“Pros: Clarity, power, versatility, build quality.”

” It is with great pleasure that I can say that I have been selected to take part in the iFi Micro iDSD Black Label listening tour…a DAC utilising a dual core Burr-Brown DSD512/PCM768/2xDXD chip and headphone amplifier..The iDSD BL came with a generous amount of accessories…There are so many things this little beast can do…(orange on black is very legible, thank you!)…It had copious amounts of power when called for…The iDSD BL is unwieldy, but is indeed portable enough to move from room to room, or take with you for listening while writing in a coffee shop or other stationary activity….The iDSD BL did pair easily to my Samsung Galaxy S7…I do think most people will opt to use this primarily as a DAC/amp, either on a desktop, or portably with a laptop..I enjoyed the iDSD BL so much…I lean slightly towards the iFi…I am truly sorry to see the iDSD BL leave…iFi has done a great job with the iDSD BL. It’s well built, very versatile, has plenty of power on tap and sounds fantastic…you do get a lot for your money….I can definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the market for a DAC/amp. It is definitely worth a listen.”
