  1. Wow! Bravo iFi! Says Mike Mercer about the iDSD micro!

     

    To quote Mike:

     

    “WOW! I’ve been a fan of iFi products goin’ back to my iCAN, iPhono, and my trusted iUSB PowerPlant – but when I got to hear the Micro iDSD at Canjam w/ my buddy Alex (Rosson – from Audeze) w/ my LCD-XCs I was simply blown-away!! So, because its become so popular, it took a bit to get a unit for review (which I’m definitely keeping) – but, the wait was WORTH IT!! This was the PERFECT couch system for drowning out all the political arguing goin’ on during our Thanksgiving w/ my in-laws!!

     

    AND – since I was initially blown-away using my LCD-XCs w/ the Micro – I HAD TO DO IT:

    This was really somethin’ special!!

    Especially w/ my new Double Helix Cables Comp4 SE for my Audezes

    and also using the DHC USB cable..

    This system led me into an all-night listening sesh!!!!

     

    BRAVO iFi!!

    BRAVO!!!!”

     

    Wow – Thanks Mike!

  5. Another “Greatest Bits” for iFi with the micro iDSD!

     

    With thanks to Audiostream’s Michael Lavorgna, the micro iDSD was put through its paces – albeit mainly via speakers as headphones is not the arena of AS.

     

    Nevertheless, Michael remarked, “I’m happy to report that the Micro iDSD DAC retains the iFi house sound which is overtly musical to my ears. Compared to the recently reviewed and more expensive Pathos Converto (see review), the iFi is more incisive and more concerned with micro detail and edge. That said, there’s nothing abrasive or unnaturally bright about its presentation.

     

    Something like the recent download of the week Our Love from Caribou was very nicely laid out with a sure grip on the beat and bottom end. Acoustic music including Giacinto Scelsi’s Suono Rotondo showed off the Micro’s way with tone and complex harmonics…..The Micro delivers a lot of timbral bang for the buck. I did not feel as if I was missing out on anything while listening in enjoyment mode as compared to comparison mode.”

  6. Sound&Vision rates nano iDSD very, very highly!

     

    With thanks to Pixel (iFi Hungary) and Sound & Vision, the following are some of the key points of their review.

     

    “A variety of different quality, especially Mp3 signals tested nano. Startling differences were experienced. Playing audio files from your computer’s USB port the nano’s resolving ability shows how much it can improve the music signal. Even with Mp3 it cut the jitter error down drastically. Well the nano’s simply named ZeroJitter Lite technology is apt.

     

    I just congratulate this little unit. There is a built-in 1400 mAh battery hidden under the casing, which is intended to be provided with the mobile tasks. The battery lasts some 10 hours which is plenty.

     

    Overall, the Nano really knows what it is doing and delivers on its promise and is the perfect musical experience.”

  9. Headphone Guru finds iFi Audio iUSB/iPurifier makes digital more analogue and are a keeper!

     

    Lee Scoggins of Headphone Guru penned the following very nice review of the iUSB Power and the iPurifier. Lee wrote, “It makes sense if you think about it. Cleaning up USB level power has the same effect as a dedicated power line and a good line conditioner. All three provide the best possible foundation. As you lower the background noise, you hear more across the board – bass, midrange, and high frequency. The iFi “iUSB” Power Conditioner is well built, has a beautiful sparkly finish, and comes packaged like a well-designed Apple product. Pretty amazing for the under $300 price point. I’m impressed and will be keeping these in the system for better digital.”

     

    Thank you Lee and we hope you enjoy the pair for many years to come!

  10. Known for their good entry level and budget friendly desktop and portable amplifiers, FiiO had their first higher end portable amp with E12 Mont Blanc. With a power that can drive up to 300ohms that can lasts for up to 12 hours and other significant features, it is a showcase that they can go beyond entry level products but still at a lower price. FiiO E12 might just be the answered prayer for Audiophiles’ demands who are wanting for “more”.

  11. Effusion of Head-Fi highlights from Day 1: iFi Retro!

     

    “A multi-purpose, multi-function tube headphone/speaker amplifier that sounded very sweet, but at the same time detailed and full. Very nice sound coming from my portable DAP, connected by bluetooth and through my HD650s, DAP/Cable shown in the first picture above, which it drove better than 90% of what I’ve heard the HD650s through; very impressive….All in all, great sound coming out of this amp and in what some would argue as a more fashionable and timeless way with its old-school design/looks.

    In addition their component stack, which is a plug-n-play component type design/model, that is very cool and sounds very good.

     

    Thanks Effusion!

  12. Prestigious ACA says micro iDSD is a legend in Greece!

     

    The Audiophile Club of Athens (ACA) is one of the oldest and most famous audiophile clubs in the world. There are plenty of youtube videos of their amazing turntables which leave one aghast.

     

    Well, they held a listening session with the nano iDSD, the micro iDSD and wait for it, the Viva Egosita, a Euro10k headphone amplifier. Esteemed company indeed. Listening was done mainly with the full Audeze range of headphones and the Sennheiser Momentums.

     

    “Kudo’s to the micro and God bless the micro for those who are not as crazy as I am and want the ultimate in their everyday life and sound, but I am saving up for the micro.

    We only live once, I won’t need to go through another lifetime searching for the absolute in the headphone usb dac territory.”

     

    Thank you Dr Tony Pothitos we are very honoured that the ACA raved about the nano and the micro in the company of the Viva Egoista! Yes Amadeo does built some amazing tube amplifiers.
