True. When we develop a 2nd version of a product, it has to come with substantial performance upgrade and thus end in a new product, i.e. micro iDSD BL as an upgrade over the standard micro iDSD.

I am very pleased with mine, it works exactly as advertised. Thanks!

Your website states:

"Back by popular demand
Most products have a finite shelf life but not the micro iUSB3.0.

We were going to withdraw it BUT you guys disagreed! And with comments like this, how could we not keep it around!"

So does this mean the item will CONTINUE to be made and not just one more batch made? I would like to buy another one but I would also like to know if I should jump on this NOW or if I can wait because it's actually not going to be discontinued for now, or after this last batch.

We did another batch of these and once it's sold, it might come back, or it might not. It depends on interest in the product.

I spoke with my local iFi dealer in an attempt to get a micro iUSB3.0 and am simply being told that it’s discontinued. Is there anywhere to secure one currently in the US?

The only one I can find is in the Netherlands. (over $500 with shipping) I asked iFi in a previous ticket in their system if they could see if one was available in the US and they didn't respond.

Please send us a request at info@ifi-audio.com alright?

SO, just to verify: ALL versions of the Micro iUSB3.0 had the REclock2, REgenerate2, REbalance2® technology, is that correct?

I think this is where the confusion over what "version" of the Micro iUSB3.0 everyone has is coming from.

Yup.

Finally got my iUSB3.0 and need some help hooking this thing up. I have a iGalvanic3.0, Gemini USB 3.0 USB cable, Mercury 3.0 USB cable and now the iUSB3.0 Micro. Trying to use with a Chord TT2 and M Scaler. The M Scaler is the 1st stop in the Chord chain and it only has a USB 2.0 plug which renders the Gemini USB 3.0 unusable. What is the correct sequence for hooking up the iGalvanic3.0 with the iUSB 3.0 Micro?

PC --> iGalvanic --> iUSB3.0 Micro --> M scaler? iGalvanic redundant when using the iUSB Micro?

I have a Gemini USB 2.0 cable coming so that solves the USB port incompatibility issue on the M Scaler but I tried the setup with a regular USB cable in the order listed above but the combo keeps dropping sound. Plays Tidal for 2-3 seconds and goes silent.

iGalvanic3.0 should be just after your PC (you want to provide galvanic isolation as early after your transport as possible) and iUSB3.0 the second in line, so that you have this part in check. Also iUSB3.0 doesn't do the same thing as iGalvanic3.0, both these products are complementary and in fact the best USB treatment we currently offer.

As for Chord M Scaler, most likely it should go after the iUSB3.0 just as you have it set up now, but we'd ask Chord directly.

I would suggest different approach than ifi suggest, Keep iGalvanic the last step before your DAC, as you chord dac does not need power from iUSB3.0.

Yes M Scaler goes before the TT2 because it upsamples to 768k and feeds that to the TT2. When I set it up like this I'm getting drops in playback. System will play for a couple seconds and go silent with Tidal. I have the ground switches set to off on the iGalvanic and the iUSB

May I ask why you suggest using the iGalvanic as the last step?
