“The only acceptable replacement for the most discerning audiophile’s desktop stereo setups.” A review by vapman on Head Fi.

“The new iDSD Micro Black Label is iFi’s first major upgrade to the iDSD Micro…ecstatic to find that I have been one of the chosen reviewers for it…the Black Label uses a Burr Brown DAC…it was on a whole different level than any of my gear…the Black Label was all business. Custom-designed op-amps, a stunning capacitor selection…with the Black Edition, I like what I am hearing an awful lot…the Black Edition has me enjoying the device as an amp thoroughly…I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the bass boost was certainly more present on this unit…it added a great amount of weight to the bass with any headphones used. The background is silent and the detailing and clarity is top notch…the difference was huge with the switch flipped…the Black Label goes so much farther past the all-in-one replacement for your listening setup…this is the all-in-one unit for you…offers such a fast and detailed yet slightly warm sound…The improvements iFi brought to the table with the Black Label really shows. No longer do you have to pick between two desktop stack replacements which approached the problem in completely different ways for great all-in-one portable device…iFi did an excellent job…Listening to the Black Label has made me so uninterested in all the other DACs and amps I have lying around. They all are so inferior to the Black Label in my mind now. Every headphone I have tried it with, it’s a gorgeous, lively pairing….Everything works so amazingly with it and the Black Label is able to make anything I throw at it -source material or headphones- sound the best I’ve heard most of it ever be….recommend any lovers of that lively, energetic sound prioritise investing in this unit.”
