Audio has a new order: Octa‐SpeedDSD512/PCM768
Where no DAC has gone before
With advanced technology not seen on Digital‐Analogue‐Converters at any price, iFi is bursting with pride to announce the micro iDSD. With Dual‐Core Burr‐Brown processors at the heart ‐ it is the world’s first.
True native DSD512(24.6/22.6MHz), PCM 768kHz and 2xDXD(705/352kHz) portable/main system DAC Headamp with 4000mW of power.
Being iFi’s 1st Crowd‐Designed project,1 the micro iDSD represents an “Octa‐Leap.” To celebrate, the first 512 units will be special “Octa‐Adopter” units. They will be in stores by mid‐July.
