iFi Audio NEO iDSD 2 Wireless DAC, Pre-amp & Headphone Amplifier

NEO iDSD 2 from iFi Audio is a versatile 3-in-1 DAC/Amp designed for dedicated audiophiles who appreciate Computer Audio Systems (CAS). It seamlessly adapts to different audio setups, functioning as a Head-Fi DAC/Amp for headphones, a pure DAC for integrated amplifiers, or a DAC/Preamp for active speakers and power amplifiers.

World's First Lossless Bluetooth DAC/Amp The NEO iDSD 2 proudly holds the title of the world's first lossless Bluetooth DAC/Amp. It features support for the new aptX Lossless codec, which is the only Bluetooth codec capable of streaming high-quality, lossless CD-grade audio. With a robust 5551mW output, it outperforms many dedicated headphone amplifiers, delivering powerful and pristine sound.

Cutting-Edge Bluetooth 5.4 Technology Equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, the NEO iDSD 2 offers support for various Bluetooth formats, including aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX, LDAC, LHDC/HWA, AAC, and SBC. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio sources and devices while maintaining exceptional sound quality.

Five Times More Headphone Output Power The headphone output power of the NEO iDSD 2 is a remarkable five times more powerful than its predecessor, the 1st-gen NEO iDSD. With a maximum output power of 5,551 mW (@ 32Ω), it can effortlessly drive demanding headphones. The headphone section has seen substantial improvement, incorporating elements from the Diablo headphone circuit for enhanced performance.

Flexible Placement Options Whether used as a Desk-Fi or Hi-Fi component, the NEO iDSD 2 offers versatility in positioning. It can be placed horizontally or vertically, with the 2-inch color display automatically adjusting to the orientation. In Desk-Fi mode, it can be positioned vertically to save space. Additionally, it features a powerful 19.5V maximum balanced output, making it compatible with active speakers with volume control. The analogue volume control ensures superior sound quality compared to digital alternatives.

GMT Femto-Precision Clock for Enhanced Sound The NEO iDSD 2 incorporates an internal GMT femto-precision clock with a smart storage cache to reduce jitter in the digital signal. This advanced jitter reduction system results in cleaner and more accurate sound reproduction. Moreover, it offers an external 10MHz External Sync Clock input for synchronizing with other devices for even greater clock signal accuracy.

Enhanced Circuitry for Superior Sound The NEO iDSD 2 features an enhanced PureWave circuit design with a balanced dual-mono topology and short signal paths. This design ensures outstanding linearity, minimal noise, and distortion, delivering exceptional sonic purity. It boasts an improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of >120dB(A), Dynamic Range (DNR) of -120dB(A), and Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N) of less than 0.0015%, placing its performance on par with higher-priced DACs.

iFi Nexis App for Convenient Control The iFi Nexis App enhances your NEO iDSD 2 experience. You can easily perform Over-the-Air (OTA) upgrades to keep your device up to date. The app provides convenient control over various functions and settings, allowing you to tailor your audio experience to your preferences. It's your gateway to unlocking the full potential of your NEO iDSD 2.
