Portable DACs/amplifiers tend to be compromised because they focus on a great digital OR analog section. But not both. The xDSD Gryphon is different. Like their mythical namesake, they are two beasts in one. From the Ultra-Res digital stage that uses Burr-Brown MultiBit at the core to the PureWave analog power section that pumps out 1,000 mW and everything in between, it takes some serious headphones to tame the Gryphon. Using the latest QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1 as a starting point for wireless connectivity, the Gryphon xDSD is ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest formats. Not only this, but the above is on the iFi digital platform, where each section is different. So, QC5100 for receive > Global Master Clock for jitter > Burr-Brown for DAC conversion. More effort, but that's why our wireless gives wired a run for its money. The xDSD Gryphon uses our PureWave amplification circuitry. It has 1.000mW at 32 Ohms. With a huge maximum output of 6.7v, use the high impedance headphones because the Gryphon won't sweat when driving them.
