Is it worth upgrading from iFi Zen stack (DAC +Can) to ifi audio neo idsd dac 1st version?

[@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250]

NEO iDSD 2, yes. NEO iDSD original, no.

[@port7475]

Great review as usual! I hope you'd have opportunity to compare it with Aune S17 Pro.

[@adasdasad-xu7il]

I have both and using idsd2 as dac to s17

Too bad it looks like a chinese DVD player from the 90's

I’m torn between this and the Fiio R7 and R9.I have a few Ifi products ,including several of their ipower products and an ican pro amp.Plus i have two Fiio Daps including the M17.So I’m curious if the Neo competes with Fiio’s desktop all in ones

i really like the style of your reviews. unlike many of the big budget reviewers out there i can exactly imagine how a headphone or amp will sound based on your descriptions. would be awesome if you could review the ZMF Caldera at some point. it seems to fuse many aspects you liked about the HS100SE and the Atrium

Thank you.

Where is the scene wider in Zen dac v2 or in idsd 2?

[@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250]

I haven't heard the ZEN DAC 2. Compared to the original ZEN DAC the NEO iDSD2 is a much better dac.

Full review soon? :)

[@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250]

It could be a while. I have a lot of equipment in for review, and unfortunately still have to work a full time job. I also had to take a break for a couple of weeks because of some family issues. Trying to get back on my reviews right now.
