Fantastic Beasts. This is where you find them.

Portable DACs/amps tend to be compromised because they focus on a large digital or analog section. But not both. xDSD Gryphon is different. Just like its mythical namesake, it's two beasts in one.

From the Ultra-Res digital stage utilizing Burr-Brown MultiBit at the core to the PureWave analog power section delivering 1,000mW and everything in between, it takes serious headphones to tame the Gryphon.

Well connected

Separate Bluetooth + amp stages + DAC: each optimized for maximum performance

Digital sources via USB, S/PDIF or Bluetooth

Analog sources via 4.4 mm or 3.5 mm inputs

USB & S/PDIF. Connected to the nine.

In terms of wired connectivity, the xDSD Gryphon handles all formats using a Burr-Brown hybrid DAC chipset, which is the same one used in our £3,000 flagship, the Pro iDSD Signature.

In USB:

PCM (768/705.6/384/352.8/192/176.4/96/88.2/48/44.1 kHz)

DSD (512/256/128/64)

DXD (768/705.6/384/352.8kHz)

MQA (Decoder)

In S/PDIF

PCM (192/176.4/96/88.2/48/44.1 kHz)

DoP

Balance of Power

xDSD Gryphon uses PureWave amplification circuits. It has 1,000mW at 32 Ohms. With a maximum output of 6.7V, bring the high impedance headphones.

This is enough for all types of headphones. The 4.4mm Balanced is best for balanced reproduction. With the 3.5mm S-Balance they will maximize your SE headphones. And its premium high-sensitivity IEMs haven't been forgotten either - iEMatch will cut the "hiss."

Custom-made for your ears

XSpace adds back the cavernous soundscape of the recordings.

XBass II redefines the bass missing from open-back headphones or for recordings where you want more bass. In XBass II you can select 'Bass' and/or 'Presence' so that the upper mid frequencies are correctly added to your favorite recording.

iEMatch - is our proprietary technology that reduces the annoying hiss of high-sensitivity headphones without losing any dynamic range.

With digital sources, users can choose between three custom digital filters via the on-screen menu: Bit-Perfect, Standard and GTO (Gibbs Transient Optimized), each with a tuning effect on the sound.

OLED. Seen but not heard.

The OLED screen and iFi's CyberSync operating system combined open up a whole new world of user pleasure - everything from form factor to battery life is there. Equally important, SilentLine technology means the screen doesn't add system noise. It can even be turned off completely if you prefer.
