance audio quality and noise floor. No snake oil stuff though!

What would be the best setting for USB Streaming Mode?

 

[kingk6673]

I have found with my setup, Bit Perfect with MQA (Masters on Tidal) sounds the best.

Indeed, we're as far away from it as possible!
