The iFi Audio iDSD GR 2 is the latest generation of portable DAC/headphone amplifiers. This compact powerhouse combines high-quality audio engineering with the latest wireless technologies, allowing you to enjoy exceptional sound quality anywhere. Whether you’re listening on the go, relaxing at home, or looking to upgrade a complete desktop setup, the GR 2 effortlessly adapts to your listening style.
With support for Bluetooth 5.4 and aptX Lossless, the GR 2 takes wireless listening to the next level. This technology enables full CD-quality transmission, ensuring that music retains its detail, dynamics, and natural character. It also supports high-quality codecs such as LDAC, aptX Adaptive, and LHDC, so you’re always guaranteed the best possible wireless connection.
A new feature of the GR 2 is Hybrid Power Mode. When the device is connected to an external power source, it initially draws power from the mains. The battery is only used when additional power is needed. As soon as the power demand decreases, the GR 2 automatically switches back to the external power source. This reduces the strain on the battery and ensures the device continues to perform optimally during long listening sessions.
Despite its compact size, the GR 2 offers an impressive range of connectivity options. USB-C, Bluetooth, and S/PDIF via optical or coaxial connections make it easy to connect a wide variety of sources. In addition, the GR 2 features both balanced and single-ended inputs and outputs, allowing it to function just as well as a portable headphone amplifier as part of a full-scale hi-fi system.
The iFi Nexis app provides access to advanced settings and customization options. The app also allows you to install firmware updates wirelessly, making new features and improvements easily available. This ensures that the GR 2 continues to evolve, even after purchase.
For the GR 2, iFi has completely redesigned the signal path. At its heart is the Burr-Brown PCM1795 DAC chip, combined with high-quality components and a fully balanced architecture. By eliminating unnecessary circuitry and employing Class A amplification, the result is a cleaner, more transparent, and more natural sound reproduction.
The built-in headphone amplifier delivers more than enough power for both sensitive in-ear monitors and demanding over-ear headphones. Thanks to the integrated iEMatch technology, even highly sensitive models remain free of unwanted noise, while the GR 2 simultaneously offers sufficient headroom for headphones with higher impedance.
With support for PCM up to 768 kHz, DSD512, and the latest Bluetooth codecs, the iDSD GR 2 is ready for virtually any modern audio format. The result is a versatile DAC/headphone amplifier that combines portability, ease of use, and high-quality audio performance in a single compact design.
For music lovers who want the same high sound quality both on the go and at home, the iFi Audio iDSD GR 2 is a truly comprehensive solution.
