I would love to see the "IFI - Pro iDSD Signature DAC" get a proper ASR review. It is a $3,249 DAC and it would be interesting to see how it performs on Amir's "bench!"
The DAC is even available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/iFi-Pro-iDSD-Signature-Entertainment/dp/B09C8J47KY

Now if someone can just design a circuit to get S/PDIF out of this thing in the usual consumer format with a 0.5 V Peak-to-peak V. This should be doable, since the aforementioned signal is already being generated and made available on one of the pins of the internal ADC, only to get "discarded."...
I need to mount a pair of bookshelf active monitors on a wall for my PC and because the entire front/left/right is covered with a two high stack of 32" computer monitor screens, in a 3 wide x 2 high configuration. I will be forced to use brackets to hold the speakers to walls, about two-three...

I am also interested in I2S output, not just USB from the Cosmos unit. That would really of interest to those of us that want to use the output digitally, either as I2s or convert to S/PDIF, AES/EBU, TOSLINK, etc...
I have two DEQ2496 units. What good modern devices can I replace them with, that have similar functionality? I only need balanced inputs and S/PDIF outputs, and of course the functionality in the DEQ2496.
How does the volume control work on the D90SE? Does it use the DAC chip's internal volume control (digital domain?) or does it do an external volume reduction in circuitry? Also, what are the attenuation steps? 0.5 dB? 1 dB?
Also, since the volume control is defeatable, does having the volume...
Thank you very much for your detailed reply and analysis. I and I am sure other likeminded members really appreciate it - understanding where this program stands on the road to the true measurements of performance of a piece of audio gear.
