You mean you can hear it in front of you but once the sound passes your slow ears then you can hear it ?

No. I want to know if the Saund travels all around your head and trugh it. Like Ibasso dx200 with Amp8.

What ever the dx200 did the ifi Bl does 10X more.

Hi guys. Is the sounds going behind your head? Or is it a proper 3D sound stage in the middle of your head?

Not sure how to answer, but the 3D effect typically seems to increase the perceived size of the soundstage. However, on my HD800, it will take sounds from the far left and put them much closer to the center. It does sort of fill up the bubble of sound more on the 800. On the Atticus, it seemed more like it had the desired effect of making the stage more holographic.

Please advise - using the iFi OTG cable out usb-c on my iBasso DX220 I get much static on DSD playback, do I need a better cable? Thanks.

Or its iBasso

...this is true and perhaps the case but I'm trying to avoid having to send it in.

SPDIF is fine, this is perplexing.

RL as in... a product of sorts ksc75smile, or a bottle ?

Anyone got any advice please?

Yup: http://support.ifi-audio.com/

does that mean I cannot install v 5.3 or 5.3c?

Yup. MQA needs CPU blocks available (which S/PDIF occupies to work) so if you'd like to have your S/PDIF available, those two FW are off the list.

this is perplexing.

Bummer, that is disappointing. I hope you are continuing to work on a solution to that. I more questions... the downloads page mentions that 5.1b is a special version that stops the iDSD trying to charge from a smart phone. I thought that this could be controlled by turning the iDSD on before connecting it to the phone? If I install 5.1b, does that mean the iDSD will no onger charge from a computer? Also, there's no longer a DL link for 5.1b and there is only a single link for 5.2a/b, what effect will that link have on USB/smart phone charging?

Nope. There's no solution. It's either MQA and S/PDIF switched off, or MQA and S/PDIF switched on.

We'd have to use a more powerful XMOS to have more computing power and accommodate both functionalities. That's a hardware change we won't do.

Yes. I'm looking under other iFi firmware. I want to keep the spdif out. I want the iDSD to charge when attached to the PC as USB/spdig converter BUT not use battery mode when connected to my phone.

I have another doubt, if I connect the IFI Micro BL to a smartphone, and I want to play DSD files, would it be playing natively?

OK, please use FW5.2 and have the product set in ECO mode. You should be good for S/PDIF work.
