Sure is
finally... a balanced out, and a 4.4 at that

I can't get above 12:00 with any of my headphones, even in Eco (all full size over ear). So is it better, in theory, to dwell below 12:00 or to switch on IEMatch in order to get up into the 12:00-3:00 range?

As long as you have enough headroom to comfortably operate volume knob and both channels are balanced, you're fine
Great, thanks.

I do prefer a warmer sound, but have an interest in trying something very analytical as well. Specifically wondering if the iDSD is more capable or as capable as the Chord Mojo, O2 Amp, or Liquid Carbon, for the headphones I have?

I have my iDSD connected to my Galaxy Note via USB, and am playing from Spotify with highest quality set, and I am getting a yellow light on the unit. How do I get to Magenta ?

Ha, I just noticed at an audio event Ifi has the nano iOne splitting the signal to a couple of units. Nice!
I'm curious, has anyone compared the USB vs COAX input on the micro BL? Is one better than the other? I've heard they both have their issues but wonder if one input was more efficient in processing a cleaner signal than the other.

Good to know. I figured there would be more to it. I'm just curious whether using the nano iOne to switch over to SPDIF if the quality changes at all.Yup, it can do that
It's a bit more complex. You'd have to take into account digital outputs of a device that sends data to the micro iDSD BL and interaction of all transmitters and receivers involved. But assuming that a product sends out equally good data via coax and USB, micro iDSD BL's digital inputs would sound the same.
I've been using a USB cable from Pangea which I'm happy with and have seen a bump in performance. I know Amazon sells them but I'm not sure if they're available in the EU.Hi, nice to read about your comments on this black magic box
I got mine just recently and I'm very impressed about the pretty dark and precise sound signature even with HD660S with whom I was expecting to lose some clarity on top end.
The only concern for me is the short USB stock cable.
Can anybody recommend an aftermarket one with ~1.5m? Ideally available in the EU. Could not find anything e.g. at Audioquest which I like in terms of build quality.
THX and Cheers
Curious USB
