Fred D : What is rating d?STEPHEN F : If you really want a question answered, maybe use a complete sentence.NANTHA K : I rated the IFi as 5 stars. I have the silver version and just recently purchased the black label version. It's my favorite ext DAC/Amp.
Fangzheng D : The ifi idsd I bought won't work after I connect it to my pc with usb, after I turn on the ifi. The sound still comes out of computer rather than my headphone that connects to the ifi amplifier. How can you help me?Ivette G : Verify if the idsd driver is the default option in the sound options of the pc and that you installed correctly the drivers and you need a dsd capable media player like jriver,for dsd files.Ryan R : If you're using a Mac computer go to the application settings and choose the midi application. From there choose ifi as the sound output.DAVID S : you have to disable your sound card and specify ifi ;)

Awesome USB DAC/headphone amp

I purchased this as an upgrade to the iFi Nano iDSD. It's a great sounding amplifier and has a good deal more boost than the Nano. I purchased this to use with HiFiMan HE-400i headphones and I really couldn't be happier. My only quibbles are little things, like it's a little too easy to switch the buttons on the bottom accidently. I give it four stars but I feel I could upgrade it to five.

Good sound

Good stuff. I bought this dac/amp impulsively, but now I'm glad that I did. It produces a superb sound and I don't see myself replacing this unit any time soon.

There is nothing like the micro iDSD. It is literally, out of this world. It is the only DAC in the world (at any price) to play True Native Octa-DSD512/PCM768/Double DXD. Its Perfect-Match means it can be fine-tuned to any headgear from IEMs all the way through to large headphones. Its 8v/4000mW output makes it one of the most powerful headamps to drive even the most hungry of headphones with ease. iFi has forged an enviable reputation for being at the forefront of computer audio technology. The micro iDSD has just made another leap, an Octa-Leap to be precise. With its special Dual-Core Burr-Brown native DSD/PCM chipset at the heart, the micro iDSD is capable of True Native PCM768, Octa-Speed DSD512 and 2x DXD; it is simply out of this world.

The micro iDSD has 3 different power modes Eco, Normal and Turbo. Capable of 4000mW, 1000mW or 250mW, the micro iDSD is able to drive the full gamut of headphone and amplifiers alike. With iEMatch there to dial to suit any IEM, the micro iDSD has redefined the headphone amplifier class. Used along with the analogue volume control, the diminutive size of the micro iDSD belies its uncanny ability to drive virtually anything and everything! SmartPower is the micro iDSD's onboard recharging feature for Smartdevices. Its 4800mAH battery is able to fully recharge an iPhone two-times. Compatible with Apple and Android, phones and tablets, it is another example of iFi's commitment to customer needs - enjoy high-end audio on the go without worrying about the phone going flat.

iFi's iCAN and iTube have already achieved widespread acclaim, so much so that their core features including 3D Holographic and XBass have become renowned in their own right and imitated by others. In the micro iDSD, for the first time in an iFi product, it features XBass and 3D Holographic for Headphones and Speakers. All these features are still executed in the analogue, not digital domain to preserve the original music format. And so much more... with the amazing Crowd-Design program, they are over the moon that you, the customer was central to the development of the micro iDSD. The micro iDSD is literally bursting with features - such as Direct/Pre-Amp, 3.5mm input, SPDIF Input/Output and much, much more. You will have to see it to believe it.
