Key Features
K2HD restores rich, natural harmonics to lifeless digital recordings. Its advanced high-frequency extension restores harmonic content often lost in the digitisation process, bringing audio quality closer to the original master.
The NEO iDSD 3 offers impressive headphone amplification power, utilising a modified variant of the award-winning iDSD Diablo 2’s amplification stage.
The NEO iDSD 3 continues to uphold class-leading Bluetooth performance through aptX Lossless, delivering CD quality audio via Bluetooth with zero data loss.
PureWave is a balanced, symmetrical dual-mono topology with short, direct signal paths. The name refers to the sonic purity it achieves thanks to exceptional linearity and incredibly low levels of noise and distortion.
At The Tip of the Spear.
The NEO iDSD3 brings together our latest innovations and developments to celebrate the life and energy of live music performance. Where other DACs become cold, clinical and lifeless in the pursuit of detail and transparency, the NEOiDSD3 offers unmatched sonic purity while embracing the energy and emotion of true musicality, so you can feel your music your way.
Rewired For Realism.
The NEO iDSD 3 is built on strengthened foundations, with circuitry reworked at the component level - new operational amplifiers for lower distortion, upgraded polymer capacitors to reduce power supply ripple, and WIMA MKS2 caps for smoother high frequencies. The result is the most accurate sounding playback experience to date, while retaining iFi's signature musicality.

Breathe Life into Your Music.
Digital encoding strips away harmonic detail, leaving music devoid of life and emotion. To break this trend, we have partnered with JVCKENWOOD to enhance the NEO iDSD 3 with K2 and K2HD Technology. Natural harmonic detail is restored, and the depth, nuance and musicality of the original performance is revived.
The Power Within.
Drawing from the multi-award-winning design of the Diablo 2's amplification stage, the NEO iDSD incorporates further refinements to deliver a peak output of ≥5,551mW – over 18 times the peak power offered by the ZEN DAC 3. No headphone will be too much for the NEO iDSD 3 to handle.
Limitless. Lossless.
The NEO iDSD 3 continues to uphold the class-leading Bluetooth performance of its predecessor, supporting aptX Lossless, LDAC, LHDC and more to ensure it continues to represent the pinnacle of wireless sound.
Feel Your Music, Your Way.
Rather than try to tell listeners what perfection means to them, we offer our signature suite of analogue processing tools, allowing each listener to tailor a captivating headphone experience that is perfect for them.
The NEO iDSD 3 offers key quality of life improvements to fit seamlessly into your home setup. The previous 4.4mm analogue input has been replaced with a more practical RCA input for better system integration, including direct connection to modern line-level turntable outputs, while the front power LED now offers adjustable brightness to fit more discreetly into your home setup.
