The USB Audio DAC that reveals the music
Discover the true sound of your music with the NEO iDSD 3 from iFi Audio, a high-end USB audio DAC that embodies the perfect combination of power, musicality and innovation. Designed for discerning music lovers, this digital-to-analogue converter transforms your digital sources into rich, deep and incredibly detailed sound, while preserving the emotion and energy of each performance. With advanced technologies such as K2HD to restore lost harmonics and massive amplification inherited from the Diablo series, the NEO iDSD 3 redefines what a modern DAC can offer on a daily basis, whether listening through headphones, integrated into a hi-fi system or streaming high-resolution audio wirelessly.
Exceptional sound fidelity
The NEO iDSD 3 is much more than just a USB DAC. Its Burr-Brown chip-based architecture handles PCM and DSD streams separately for bit-perfect conversion, ensuring open, dynamic and natural reproduction. With support for high-resolution files up to PCM 768 kHz and DSD512, every nuance of your favourite recordings is revealed with impressive clarity, reproducing the music as it was intended in the studio.
Uncompromising power and versatility
With an output power of up to 5,551 mW, the NEO iDSD 3 is capable of effortlessly driving even the most demanding headphones, while offering comprehensive connectivity: USB-B 3.0, Bluetooth 5.4 (including aptX Lossless for CD-quality wireless listening), coaxial, optical and RCA analogue inputs. Its 3-in-1 design allows it to simultaneously act as a DAC, preamplifier and headphone amplifier, integrating seamlessly into any audio environment, from the office to the hi-fi system.
