iFi Audio Introduces the iDSD Valkyrie - A Personal Sound Studio In The Palm Of Your Hand.
iFi Audio presents the iDSD Valkyrie, an exceptional DAC & Amp for an extraordinary listening experience on the go. Featuring a groundbreaking quad-DAC architecture, massive 5,700mW* peak output and combines state-of-the-art K2HD Technology, DSD Remastering, and six digital filters with their signature analogue processing, all housed in a portable powerhouse. It is equipped with crystal-clear lossless Bluetooth and an impressive 18-hour battery life, the Valkyrie stands unrivalled in the world of portable audio devices.
Embeds Quad-Burr Brown DAC Architecture For Coherent Sound
iFi Audio iDSD Valkyrie features a quad-stack of Burr Brown DACs for superior linearity and channel separation, inheriting technology from their Pro iDSD mastering-grade DAC. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Philips TDA1541A multi-bit DAC, known as the "king of multi-bit DACs, this quad-core architecture delivers dynamic punch and exceptional detail through eight pairs of differential signals. For optimal performance, the analog path is isolated on a dedicated board to minimise crosstalk.
Utilises DSD Remastering Technology For Professional-Like Audio
iFi Audio iDSD Valkyrie brings elite DSD remastering technology, previously exclusive to professional mastering studios directly to music enthusiasts. Using a custom-coded FPGA, their bespoke DSD Remastering algorithm transforms any audio file by increasing resolution and reducing distortion, delivering sound quality that rivals professionally remastered recordings. Like the technology used in Sony's mastering studios, this powerful processing ensures your music reaches its full potential.
Experience Rich Audio With Renowned K2HD Technology
iFi Audio iDSD Valkyrie's K2HD restores rich, natural harmonics to lifeless digital recordings. Its advanced high-frequency extension revives overtones beyond 22kHz, delivering audio quality close to the original master. iFi Audio worked with JVCKENWOOD for 18 months to develop this product and bring their renowned K2HD Technology back to the forefront.
Offers Power Output Up To 5,700mW & Seamless Compatibility Options
