  • Fine unit with an issue to consider
This is a nice unit but with a caveat. It has substantially more power than the Idsd signature however it uses the same battery. What this means is that when you drive power hungry phones at a loud volume it drains the battery fast. One reviewer noted that it drives their Hifiman HE6-Se fine, well I own them too however I never bothered to test them because when using the Hifiman/Drop Edition XX, which require less power, at the level I like to listen at, it drains the battery in as little as a half an hour, or less in turbo mode. These phones can take nearly full power in turbo mode. This unit is a must for me however because I like to listen very loud. This pairs best with my Audeze LCD-XC which I use on normal mode. Now I don't mind the short battery life because I use an external battery pack strapped to the unit. If you charge the Diablo first, which you should, it will basically run off the battery pack. My battery pack is about the same size as the Diablo which I originally used with the Idsd Signature because it too had a shorter battery life driving the Edition XX,more than a half hour though, and it lasts forever. All in all the Diablo is much better than the Idsd Signature IMHO. It plays louder without breaking up and it is way more detailed. I don't mind using the external battery and don't care about the extra weight so for me the Diablo is a win. I do think they should have used a bigger battery though. To sum things up, this is a great unit but if you have very power hungry phones and you like to listen very loud then the battery life will be unacceptable without using an external battery. ... show more

  • Impressive sound in a small package
Excellent small form factor DAC/Amp. Good sound stage and plenty of power. My only complaint is that the right channel disables at low volumes and I only get sound out of one side of my headphones. Not a huge issue, but the added volume can result in some fatigue after extended periods of listening. Paired with Focal Elegia headphones using 6.3mm single ended connector and Tidal Masters/MQA streaming service. ... show more

  • If you need iFi support, brace for horrible service
This Diablo product has some good reviews ... if it works! If you buy this Diablo and become dependent on iFi's support team to repair or replace a defective Diablo, you will be severely disappointed and frustrated. They offer no live person to speak with on the phone. You are forced to painfully go through a "customer ticket portal" on their website. Imagine troubleshooting a defective Diablo DAC by portal messages back and forth. Average time to receive a response, sometimes in broken English, 10-14 days. That's the level of service for your $1000 device. It took iFi several months to finally declare my Diablo had a bad component - something to do with an "MCU ... computer chip on the main board." When the portal stopped functioning, that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me - this was right after I iFi finally eked out a cryptic message sort of indicating I could return the useless Diablo to them. What a coincidence, the open ticket portal crashed (my only and excruciating means of "communicating" with them) just at the time they finally said I needed to return my Diablo. Some anonymous person left a cryptic message saying a third party which maintains their website was aware of the customer communication portal crash. Still, no person would call to try to rectify the problem with my defective Diablo. I gave my phone number several times begging that someone would call - to no avail. iFi - is all about sales and their short term top line but no corporate maturity to know poor service brings down the brand value and will impair profits in the long run. I own another iFi product. It is not defective but you are on your own in learning how to use their products (e.g., best smartphone settings to maximize benefit of iFi amp/DAC). No phone support in U.S. for any products. "Manuals" and other online content is far from informing customers all they might want to know about maximizing enjoyment of their products. Adding insult to injury, when you in queue waiting for a reply, if you think of something else and add a piece of information through the portal (if it is working), then your ticket goes to the bottom of the queue. An 8-th grader would know better! This company's products would do much better (and customers would be much happier) if a large company acquires iFi and deploys capital sufficient to support iFi products after point of sale. Current parent company, Abbingdon Global Group, had no publicly-available financials I could find, but obviously does not understand - or care - just how poor post-sale support services are for products of its subsidiary, iFi Audio. In sum, if you buy an iFi product and never need to depend on product support, you might be fine. Otherwise, perhaps this and other similar reviews might get their attention and contribute toward prevention of agony like I experienced. ... show more

  • Excellent Sound Quality, Great for Tidal MQA
I use the Diablo with Sennheiser HD 660S unbalanced stock cable. I use the lowest Eco volume mode and I don't turn the volume up very high. The balanced connection, Normal and Turbo volume modes are all too loud for me, though I probably listen at lower volumes than most. I connect to LG V60, windows PC and nVidia Shield. The sound quality is excellent. MQA tracks via Tidal on the PC or Tidal through USB Audio Player Pro on the LG V60 sound noticeably more detailed compared to Tidal HIFI, depending on the track. Obviously I'm not taking advantage of the power the Diablo offers, but for me the easy connectivity to my devices, portability around the house, sound quality and MQA capabilities justify the price. ... show more

  • Gorgeous sound
This one goes deeper and sounds more transparent than the signature , very subtle but there , however , if you love the Bass boost and 3 D switches , Signature is a better choice , I couldn’t decide , I bought both !
