Surging with infernal power.
Sporting cutting edge xMEMS and Lossless Bluetooth technology, the flagship iDSD Diablo leads the charge with future-proof features and raw power - take your most demanding headphones wherever you go, we dare you.
Key Features
The iDSD Diablo 2 is an extraordinarily powerful portable headphone amplifier, capable of delivering more than 15,000mW from its balanced outputs and up to 5,180mW of maximum output.
The iDSD Diablo 2 is compatible with an impressive array of high-definition Bluetooth formats. LDACTM and LHDC (HWA) are both supported to their maximum
32-bit/96kHz specifications, with LDACTM’s highest 990kbps bitrate available to users of Android devices that support Snapdragon Sound (660kbps with other LDACTM-enabled devices).
Hi-Res True Native® playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384 and DXD384.
xMEMS (microelectromechanical system) drivers represent a revolutionary leap in audio driver technology, offering excellent precision and consistency. Unlike traditional drivers that rely on dynamic or balanced armature mechanisms, xMEMS uses silicon-based manufacturing, therefore allowing for ultra-fast transient response, low distortion, and enhanced detail retrieval.
With xMEMS compatibility, the iDSD Diablo 2 is optimized to extract every nuance and subtlety these advanced drivers can produce. Whether you're listening to intricate acoustic arrangements or high-energy electronic tracks, the Diablo 2 ensures seamless synergy with xMEMS-powered earphones or headphones.
“It’s got a NOS fogger system and a T4 Turbo, Dominic.”
Struggling with your power-hungry headphones? Press the NOS button, and our Diablo goes into beast mode. The Diablo 2 offers three power modes: Normal for IEMs, Turbo for mid-sensitivity headphones, and Nitro for demanding headphones, boasting a 19.2V maximum output. A switch underneath activates iFi’s iEMatch technology. This feature is tailored for high-sensitivity headphones and earphones, greatly benefiting your in-ear monitors (IEMs). It removes background noise and increases the usable volume range.
Wings of Inferno.
The Diablo 2 comes with four wings that you can customise to position it horizontally, like a desktop DAC/amp, or vertically to save space. Additionally, it features twenty-two rails for improved cooling performance, with eight of these rails being compatible with the Diablo wings, enabling desktop stand use.
Shattering Boundaries
Due to the high voltage requirements of xMEMS, iFi has partnered with them to integrate this technology into the new Diablo 2. It utilises the piezoelectric effect to create paper-thin solid-state speakers by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, exciting an integrated silicon membrane to generate powerful acoustic sound waves for enhanced audio output.

Sound So Moving. Even the Devil May Cry.
Diablo 2 features PureWave, Servoless DirectDrive, OptimaLoop, and Advanced Jitter Reduction Technology, delivering exceptionally pure, detailed, and emotionally touching sound, these technologies elevate performance to unparalleled heights, even challenging desktop DAC/amps.
PureWave’s full balanced dual-mono circuitry elevates clarity by separating channels and reducing noise. DirectDrive removes the need for coupling capacitors, ensuring purer audio. OptimaLoop employs tailored multiple feedback paths in amplifiers, refining gain control and reducing distortion.
Ruling all Bluetooth codec and music formats.
The Diablo 2 features the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, supporting the new aptX Lossless codec, which provides a maximum bitrate of 1,200kbps. In comparison, aptX Adaptive has a maximum bitrate of 420kbps, while LDAC offers a higher bitrate of 990kbps.
Diablo 2 comes with a variety of accessories, all included with the product, so you won’t need to make separate purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the most frequently asked questions about this product. For more product information please contact us through Contact
What is the approximate listening time in Battery mode with typical headphones?
Normal: for high-sensitivity IEMs, up to a maximum of 12 hours.
Turbo: for medium-sensitivity headphones, up to a maximum of 9 hours.
Nitro: for the most demanding headphones, up to a maximum 6 hours.
What is the approximate listening time in xMEMS mode with typical headphones?
Normal: DC bias level is 10V, up to a maximum of 8 hours
Turbo: DC bias level is 12V, up to a maximum of 7 hours
Nitro: DC bias level is 14V, up to a maximum 6 hours
What is the iEMatch switch for?
iEMatch reduces the output level, so that even the most sensitive In-Ear-Monitors (IEMs) can be matched to the iDSD Diablo 2.
iEMatch can increase the dynamic range of sensitive IEMs by reducing background amplifier hiss
Does the iDSD Diablo 2 support wireless mode (Bluetooth)?
Yes, this mode allows you to connect the iDSD Diablo 2 to a DAP, phone or any other music source with Bluetooth wirelessly
How long does it take to get to full charge?
For charging only. Due to the very high-power nature of iDSD Diablo 2, it will take ~12 hours and ~5 hours for a standard and high-powered charger, respectively, to fully recharge
What does the LED for Batery statuds mean?
LED > Status
White* > 75%
Green* > 25%
Red* > 10%
Red (flashing) ≤ 10%
