The Pro iDSD is on my 2019 list... hoping iFi has a little deal at CanJam in a few weeks

We have no nfo on the subject yet, but who knows...

I just bought one and regret to say i am returning it.
I just love the design, and features on this beast.
I tried it with a set of beyers DT-1990's.
Please note that i am no expert what so ever and this is just my personal opinion.
please don't shoot me for it and make no mistake, i don't want to bash any product as they seem to be produced with the utmost love and care.
the audio is really clear and detailed, the low end is exceptional good, low noisefloor. but,, it lacks immersion?
especially vocals seemed to be pushed back and sounding somewhat closed.
my reference is goosebumps and always want to turn the volume up, but in this case unfortunately it wasn't happening.
tried aptx with Galaxy note 8 and iphone 6s in which iphone stood out, and wired to pc.(which was bad)
perhaps poor matching duo or personal taste.
I don't now if this can be changed with firmware (other filters) or just the nature of the dac.
DT-1990's aren't the easiest to drive as well because of tendency to be very bright.
I really wish i could hold on to it but i have to let go..

It's all good. You gave it a go, didn't like it and that's perfectly fine to us!

Only 6.5 Hour Battery Life!? That seems kinda awful.

Battery life depends on a connected load. Heavier load = more battery drained.

Hey there. Little question about the ifi xdsd. What is going on when the battery is dead (really dead like, end of life).

Is the unit still usable ? (By feeding it with the usb power ?) Or is it like the chord mojo : useless ?

Can we easily change the battery ?

I didnt come across this issue when testing. @iFi audio would you like to field this please?

Our products are like spartphones. Once a battery dies, i.e. xDSD goes to repair service and gains new life, simple as that. As for xDSD on without battery at all, this won't work.

@noobchu hopefully this answers your query

I love my xDSD except for one thing. Looks like it drain battery even when it's not in use. Can fully charged and it's "dead" after a couple of weeks by just laying around. Is this normal?

It's normal, every battery eventually dies. Several days would be suspicious, but several weeks are rather normal. If there's a bigger problem, you can always reach us here: https://support.ifi-audio.com/

I want another usb cable to keep at work to use with my nano. What type of connectors are on the blue cable it comes with? Is it a female to male usb A?

 

[iFi audio]

Is it a female to male usb A?

Yes.

I'm still deciding between a n8 or ifi black label for work. It will be sat on my desk a lot of the time and then bought home every evening for home use. Hmmm......

Why not just get 2 BLs and leave one at home and the other at work? Still way less expensive than an N8. Unless you want to listen during the commute....
