Deals 🎉 IFi Audio – IDSD Diablo Portable Amps &DACs 🔔

iDSD Diablo sports an all-new sleek design with stunning red finish. Leading iFi Audio’s range of portable DAC/Amps, iDSD Diablo is designed for audio purists who are devoted to pure and unadulterated sonic output.

Featuring two Burr-Brown DAC chips and the new 16-core XMOS chip to ensure that the data received from USB and S/PDIF digital inputs are processed accurately. iDSD Diablo can easily manage up to PCM 768, DSD 512, 2xDXD making it a ‘bit-perfect’ portable amp. What’s more? iDSD Diablo can seamlessly decode MQA and now that MQA is available over S/PDIF, you can make the best of any MQA CDs you own.

Empowered with balanced, differential analogue circuit design, iDSD Diablo minimizes noise and cross-talks inside the signal path by dividing right and left channels. To add to this, iDSD Diablo comes with PureWave technology. This technology offers refinements to existing balanced and symmetrical dual mono technology by adding quick, direct signal paths. Leaving the traditional negative feedback, Diablo features all-new OptimaLoop to correct negatives to positives.

iDSD Diablo conveniently delivers up to 5000mW of immense power along with propulsive energy and engaging dynamics. This is backed by the ability to add fine texture and detail. You can fine-tune the power and gain to suit your daily music listening experience. There are 3 modes:
1. Turbo – Delivering more power to power-hungry headphones
2. Normal – Ideal for over and on-ear headphones
3. Eco – Optimizes power to suit sensitive in-ear monitors.

Get rid of mains electricity issues like the dips, spikes and noise-inducing RFI/EMI pollution with a battery power which is clean and offers stable DC current. The issues of low output voltage and disparity in output impedance are managed by iDSD Diablo’s design. Diablo features a step-up converter running at 1.2MHz which empowers it to offer high linearity and ultra-low noise.

The mix of a high-bandwidth power supply circuit and independent linear regulation offers exceptional PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) performance. The headphone amp stage has Panasonic OS-CON capacitors that provide 2320uF between the capacitors and IC regulators. The ultra-low-noise regulator along with passive filtering reduces harmonic distortion and jitter. Not just that, the dedicated regulation and multi-stage filtering help USB input stage, while the microprocessor control circuitry has its unique regulation.

For headphones with balanced connection, you can use a 4.4mm Pentaconn output which is available at the font, next to a standard 6.3mm single-ended headphone socket. The backside you get USB-A and a S/PDIF socket for electrical signals using 3.5 connector and optical signals using a supplied adapter. For enhanced mechanical integrity the USB-A input comes with a ‘male’ connector. You also get a dedicated USB-C charging port and a 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced output which you can use to connect an external amp.

To add more value, iFi offers a range of accessories along and a luxurious travel case with iDSD Diablo. You get a noise-cancelling iPower 5V AC/DC adapter for optimised sound clarity, 4.4 mm, Pentaconn to twin XLR balanced interconnect cable so that you can connect an amp or speakers to iDSD Diablo. Moreover, you also get a short (15cm) USB-C to USB-A audio cable, an extension cable, USB-C charging cable along with an adapter so that you can connect headphones with a 3.5mm jack to the 6.3mm single-ended output.
