iFi Audio xDSD Gryphon Ultra-Res Portable DAC and Headphone Amplifier
Portable DAC/amps tend to be compromised because they focus on a great digital OR a great analogue section. But not both. The xDSD Gryphon is different. Just like its mythical namesake, it is two beasts in one. From the Ultra-Res digital stage using the Burr-Brown MultiBit at the core to the PureWave analogue power section pumping out 1,000mW and other things in-between, it takes serious headphones to tame the Gryphon.
Features:
- Ultra-resolution portable DAC and high-power headphone amplier
- State-of-the-Art, Hi-Res wireless/wired audio support
- 3 dedicated stages, Bluetooth, DAC and amplifier, all individually optimised for max performance
