A hi-fi system in your pocket
Features:
- Separate Bluetooth DAC amp stages: each optimized for maximum performance
- Digital sources via USB, S/PDIF, or Bluetooth
- Analog sources via 4.4mm or 3.5mm inputs
Portable DAC/amps tend to be compromised because they focus on a great digital OR a great analog section. But not both. ThexDSD Gryphonis different.Just like its mythical namesake, it is two beasts in one.
From the Ultra-Res digital stage using theBurr-Brown MultiBitat the core to thePureWaveanalog power section pumping out 1,000mW and other things in-between, it takes serious headphones to tame theGryphon.
Brilliant Bluetooth. Hi-Res Wireless.
Using the latest QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1 as the starting point, for wireless connectivity, thexDSD Gryphonis at the bleeding-edge when it comes to the latest formats:
- aptX Adaptive and aptX HD
- LDAC and HWA/LHDC
- regular aptX and aptX Low Latency
- AAC
- SBC (plain vanilla Bluetooth)
USB & S/PDIF. Wired to the nines.
In terms of wired connectivity, thexDSD Gryphonhandles all the formats using a hybrid Burr-Brown DAC chipset which is the same as used iniFi's flagship, thePro iDSD Signature.
Rest assured that all the following latest formats are catered for but most importantly, are pushed to their zenith.
Balance of Power
ThexDSD Gryphonuses iFi'sPureWaveamplification circuitry. It has 1,000mW at 32 Ohms. With a whopping max 6.7v output, bring on the high impedance headphones because theGryphonwill not break a sweat driving them.
The 4.4mm Balanced is the best for balanced playback. The 3.5mmS-Balancedwill max SE headphones. And your premium high-sensitivity IEMs have not been forgotten either iEMatchwill cut out the hiss.
