There is no fixed “single” XBass, it is dependent on the model. It is not “Basshead” type bass boost that boosts bass in an unnatural way, instead, it is meant…
It uses DC. Also, filament current is designed for 5670 Standard, which is 0.35A @ 6.3V+/-10%. Do not use tubes of other ratings. Also 5670 has a very unique pinout…
Short explanation: An analogue volume control delivers better sound quality than digital volume controls. In case of a small channel imbalance at very low volume settings, please adjust the iDSD…
A customer reported using this cable, and after testing we can confirm that it works: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HKKP2ZM/A/belkin-lightning-audio-charge-rockstar
The xDSD will draw the maximum safe current from any power supply unit (PSU), using the standard ID methods (Apple, Samsung, USB standard). Any standard-compliant PSU should signal it’s current…
When playing music through the device’s USB input, the laptop freezes up after 1/2 hour or so of play and requires a hard boot to restart. By process of elimination,…
“Code 10” in this case means there is no driver (the device cannot start without a driver, naturally). In cases like this: 1) Make sure to run the set-up file…
The LED is green, there was a typo in the manual. Please also remember that there are LED’s that are orange to indicate the unit is ready, so its possible…
The Micro iCan SE is supplied with 15v, however, it has 18v rated protection circuit that kicks in at a little over 18v, but it may not always reset. So…
The Bluetooth module consumes around 130mW continuous whilst the XMOS (USB) consumes around 350mW continuous at higher sample rates (less at 44.1k). The remainder of the xDSD (clock, reclocking, DAC,…
Is it possible to use the DC iPurifier with a splitter connection to feed 2 devices rated at same specifications? Answer: Yes, this is possible, however, it will generate a…
The 3.5mm connections are TRRS and S-Balanced. However, the 3.5mm input should NOT be used with 3.5mm balanced sources, only iFi S-Balanced. The 2.5mm balanced input expects twice the signal…
My DAC is asynchronous mode and has its own internal master clock, therefore, my question is: who is the master clock in this case? Answer: The micro iUSB 3.0 &…
What we have done is disable the USB device volume control (which uses DSP in the XMOS system to control volume). OSX “obeys” this while other operating systems have additional…
It is for both channels separately. This power level cannot be sustained continuously with sine wave testing. It will, however, deliver transients at the rated power without clipping. Therefore 4,000mW…
No, you can use your phone network to connect to the ZEN Stream using its built-in Wi-Fi hotspot facility, eliminating the need for a computer or Wi-Fi router.
Yes. While constantly pressing the NEO iDSD’s rotary knob, please turn on the product to enter the analogue output setting selection menu. The NEO iDSD will remember a previous setting.
The device should work perfectly fine out of the box, but if you want the newest features or ever start to experience issues, we always suggest updating to see if…
Optical/toslink with iFi units should handle 192kHz, as we test optical inputs with 192kHz. However, just having 192kHz support in the receiver is insufficient. Most toslink transmitters are not able…
We have consulted with the Qualcomm team and verified the following information regarding their audio codec technology: The aptX Adaptive codec is inherently designed to offer low latency and high…
