Introducing NEO iDSD2! The world's first lossless Bluetooth DAC/Amp...

[talan7]

So, any news on the actual RMS power output?

Per ifi website

Output Power:
Balanced	>19.5V/650 mW (@ 600Ω); >13.3V/5,551 mW (@ 32Ω)
UnBAL	>10.5V/184 mW (@ 600Ω); >9.5V/2,832 mW (@ 32Ω)

I think you misunderstand. I am asking about the actual power output, not these, basically fake numbers. The Diablo was stated as having almost 5W of power (impossible for a battery powered unit, even ignoring heat dissipation) yet in two independent measurements, it was shown to be under 1W. When queried in the past, someone was told that it was a peak, instantaneous measurement.

I've been PMed a number closer to 1500mW, which is still good.

Interesting, my new Topping amp supposedly makes 17000 mw of power, and it’s smaller than the Neo. I wonder if it’s making that much power

@iFi audio just a heads up, the iOS app is bricked. Can’t use it at all on several iOS devices. I hope it gets fixed soon, I don’t want to go through the hassle of returning the unit!

Yes, I’ve submitted a ticket.


10/24/23 App issues have been fixed.

I'm not suggesting the "answer" is Android (I'm firmly entrenched in iOS myself with iPad and iPhone), but I'm curious if you have an Android device to test to see if that app is also dead in the water presently?

All users: we are waiting for your impressions, especially with closed backs and IEMs.

No Android here. The password reset feature doesn’t work, and new accounts can’t be created.

10/24/23 password reset feature works.

This always shows wrong DSD512 - 12mhz, but DSD512×48 always shows right, i.e. 24mhz. And why show DXD? In addition, an annoying bug is that you cannot connect to the same wireless network yourself unless you remove the device and add it again.

DXD usually refers to high sample rate PCM.
I know little about HQ-PLAYER (just tried it a few times), but are you sure it sends the native DSD stream and doesn't convert it to PCM?

Yes Im totally sure. As you can see Roon signal path.

I have been testing the Ifi iDSD Neo 2 for a while on both headphones like the Diana MR, and speakers. I compared it to other dac/amp in the price point and even connected the ifi Pro iCAN signature as external amp to test its prowess and its quite impressive! Dac/Amp has many features and is easy to use

Burning....

 

[Lu Mazzmarill]

Balanced Cable - Medium Gain - 61/100 volume.
What headphone is that?

 

[Lu Mazzmarill]

I've been reading the e-manual downloaded from their site, and i don't understand if the unit can work also as a Pre-Amp for active speakers, and how i can select different outputs (headphone or speakers).
Does anybody know?

I was wondering if the rca and xlr outputs are fixed or variable line outs.
