iFi iDSD GR2 (Gryphon 2)
Successor to the legendary xDSD Gryphon, the iDSD GR 2 is a generational leap forward, with a host of innovative features for the on-the-go audiophile. The result is the most versatile true-portable DAC we’ve ever made.
- Rebuilt from the ground up, it introduces a new DAC chipset and refined architecture, unlocking greater potential for sound quality than ever before.
- The GR 2 breaks new ground as our first DAC to feature the Burr-Brown PCM1795 chipset. It delivers the warm, analogue character we’re known for, but elevated with true 32-bit resolution, lower distortion, and greater dynamic range.
- Class A op-amps offer a more natural analogue character, while refinement of the circuitry - now fully balanced from end to end - has considerably reduced distortion. iEMatch circuitry has also been upgraded with low-impedance MOSFETS.
- The iDSD GR 2 delivers up to 1,513mW RMS output - 50% more headphone drive than the xDSD Gryphon, giving it the headroom to handle more demanding loads with ease.
- A new capacitive touchscreen OLED display brings direct, intuitive control to the surface of the GR 2. The interface has been purposefully designed around speed and clarity, making device adjustments feel natural and responsive.
- GR 2 marks a new generation of portable audio, now paired with a new generation of Bluetooth performance through 5.4 and aptX Lossless. For those looking for the highest available bitrate before going fully lossless, LDAC ensures premium-quality listening with bitrates of up to 990kbps.
- The GR 2 incorporates JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology to restore depth, tone, and musicality - reintroducing subtle harmonic detail to bring recordings closer to their original intent. For those who prefer a lighter touch, ‘K2’ mode offers similar enhancement without upsampling.
