Fantastic Beasts. Here's Where You Find Them.
Portable DAC/amps tend to be compromised because they focus on either a great digital section OR a great analog section. But not both. The xDSD Gryphon is different. Just like its legendary namesake, it's two beasts in one.
From the Ultra-Res digital stage using the Burr-Brown MultiBit at its core to the PureWave analog power section pumping out 1,000mW and more in between, it takes serious headphones to tame the xDSD Gryphon.
Brilliant Bluetooth. High-resolution wireless.
Using the latest QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1 as a starting point, for wireless connectivity, xDSD Gryphon is at the forefront when it comes to the latest formats:
aptX Adaptive and aptX HD
LDACTM and HWA/LHDC
aptX normal and aptX low latency
CAA
SBC (Simple Bluetooth)
Not only that, 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. A bit more effort, but that's why our wireless gives wired a run for its money.

USB and S/PDIF. Connected to nine.
In terms of wired connectivity, the Gryphon xDSD handles all formats using a Burr-Brown hybrid DAC chipset that's the same one used in our £3,000 flagship, the Pro iDSD Signature.
Rest assured that all the following latest formats are catered for but more importantly, they are pushed to their peak.
