With cable connection, the xDSD uses iFi Audio's original S-Balanced amplification stage that delivers pure musical enjoyment to in-ear-monitors or headphones.
To enable limitless compatibility with smartphones and no extra power draw from the smartphone’s battery, the xDSD uses a Micro-USB power input which avoids draining the source devices battery.

Higher realms of portable music.
Concerted Technologies
To deliver a truly musical performance every technical aspect must be present and correct. From the Burr-Brown multibit DSD1793 DAC Chipset to deliver a realistic, musical sound to the femto precision GMT Clock and intelligent memory buffer system.
Perfected for MQA
Tidal with MQA is defining the future of High-Resolution streaming audio. Ready for MQA out of the box, the xDSD also supports beyond full Hi-Res Audio with 11.289MHz DSD and 384kHz/32Bit PCM. Simply connect to Tidal and check the options to stream MQA ‘like the artist intended’ as the MQA team say.
S-Balanced
The iFi exclusive S-Balanced technology delivers the maximum performance from single-ended and balanced headphones alike. Compared to standard balanced circuitry, noise and distortion are lowered by up to 3-fold (9dB). Even with non-balanced headphones crosstalk and related distortion are reduced by 50%.
3D+ Matrix
Most recordings are made for speakers (not headphones). This produces what is technically known as ‘in-head localisation’ as if the music plays inside your head. Which is unnatural and frankly obnoxious. The analogue-signal based 3D+ circuit restores the correct sense of placement that the artist is in the room and outside your head.
Xbass+
Many otherwise excellent and expensive open back headphones lack low bass. XBass+ restores deep, clean and tight bass and puts the ‘meat’ back into the music, without muddying up the midrange. Now EDM or Drum & Bass really plumb the depths of the bass notes.
Pure Line Out
Whether at home or in the car, the Line Out mode means the volume control, 3D+ Matrix and X-Bass+ are bypassed and the output stage is configured specifically for the best line operation, avoiding ‘double-amping’.
Cyberdrive Amplifier
The Cyberdrive headphone amplifier stage places all parameters of the fully analogue system under digital control for a ‘best of both worlds’ scenario. The Cyberdrive design incorporates the iFi exclusive OV4627 ultra-low noise FET input Op-Amp and W990VST digitally controlled stepped attenuator to deliver a new level of sound quality.
Advanced Battery System
xDSD uses a new 3.8V/2,200mAh Lithium Polymer battery that offers 12% greater actual capacity in the same size package. Depending on the headphones and the connection used, playback times of up to 10 hours for S/PDIF, 8 hours for Bluetooth and 6 hours for USB are achieved.
