Fantastic Power for Portable Headphones.
Experience pure, lossless audio with the iFi xDSD Gryphon Headphone Amp DAC. In terms of wired connectivity, the xDSD Gryphon handles all audio formats using a hybrid Burr-Brown DAC chipset, which is the same as used in iFi's flagship the Pro iDSD Signature. Enjoy PCM, DSD, DXD, and MQA through the USB-C input, and PCM and DoP with the S/PDIF input. The xDSD Gryphon uses a low-latency, 16-core XMOS microcontroller delivering enhanced processing power for a perfect partnership with the Burr-Brown DAC.
The xDSD Gryphon uses iFi's PureWave amplification circuitry to deliver 1,000mW of power at 32 Ohms—enough to drive even the most demanding headphones. With a max output of 6.7V, the xDSD Gryphon can handle high-impedance headphones with ease, reducing jitter and noise. For those premium highly-sensitive IEMs, iEMatch technology eliminates hiss for a truly immersive listening experience
High-Quality Componentry
High-quality components are used throughout the xDSD Gryphon Headphone Amp DAC including custom ultra-low distortion op-amps, multilayer ceramic TDK C0G capacitors, MELF thin-film resistors, and inductors from Murata and Taiyo Yuden. OptimaLoop, a negative feedback system incorporates multiple feedback paths instead of one global loop to deliver optimal overall performance. The xDSD Gryphon's advanced circuitry and components work together to provide a clean, transparent, and dynamic sound signature that brings out the best in your music. The bass is tight and well-defined, the midrange is clear and detailed, and the treble is extended and smooth, without any harshness or sibilance.
