iFi xDSD Gryphon
Beschrijving / Description
Premium HD DAC + Powerful Balanced headamp.
Portable DAC/amps tend to be compromised because they focus on a great digital OR a great analogue section. But not both. The xDSD Gryphon is different. Just like its mythical namesake, it is two beasts in one.
From the Ultra-Res digital stage using the Burr-Brown MultiBit at the core to the PureWave analogue power section pumping out 1,000mW and other things in-between, it takes serious headphones to tame the xDSD Gryphon.
Specificaties / Specifications
Separate Bluetooth + DAC + amp stages: each optimised for maximum performance
Digital sources via USB, S/PDIF or Bluetooth
Analogue sources via 4.4mm or 3.5mm inputs
Using the latest QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1 as the starting point, for wireless connectivity, the xDSD Gryphon is at the bleeding-edge when it comes to the latest formats:
aptX Adaptive and aptX HD
LDACTM and HWA/LHDC
regular aptX and aptX Low Latency
AAC
SBC (plain vanilla Bluetooth)
Not only this but the above is on the iFi digital platform where each section is distinct. So QC5100 for reception > Global Master Clock for jitter > Burr-Brown for DAC conversion. More effort but that's why our wireless gives wired a run for its money.
