Thanks. I have another question: my pc interface is usb3.0 but my Dac is USB 2.0, if I am using both the iusb3.0 micro and igalvanic3.0, is it okay to use a usb2.0 cable for connecting between them?

Yes, absolutely fine. Using a USB2.0 cable upstream of iUSB3.0 or iGalvanic3.0 simply drops the system back to USB2.0 and causes the USB3.0 subsystem to sut down.

Great. I received my IUSB3.0 micro today, just wondering if it comes with rubber feet? I couldn't fine mine.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi @iFi audio
I really like iGalvanic3.0. I want to upgrade my set up again. Which is better to buy first iUSB3.0 or Gemini3.0 cable ? I can afford only one of those. Someday I'll get another. Gemini3.0 is new product. So I think Gemini is more effective, Its better to buy first.
My set up :
iMac > iDefender > "usb cable bandled to iGalvanic3.0" > iGalvanic3.0(with iPower) > "Zonotone usb cable(price 70USD)" > TEAC UD-503 > T12nd(Balanced) or HD800(Balanced)

Our micro iUSB3.0 paired with iGalvanic3.0 is our TOTL USB solution, there's nothing above in our portfolio as far as sound quality goes. Hence it's for the best to grab iUSB3.0 first and add Gemini3.0 along the road. That's what we suggest to our customers.

Thank you for your clean‐cut explanation. I'll get micro iUSB3.0 first. I can have a good night's sleep tonight.

Hello, I already have ipurifier2 and isilencer3.0, and I notice a huge improvement. My question is, would the iusb or iusb 3.0 improve my system? if yes which is it? the iusb or iusb 3.0? thanks

Our micro iUSB3.0 is the most potent USB cleaner in our offer. iPurifier2 does the same things, but to lesser degree, micro iUSB3.0 is its older and stronger brother.

I surprised I am not seeing more talk on this page! I am suspecting to see more action on here once people get settled from CanJam SoCal, and then start posting their ifi impressions. @iFi audio how did your trip there go? Wish I could have made it... Nice seeing you all in NY though.

I pulled the Ifi Micro3.0 demo back out and I am listening to different tracks with the Utopia and the Ether Flow C off the Questyle CMA600i.

Its funny how you don't know what your missing until you plug this thing in... I get better separation, and the sound is much more crisp. I'd like to hear the little brother to see what the difference is. We have to order it so I can find out lol

Yup, plugging something in at times might not give proper impression right away. But once it's pulled out after several days of accommodation phase, magic happens...

I received my Ifi micro Iusb 3.0. Its really very good. I have 64audio U8, dragonfly red and laptop Lenovo. The details are more vivid and soundstage more wide. The bass more defined but not deeper. Treble even better.My doubt is about the iground. My laptop doesnt have 3 pins in the power plug. If it has the sound quality can be improved?

Great! Glad you're enjoying it too. I am borrowing one my self and have been listening the last few days on my rig and agree with your opinion. For me I was surprised with what I was hearing. Its difficult to explain since at the time I didn't realize what I was hearing was less distortion and that the noise floor was lowering. Another way of describing it would be, being able to hear the instruments clearly separated without having to turn the volume up. Does that make sense?

If anyone on here has a high end headphone shop that would let them borrow the iusb3.0 for demo take them up on it! Its plug and play and the differences were noticeable immediately to me.

I am not familiar with the iground... Hmmm. Hopefully someone here or @iFi audio could help you with that question.

The best way to answer whether you need one is to know if you have any grounding related issues. Please feel free to take a look here:
