iFi audio NEO iDSD 2 Lossless Bluetooth DAC / Amplifier

Enjoy lossless audio wirelessly with the iFi Audio NEO iDSD 2, a versatile 3-in-1 DAC/amp, designed specifically for CAS audiophiles. Effortlessly pair with your favorite headphones and use this Head-Fi DAC/Amp as a pure DAC with your integrated amplifier or serve as a DAC/Preamp for your active speakers and power amplifier.

The NEO iDSD 2 features the latest Bluetooth 5.4, supporting the new aptX Lossless, the only Bluetooth codec capable of streaming lossless CD-quality audio without sacrificing audio quality. Version 2 of the NEO iDSD has improved headphone and line outputs, providing ample juice for your power-hungry headphones, and power amplifiers.

 

At a Glance

• Versatile audio hub: DAC, preamp, and headphone amp

• Ultra-Res digital audio—32-bit / 784 kHz PCM, DSD512 and full MQA decoding

• Dual-core DAC design enables true-native DSD and PCM

• Advanced jitter reduction—GMT femto-precision clock and smart storage cache

• Four user-selectable digital filters—fine-tune sound to suit the source material

• State-of-the-art HD Bluetooth 5.4—fully optimized performance, whatever your source device

• Every Bluetooth format supported: aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, LHDC/HWA and more

• Enhanced PureWave fully balanced dual-mono circuit design delivers ultra-low distortion

• Exceptional power drives the toughest headphone loads (5x the power of the first-gen NEO iDSD)

• XSpace and XBass II—adjust soundstage and frequency response to match your headphones

• iPower 2 included—audiophile AC/DC power supply with Active Noise Cancelation

• Position horizontally or vertically—2" color display rotates to suit orientation

 

Advanced Bluetooth Technology

• The NEO iDSD 2 features the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, supporting the new aptX Lossless codec, which provides a maximum bitrate of 1200 kb/s. In comparison, aptX Adaptive has a maximum bitrate of 420 kb/s, while LDAC offers a higher bitrate of 990 kb/s.

 

More Powerful

• You heard me correctly—the headphone output power of the NEO iDSD 2 is a whopping 5 times more powerful than that of the 1st-gen NEO iDSD. With a maximum headphone output power of 5551 mW (at 32 ohms), it outperforms some dedicated headphone amplifiers, making them sweat. The headphone section has seen significant improvement, as we’ve essentially integrated a Diablo headphone circuit into it.

 

Flexible Placement

• Whether you’re using the NEO iDSD 2 as a Desk-Fi or Hi-Fi, you can position it horizontally or vertically. The new 2" color display automatically rotates to suit the orientation.

 

GMT Femto-Precision Clock

• The internal GMT femto-precision clock, combined with a smart storage cache, forms an advanced jitter reduction system. It effectively reduces jitter in the digital signal, producing cleaner and more accurate sound.

 

Enhanced Circuitry

• The NEO iDSD 2’s enhanced PureWave circuit design, with its balanced dual-mono topology and short signal paths, is known for outstanding linearity and minimal noise and distortion, offering you exceptional sonic purity.

 

iFi Nexis App for iOS and Android

• Introducing the iFi Nexis App for your NEO iDSD 2. Simply search for NEO iDSD 2 in the app to access a suite of features and settings. Easily perform OTA upgrades, which automatically update your device over the network.

 

Hi-Res Audio

• Hi-res audio support is state-of-the-art with True Native playback. It handles PCM data to 32-bit / 768 kHz, DSD up to DSD512 and single and double speed DXD.

 

XMOS 16-Core Processor

• The XMOS 16-Core chip processes the audio data received via the USB digital input.

 

Master Quality Authenticated (MQA)

• MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is supported through the USB with full decoding of MQA files up to 384 kHz thanks to the processing power of the new 16-core XMOS chip.

 

Burr-Brown True Native

• The Burr-Brown True Native chipset means file formats remain unchanged or bit-perfect. This means you are listening to music as the artist intended in the format in which it was recorded.

 

Qualcomm QCC518x Bluetooth

• iFi Audio uses Qualcomm’s new QCC518x Bluetooth processing IC in combination with proprietary circuits to create an audibly superior Bluetooth engine.

 

Extensive Jitter Eradication Technology

Extensive jitter-eradication technologies are applied to the digital stage, including iFi's GMT (Global Master Timing) femto-precision clock and intelligent memory buffer. This represents a total out of the box systematic digital solution that solves jitter once and for all.

 

PureWave

• Balanced, differential analog circuit design has long been championed for its ability to reduce noise and crosstalk within the signal path by fully separating the left and right channels.

• PureWave is a new balanced symmetrical dual-mono topology with short, direct signal paths. The name refers to the sonic purity it achieves thanks to exceptional linearity and infinitesimally low levels of noise and distortion.
