    We would agree on that. micro iDSD Signature is more similar to its predecessor, but xDSD Gryphon has more in common with iDSD Diablo. In a nutshell, it's less warmth, more speed.

    Exit stage left....
    couple of Gryphon findings:

    1. FINALLY found a decent, much longer Apple Lightning to USB-C cable that works with the Gryphon:

    2. the iFi case for the Gryphon is stellar! nice protective material, fits the Gryphon like a tight glove / fist.
    device can't slip out in any way. Only minor inconvenience is when you need to slide out Gryphon to adjust the IEMatch switch on the under side.

    Gryphon has been stellar since Day 1 with Timeless 7hz, CA Solaris 2020 and the JVC-FDX1.
    it even adds some life to Apple AirPods Max if you have the lightning to 3.5mm cable adapter.
    if Roon worked from a deserted island, I'd take an iPad Pro, USB-C cable, iFi Gryphon and Solaris 2020 and not be missing much, except from the big Susvara rig.

    yet, there's more goodness thanks to the iFi folks! will make for some fun listening, and discerning choices perhaps....
