Chris Martens has posted his initial impressions of the iFi Micro iDSD portable headphone amplifier-DAC ($499) at Hi-Fi+. His conclusions:
“When you get right down to it, one of the reasons people either choose to buy (or not buy) iFi products involves the firm’s ‘house sound’, which is quite natural-sounding with generous helpings of organic warmth and an also generous helping of punchy-sounding dynamics. For many, this sound comes pretty close to a working definition of the term ‘musicality’, though for other a slightly leaner, more stringently neutral (and even a little bit analytical) sound might be more to their tastes.”
