iFi NEO iDSD 3 | Ultra-Res Desktop DAC and Amp

NEO iDSD 3 Takes The Purist Design of iFi's Midrange Home Series Even Further, Combining Re-Engineered Hardware for Greater Fidelity with Advanced Software

• Native PCM 768kHz and DSD512 support
• K2HD technology recovers the depth and nuance of master recordings
• Revised internal circuitry for more accurate playback
• Award-winning Burr-Brown DAC stage
• XBass II and XSpace analogue processing

Rewired for Realism

iFi has upgraded the internals of the NEO iDSD 3 to bring the most accurate sounding playback experience to date, while retaining the innate musicality it's known for. This includes new operational amplifiers with 50% lower distortion, upgraded polymer capacitors for 50% less power supply ripple, and WIMA MKS2 series caps for lower distortion and smoother HF. 

Restoring the Source Code

Digital masters often miss the warmth and richness of their analog routes, leaving you with sound that's cold and lifeless. JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology extends high frequencies to restore natural harmonics, to bring back the depth, nuance, and musicality of the original performance. 

For those who prefer this restoration without altering the song's sample rate, 'K2' mode provides a similar effect while preserving the native resolution. 

The Power Within

With the Diablo 2's amplification stage at its core, the NEO iDSD 3 delivers infernal power to your headphone setup. 

Unplugged from Limits

The NEO iDSD 2 made history as the world's first DAC to support the aptX Lossless codec, delivering true CD-quality audio over Bluetooth with zero data loss. The NEO iDSD 3 continues to uphold class-leading Bluetooth performance, supporting aptX Lossless, LDAC, LHDC, and more to ensure it remains at the pinnacle of wireless sound. 

Two Pathways to Perfection

The NEO iDSD 3 uses a custom DAC stage built around a Burr-Brown chipset, hand-picked by us for its natural musicality. Its distinctive architecture handles PCM and DSD via separate pathways, preserving a bit-perfect signal all the way through to analogue conversion. With PCM input, the six most significant bits are processed in true multi-bit fashion, for natural dynamics and slam. The rest are handled via delta- sigma processing for exceptional low-level linearity.
