Transportable or desktop, iFi's iDSD Diablo 2 delivers. Meet the ultimate solution for audiophiles needing separate systems for home and mobile use: the iDSD Diablo 2. With a powerful 5,180mW headphone output, it has more power than many desktop DAC/AMP setups. For ultra-res wireless audio the Diablo 2 sports Bluetooth 5.4 that supports the new aptX Lossless codec making it the world’s first Lossless Bluetooth portable DAC and amp combo.
The Diablo 2 supports the revolutionary xMEMS‘ solid state monolithic speaker technology making it the go-to DAC and amp combo compatible with xMEMS microspeaker technology. It features Normal, Turbo and Nitro gain modes - optimised for high sensitivity headphones/IEMs, and the most power-hungry headphones on the market.
For advanced wireless connection the Diablo 2 supports the new aptX Lossless codec - the only Bluetooth codec capable of streaming lossless CD-quality audio. Every Bluetooth format is supported including aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, LHDC/HWA and more. Digital wired audio is able to support 32-bit/784kHz PCM, DSD512 and full MQA decoding.
Heavenly Sound. Devilish Power.
EVERY BLUETOOTH CODEC AND MUSIC FORMAT
The Diablo 2 features the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, supporting the new aptX Lossless codec. The Diablo 2 used Qualcomm’s new QCC518x Bluetooth audio chip, is qualified to Bluetooth 5.4, supported all* Bluetooth formats including: aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX, LDAC, LHDC/HWA, AAC and SBC. Dual Core Burr Brown chipset provides Bit-Perfect DSD and PCM support at sample rates up to 768kHz, DSD512, and Full MQA decoding.
POWER-HUNGRY HEADPHONES? HIT NITRO
The Diablo 2 offers three power modes: Normal for IEMs, Turbo for mid-sensitivity headphones, and Nitro for demanding headphones, boasting a 19.2V maximum output. It accommodates a wide range of headphones, from IEMs to power-hungry over-ears. It features a 6.3mm single-ended headphone socket and a 4.4mm balanced output. Additionally, a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter is included for versatile connectivity.
XMEMS NEXT-GEN HEADPHONE DRIVER TECHNOLOGY
Due to the high voltage requirements of xMEMS, iFi has partnered with them to integrate this technology into the new Diablo 2. It utilises the piezoelectric effect to create paper-thin solid-state speakers by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, exciting an integrated silicon membrane to generate powerful acoustic sound waves for enhanced audio output.
DEVIL IN THE DETAILS
When examining the Diablo 2’s front panel, you’ll find a new Volume Lock switch next to the volume control, preventing accidental adjustments during transport. At the back panel’s left side, there’s a switch for mode selection and Bluetooth pairing. On the right side, two USB-C ports streamline cable management—one for audio and the other for charging.
WINGS OF INFERNO
The Diablo 2 comes with four wings that you can customise to position it horizontally, like a desktop DAC/amp, or vertically to save space. Additionally, it features twenty-two rails for improved cooling performance, with eight of these rails being compatible with the Diablo wings, enabling desktop stand use.
SOUND SO MOVING. EVEN THE DEVIL MAY CRY
Diablo 2 features PureWave, Servoless DirectDrive, OptimaLoop, and Advanced Jitter Reduction Technology, delivering exceptionally pure, detailed, and emotionally touching sound, these technologies elevate performance to unparalleled heights, even challenging desktop DAC/amps.
