    Product Description

    iFi Audio iDSD Diablo is a top-of-the-range portable DAC and headphone amplifier designed to deliver a pure, unadulterated sonic performance. The iDSD Diablo is coated in a fiery red finish, fitted with improved technology to provide the very best reference level sound.

    Improved Burr-Brown DAC Chips

    The iDSD Diablo uses two Burr-Brown chipsets so that file formats remain ‘bit-perfect’ to allow you to listen to music as the artist intended in the format in which it was recorded.

    Alongside this, a 16-core low-latency XMOS chip is used to process the data received via the USB and S/PDIF digital inputs, which can handle PCM 768, DSD 512 and 2xDXD. It also provides full MQA decoding!

    PureWave Technology

    The iDSD Diablo has a balanced, differential analogue circuit design to reduce noise and cross-talk within the signal path by fully separating the left and right channels. It is also benefited with the use of PureWave technology, which is balanced, symmetrical dual-mono topology with short, direct signal paths. It achieves sonic purity due to the exceptional linearity and extremely low levels of noise and distortion.

    No More Jitter

    Extensive jitter-eradication technologies have been applied to the digital stage, including our Global Master Timing femto-precision clock and intelligent memory buffer to solve jitter once and for all.

    Accessories Included

    The iDSD Diablo comes with an array of accessories to allow the Diablo to perform to it’s fullest. Included is:

    - A luxurious travel case
    - iFi Audio’s super silent, noise-cancelling iPower 5V AC/DC adapter.
    - 4.4mm Pentaconn to twin XLR balanced interconnect cable to connect the iDSD Diablo to an amp and speakers with balanced XLR inputs.
    - A 15cm USB-C to USB-A audio cable
    - USB-C charging cable
    - An adapter to connect headphones with a 3.5mm jack to the 6.3mm single-ended output.
