Has anybody heard the new Ultra Fi iJazz?

seems to be getting some great press. I'm hoping to secure some funds to purchase one

Where is it getting press?

.

Yes please any news about the new Ultra Fi DAC would be appreciated very much. I'm a big fan of the iRoc.

It is my understanding that the "next generation" Ultra-fi DAC will be at the RMAF show in both the RidgeStreet Audio room and the GR Research room. The DAC's name will be different from the "iJazz" name that was an idea the designer was considering. (I think the new DAC name will be released at showtime). From a sonic perspective, the new Ultra-Fi DAC will be very special sonically in terms of "fluidity and space" that is very similar to analog comparably. This is something very new to my ears when it comes to digital playback. I also doubt that any SPDIF player - DAC will be able to match this new Ultra-Fi DAC regarding these "analog-like" sonic merits. I'd love to see a direct comparison against the insanely priced SPDIF type stuff (like Esoteric). I strongly suspect that Ultra-Fi's solution may be better in terms of emulating analog sonically ;-)

Ehider... if the iRoc is any indication of things to come, I think there's going to be some "trouble in Bedrock" in months to come with the new Ultra Fi DAC... and at RMAF it will be absolutely killer with Robert Schultz RSA cabling...

Keep us posted,

:) listening,
