IFi NEO iDSD 2

IFi NEO iDSD 2 — top DAC and headphone amplifier

For audiophiles looking for a universal solution, the iFi NEO iDSD 2 is the ideal center for desktop Head-Fi systems, active speakers or Hi-Fi sets with a power amplifier. This device combines DAC, headphone amplifier and preamp in one, while offering significantly higher performance than its predecessor. With support for Bluetooth 5.4 and aptX Lossless, it delivers lossless CD-level sound quality. Thanks to its fully balanced architecture and analog functions XBassII and XSpace, it provides a clean, dynamic and natural sound.

Performance and sound quality

Thanks to the PureWave dual mono amplifier technology with extremely low distortion, the NEO iDSD 2 can handle even the most demanding headphones, including planar and high-impedance models. Precise analog volume control and gain selection allow you to tailor the sound in detail for both sensitive IEMs and powerful headphones. The audio architecture includes a dual core DAC for native PCM and DSD and a GMT femto precision clock to minimize jitter, ensuring maximum clarity and neutral sound character.

Wireless connectivity and Bluetooth aptX Lossless

NEO iDSD 2 is one of the first devices on the market to support aptX Lossless. This allows the transmission of lossless audio in CD quality (16/44.1) over Bluetooth, which is ideal for serious Hi-Fi listening without cables. A stable connection is ensured by modern Bluetooth 5.4, and support for all major codecs (aptX Adaptive, LDAC, AAC, SBC) guarantees compatibility with most devices.

Wide connectivity options

With a rich range of inputs and outputs, the NEO iDSD 2 is easy to integrate into any audio system. On the input side, there are USB-B, S/PDIF coaxial and optical, as well as 3.5mm analog line-in. XLR and RCA for line are available for outputs, as well as 4.4mm balanced and 6.3mm single-ended for headphones. The device can be used with volume control as a preamp, or as a pure DAC with fixed level.
