The world's first lossless Bluetooth DAC/Amplifier
It supports the new aptX Lossless, the only Bluetooth codec that can stream CD-quality audio without any loss, and boasts a powerful 5551mW maximum output that surpasses many headphone amplifiers.
It's head-fi. It's desktop. And it's hi-fi.
NEO iDSD 2 is our new versatile 3-in-1 DAC/Amplifier, designed specifically for CAS audiophiles. It pairs easily with your headphones as a Head-Fi DAC/Amplifier, can be used as a pure DAC with your integrated amplifier, or act as a DAC/Preamp for your active speakers and power amplifier.
It features the latest Bluetooth 5.4, which supports the new aptX Lossless, the only Bluetooth codec that can stream lossless CD-quality audio without sacrificing audio quality.
The NEO iDSD 2 features improved headphone and line outputs, providing ample power for your most demanding headphones and power amplifiers.
My blue is not your blue. It is new and without leaks.
The NEO iDSD 2 features the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, which supports the new aptX Lossless codec, which provides a maximum bitrate of 1,200 kbps. In comparison, aptX Adaptive has a maximum bitrate of 420 kbps, while LDACTM offers a higher bitrate of 990 kbps.
However, aptX Lossless is the first and only Bluetooth codec that can stream CD-quality audio without using a compression method that degrades sound quality. While other Bluetooth codecs claim to support CD-quality and even high-resolution audio, they use lossy compression during transmission, which negatively impacts sound quality.
The NEO iDSD 2 uses the new Qualcomm QCC518x Bluetooth audio chip, is qualified for Bluetooth 5.4, supports all* Bluetooth formats including: aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX, LDACTM, LHDC/HWA, AAC and SBC.
*As of September 22, 2023. Please check your device for Bluetooth codec support.

Headphone output power 5 times greater than its predecessor.
You heard me right: the NEO iDSD 2’s headphone output is a whopping 5x more powerful than the first-generation NEO iDSD. With a maximum headphone output of 5,551mW (@32Ω), it even beats some dedicated headphone amplifiers and makes them sweat. The headphone section has seen a significant improvement, as we’ve essentially integrated a Diablo headphone circuit into it.
It features Auto iEMatch to reduce annoying hiss from high-sensitivity headphones without losing dynamic range and four gain settings ranging from -12dB to +16dB, making it suitable for all your IEMs and headphone types, from super sensitive to power-hungry.
The NEO iDSD 2 is not only a powerhouse, it is also tailor-made for your ears. The newly added analog processing modes, XSpace and XBass II, along with four digital filters, allow you to fine-tune the sound. Both XSpace and XBass II are pure analog signal processing modes designed to adjust the soundstage and low-frequency response to suit your headphones.
Close to you. No matter up or down.
Whether you're using NEO iDSD 2 as a Desk-Fi or Hi-Fi, you can position it horizontally or vertically. The new 2-inch color display automatically rotates to match the orientation.
When using it as a Desk-Fi, you can place it vertically on your desk to save space. Set it to variable output, and with its powerful 19.5V maximum balanced output, it works well with your active speakers with volume control. The volume control is analog, superior to any digital volume control.
When using NEO iDSD 2 as a Hi-Fi, you can place it horizontally. It can act as a pure DAC, playing all high-resolution music files from PCM 32bit/768kHz to DSD512 and full MQA decoding. You can also connect it directly to your power amplifier as a pre-amplifier, using its analog volume control.
