iFi NEO iDSD 2 DAC/Amp

The NEO iDSD 2 is highly versatile: you can use it as a dedicated headphone amplifier/DAC, a pure DAC connected to an external amplifier, or a DAC/preamp to control active speakers directly. This flexibility allows it to serve as the central hub for both your headphone listening and your main speaker system.

Yes. The NEO iDSD 2 is the world's first DAC to support aptX Lossless, which enables true CD-quality wireless streaming. It also supports other high-resolution codecs like LDAC and LHDC, ensuring your wireless audio is as close to wired quality as possible.

Absolutely. With a maximum output of 5551mW at 32 ohms and support for headphones up to 600 ohms, it has plenty of headroom to drive even the most demanding planar magnetic or high-impedance dynamic headphones with ease.

The device features a built-in sensor that detects its orientation. Whether you choose to place the unit horizontally on your desk or vertically on its included stand to save space, the OLED display automatically rotates so the text is always upright and easy to read.

These are analogue signal processing modes designed to enhance your listening experience without degrading the audio quality. XBass II adds a subtle, natural boost to the low end, while XSpace widens the soundstage, helping to counteract the 'in-your-head' feeling often associated with headphone listening.

For most modern operating systems, the NEO iDSD 2 is plug-and-play. However, for full Hi-Res support including DSD512 and MQA decoding on Windows, you will need to download the appropriate iFi USB driver from their website.
