3‑in‑1 Desktop DAC · Headphone Amp · Pre‑amp

Discover a versatile audio hub designed to bring high-resolution, lossless sound to your setup—whether you're on your desk, in the studio, or streaming wirelessly.

An Amp That Powers Everything

With five times the power of its predecessor, the headphone amplifier delivers up to 5,551 mW @ 32 Ω—enough to drive power-hungry headphones easily. Four gain options, including Auto iEMatch for sensitive IEMs, ensure hiss-free clarity across all volume levels. 

Stream CD‑Quality via Bluetooth

Equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 and Qualcomm’s QCC5185/518x chip, the NEO iDSD 2 is the first desktop DAC/amp to support aptX Lossless at 1,200 kbps, plus aptX Adaptive, LDAC, LHDC/HWA, AAC, and SBC. Enjoy true CD-resolution audio from your phone or tablet. 

DAC Excellence for Every Format

The Burr‑Brown “True Native” DAC handles PCM up to 768 kHz, DSD512, DXD, and performs full MQA decoding via a 16‑core XMOS chip—all using ultra‑short signal paths for accurate playback. 

Femto‑Precise Clocking

An internal GMT femto‑precision clock paired with smart caching minimizes jitter. For studio-level timing, a 10 MHz external sync input lets you synchronize multiple devices. 

Customize Your Sound

Eight DSP options let you shape the sound to your taste:

• XSpace for immersive soundstage 
• XBass II for richer low-end 
• Four digital filters (Standard, Bit‑Perfect, Minimum, GTO) 

Flexible Setup & Controls

Mount it vertically or horizontally—its 2‑inch color display auto‑rotates. Use analog volume control for smooth adjustments. The new iFi Nexis app adds OTA updates and deeper control from your phone.
