xDSD Gryphon Black

On the desk or in your pocket, be ready for anything.

Packed with award-winning features and functionality, the xDSD Gryphon takes the best tech from our desktop DACs to create a portable DAC/Amp that can rise to any challenge.

Hi-Res Audio: PCM 768kHz and DSD512

Hi-res audio support is state-of-the-art with True Native® playback. It handles PCM data to 32-bit/768kHz, DSD up to DSD512 and single and double speed DXD. Thanks to the Burr-Brown DAC chip's four-channel True Native design, PCM and DSD take separate pathways - this enables DSD, as well as PCM, to remain 'bit-perfect' in its native form right through to analogue conversion.

Bluetooth, USB, S/PDIF and Analogue Inputs

The xDSD Gryphon offers versatile connectivity options to cater to every audiophile's needs. With Bluetooth for wireless convenience, USB for high-resolution digital audio, S/PDIF for optical and coaxial sources, and analogue inputs for traditional wired connections, the Gryphon ensures seamless compatibility with a wide range of devices. This flexibility makes it a perfect companion for smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, CD players, and more, delivering premium sound quality no matter how you connect.

4 Digital Filters, XBass II and XSpace Processing

The XBass II® analogue bass correction system corrects for the missing headphone/speaker bass response.

XSpace is the iFi analogue signal improvement circuitry to get that 'music' back outside of your head for much better headphone enjoyment.

1,000mW Max. Output

The xDSD Gryphon is an extraordinarily powerful portable amplifier, capable of delivering up to 1,000mW from its balanced outputs

Fantastic Beasts. Here's where you find them.

Portable DAC/amps often compromise on either the digital or analogue section-but not the xDSD Gryphon. Like its mythical namesake, it combines two beasts in one: an Ultra-Res digital stage powered by Burr-Brown MultiBit and a PureWave analogue section delivering 1,000mW. Designed to handle serious headphones with ease.

Well Connected

It has separate Bluetooth + DAC + amp stages: each optimised for maximum performance, Digital sources via USB, S/PDIF or Bluetooth Analogue sources via 4.4mm or 3.5mm inputs

Brilliant Bluetooth. Hi-Res Wireless.

The xDSD Gryphon sets the standard for wireless connectivity with the latest QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1, supporting cutting-edge formats like aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, LDAC™, HWA/LHDC, regular aptX, aptX Low Latency, AAC, and even SBC.

Built on iFi's advanced digital platform, it combines QC5100 for reception, a Global Master Clock for jitter control, and Burr-Brown for DAC conversion.

Balance of Power

The xDSD Gryphon's PureWave amplification delivers 1,000mW at 32 Ohms with a powerful max output of 6.7V, effortlessly driving high-impedance headphones.

  • 4.4mm Balanced: Perfect for balanced playback.
  • 3.5mm S-Balanced: Optimized for single-ended headphones.
  • iEMatch: Eliminates hiss for high-sensitivity IEMs.

Plenty of power and versatility for every type of headphone.

OLED. Seen but not heard.

The OLED display and iFi'sCyberSync operating system combined, usher in a whole new world of user enjoyment - all information from format to battery life is there. Just as importantly, SilentLine technology means the display does not add noise into the system. It can even be set to off if preferred.

Tailored to your ears

iEMatch: Eliminates hiss from high-sensitivity headphones while preserving dynamic range.

Custom Digital Filters: Choose from Bit-Perfect, Standard, or GTO (Gibbs Transient Optimised) for precise sound tuning via the on-screen menu.

XSpace: Restores the expansive soundstage of your recordings.

XBass II: Brings back deep bass and upper midrange presence for open-backed headphones or bass-heavy tracks, with selectable 'Bass' and 'Presence' options.
