iFi micro iDSD Black-Label - In-Depth Review
Oct 24, 2022 at 5:19 AM Post #976 of 1,056
How long can one expect this device to last? Is buying a 5 year old used device a smart idea? Can it work even if the battery dies, powered by usb?

We're still getting OG silver micro iDSD units for a battery swap and once that's done they're good to go. micro iDSD BL is as resilient and most these units require either a new battery or fixing physically broken switches. Hope this helps, thanks!

I have the OG. The IEM sensitivity switch trends to cut in and out or favor the left or right channel as I moved it. Now even if I have it locked in to one of the setting, even "off", it starts to attenuate in one of the channel or the other. Is there a possible easy fix, or should I send in for repair.

BTW, I've enjoyed the OG BL for years. I'm a big fan.

Most likely tracks on the iEMatch switch are tarnished, so it's best to open up a ticket at our support site and send us the product. We'll most likely swap that switch. Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Im a newbie here.

Need some help, so I want to buy Klipsch Reference R-40M bookshelf speaker (passive), but how do I connect it to my Ifi ?
I want to use it for PC.

Thanks.

Just to clarify, do you have an amplifier for these speakers? micro iDSD BL features a headphone amp that won't work with speakers :)

ah unfortunately not, guess I can't use this then hahaha.
thanks sir

Sure, my pleasure!

Just a food for thought; once you have a stereo power amp for your speakers, then you could use micro iDSD BL as a DAC and preamp for it. That would work rather well :wink:

Thanks for having it in your system! Which power amp and speakers do you have if I many ask? Or are these active?
Of course. It's a Cambridge audio integrated power amp feeding into a pair of quadral floor standing speakers

Anyone tried the black label with edition XS wanted to know if they synergise well with each other before getting a BL

That should be a great pairing.
