Take Headphone and Desktop Listening to Higher Levels with the iFi xDSD GR2 Ultra-Res Portable DAC and Headphone Amplifier: Play DSD512, 768kHz PCM, and Lossless Bluetooth, Get 1513mW RMS Power Output and Seven Hours on a Single Charge

Ultra-res, indeed. The iFi iDSD GR2 ultra-res portable DAC and headphone amplifier is a hybrid comprised of parts of two different elements: a high-resolution digital stage fueled by an all-new Burr-Brown PCM1795 DAC chipset and a bespoke analog-output section with Class A op-amps. Fully balanced architecture, low-impedance MOSFETs, and an extremely short signal path pile on the audiophile credentials. 

Designed for both desktop audio and mobile performance with your headphones, iDSD GR2 takes “head fi” to new frontiers at an accessible cost. No matter what style of music you love, iDSD GR2 will render it with exceptional headroom, detail, immediacy, and presence courtesy of 1,513mW RMS output at 32 ohms.

Outfitted with a vibrant OLED display with capacitive touch control for instant access to on-board features, iDSD GR2 supports up to DSD512  and 768kHz PCM. Capability with wireless Bluetooth aptX, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, LDAC, LHDC, AAC, and SBC adds to its value. QCC 5100 Series Bluetooth 5.4 combines with a global master clock and the Burr-Brown DAC to make it all happen. 

With Nexis compatibility that brings every setting to your fingertips as well as OTA updates, the 0.59-pound iDSD GR2 boasts a full suite of useful connections. Hook up wired digital sources via USB-C, S/PDIF, or Bluetooth. Or go analog via 4.4mm or 3.5mm inputs. When you want to plug in headphones, a balanced 4.4mm and S-balanced 3.5mm output reside on the front panel along with a multi-function knob, format LED indicator, volume LED indicator, and an array of settings. LEDs for XSpace Matrix and X Bass II — selectable iFi features that restore soundstaging and enhance bass, respectively — are found here, too. 

Audio enthusiasts have another reason to adopt iDSD GR2. It comes with JVCKENWOOD KH2D technology that restores to digital recordings depth, tone, and musicality — reintroducing subtle harmonic detail to bring recordings closer to their original intent. You also have the option of K2 enhancement without upsampling. 

For convenient operation, iDSD GR2 features a hybrid power mode that balances external power and battery operation. If connected to an external supply, it prioritizes mains power first. If extra power is needed, iDSD GR2 draws from the battery, and automatically returns to external power once demand drops. That means you can leave it plugged in for longer listening sessions without constantly cycling the battery.

Sold with three USB cables and a one-year manufacturer warranty, iDSD GR2is the most versatile portable iFi ever created. Experience it for yourself with the security of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
