Note 3. I just need the OTG cable then I suppose. How do I get it to route to the iDSD instead?

Other than OTG cable, there are some additional apps need:

We have tried the Samsung Note 3 with USB Audio Player Pro>>OTG Cable>>USB A to B cable to the ifi iDSD and it worked on Spotify!

Where can I get the otg cable?

Hi! Samsung stores have, they sell those as accessories. For Apple products, iStudio, Epi Centre will have.

Is there a USB OTG cable in store for testing with the iDSD? I'm actually heading over to Stereo to get it now

Yes, we do have the demo for iDSD including the OTG cable.

Managed to get it working on N3 and have since purchased the iDSD.

I saw on the ifi facebook page that S3 is workable on iDSD. Anyone managed to get it working?

Great! That's right, it will work also with S3 and you need the OTG and app as well. However, S3 Mini cannot based on iFi info.

Are there any specific steps needed for S3 to use the iDSD?

The steps which worked for N3 doesn't work in S3.

I am using the same OTG cable with the app installed as well.

Not really. It is basically the same steps as what you did with Note 3..

Todo Sealion in Japan takes iDSD for a stroll and gives it A+!

Todo Sealion blogger reported “Let's go out for a walk with a G'zOne type-X and Nexus7 32G and iFI Audio nano iDSD and noise-canceling headphones of Victor.….the mind-bending performance is not a surprise given the it is constantly out of stock. This high-quality portable audio device, I finally purchased from Bic Camera on January 9. I was overwhelmed by its far beyond performance …because it can be used as a headphone amplifier, it is a very useful USBDAC at home and because it can also run for 9 hours at built-in battery on the go…Sound quality at the high-end audio level,….we have A+ satisfied.”

Yoroshiku Todo Sealion!

Voted most Impressive room at L'esprit du Montréal High End by Absolute Sound! (ifi audio & AMR featured)

The Tri-Art Audio and Avatar Acoustics room included an iTube / iPhono / AMR DP-777 / AMR CD-777 in the system.

" Because this is a consumer audio show, I wanted to approach it as a consumer, rather than an analytical journalist. I wandered the three floors that housed the show much as one would if they were there for pleasure, listening for the rooms that caught my attention and made me visit over and over again. That’s what we are all looking for in a system, isn’t it? We want the equipment that speaks to us, that grabs ahold and refuses to let go....The most impressive room by far was the Tri-Art Audio room on the third floor."

Special Thanks to Tri-Art Audio & Avatar Acoustics & Absolute Sound!

i = interactive, fi = fidelity...About IFI Audio few words​

A huge and in-depth write-up of AMR/iFi heritage from Poland’s HiFi Fidelity by Dawid Grzyb.

”There will be no exaggeration to write that the AMR CD-77 is now a branded fugitive in many circles as legendary and unique in its entirety…. In my eyes IFI Audio is a company that is a step ahead of the competition, respond to market demand more quickly than others of a similar profile. It is therefore no surprise to me is how recognizable a constant. Its products play and look. “

Thank you Dawid Grzyb & High Fidelity!

Rocket in your pocket: nano iDSD review in Head-Fi​

What a great title - our market dept should have thought of this nugget. Well, it's a short but sweet review of the nano iDSD.

"The iFi Nano iDSD may not be a looker and it may have a small package but it delivers performance you'd expect from regular desktop DACs at an unbelievable entry level price. In addition to that, if you have to think twice about getting a $600-700 portable amp/DAC that supports iDevices - go for the Nano iDSD and know that it rivals those devices at a price that is 3 times lesser."

thank you exsomnis!

Exactly what I was looking for...Faber65 words about the iDAC!

" Pros: Very detailed but not fatiguing, very good PRaT, tight control extended to the bass - Cons: Not found yet....I had the opportunity to try the iFi iDAC and at the first listening I understood that this was the stuff I was looking for: love at first sight. I purchased the iDAC on the spot and I completed the system by adding the iUSBPower to clean the signal, the Gemini and the Mercury cables, and the iTube as a preamp.The package makes the music flowing from my M-Audio BX5D2 powered monitor speakers in a very smooth and natural way, the PRaT is excellent and the bass firm and under control even at high volume. "

Bravo Thorsten Loesch, good job iFi.

Thanks Faber65 of Head-fi!

You mean, the Nano iDSD right? In the packaging it comes with a pouch, and we do not sell a carrying case for this separately. Sorry about that.
