Thanks for the reply. I will test these and try to find the root cause. Hope i can find it.

I have a problem with my Auralic mini. I use it for 1.5 years now. There is a clicking sound which comes from device. This started before 1 month ago. The click sound doesnt come from speakers directly from the mini. The mini is plugged to my dac through usb cable and i use sbooster 15v power supply with my mini. Anybody faced same issue here? It is really disturbing...

It also happened in my ipad version. I received several times " no storage area" warning from ipad and then it automatically started to delete the storage area of lightning ds. Then it dropped from 5 gb to 2 gb. I couldnt figure out what was deleted exactly but the system reloaded the album covers slowly when i entered the music library again.

The new version works fine and it is a very improved version. Tidal integration is much better. The sorting of albums are right the same as in Tidal software. I think Auralic did a very good improvement on the new LDS.

Hi manpowre Does intona changed the sound quality of hegel in a positive manner? I asked the compatibility of intona with hegel in this forum because i emailed hegel support and they advised to try such devices before buying. They got some feedback that some of these devices do not work with hegel. I couldnt try intona yet so i am very curious if it is worth to add intona to the chain. However i can give a recent feedback of ifi iusb 3.0 power device. (Maybe this is not the exact forum for ifi but would like to share with you my observations) I use Auralic mini as source device so please note that my observations are not related with pc/laptop combinations. I tried ifi audio iusb3.0 with their Gemini dual usb cable which was connected to Hegel hd 12 dac. I use wireworld platinum usb between auralic mini and ifi iusb. Unfortunately the results were not satisfying with ifi. Each time i preferred the sound of Auralic mini without ifi. There was a difference with ifi audio but i can not say it was in a positive manner. The bass was more tight with ifi but it was not natural anymore. The bass extension was gone and it didnt sound natural anymore. This was also same in the mid bass range of instruments. The midbass of acoustic instruments did sound artifical (this was because their natural bass extension were disappered with ifi iusb3.0.) Because there were changes in bass frequency (more tight) seperation of instruments were a little bit better with ifi. That was of course my observations and results in my system. I tried also iusb with my laptop and the changes were more positive . I think if you use a streamer as source the changes are not so obvious as pc and it is not always in a positive manner. So try before buy:)

Great. Thanks for info:)

Hi everyone, After reading the positive comments about Intona I have decided to purchase one Intona Usb isolator. However have a concern about compatibility. I use Hegel HD 12 Dac in my system and would like to ensure whether the Intona is compatible with Hegel hd 12 dac or not? Any idea for that?
