Key Features
5,180mW Max. Output
The iDSD Diablo 2 is an extraordinarily powerful portable headphone amplifier, capable of delivering up to 5,180mW of maximum output from its balanced output.
aptX Lossless Bluetooth
The iDSD Diablo 2 is equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, powered by a Qualcomm QCC518x series chipset.
With aptX Lossless, you can enjoy CD-quality audio (44.1kHz, 16-bit) delivered with zero data loss. Additionally, the Diablo 2 supports Hi-Res audio up to 96kHz, thanks to compatibility with LDAC and LDHC/HWA codecs.
Hi-Res Audio: PCM 768kHz and DSD512
Hi-Res True Native® playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD512, PCM768 and DXD768.
xMEMS Compatibility
xMEMS (microelectromechanical system) drivers represent a revolutionary leap in audio driver technology, offering excellent precision and consistency. Unlike traditional drivers that rely on dynamic or balanced armature mechanisms, xMEMS uses silicon-based manufacturing, therefore allowing for ultra-fast transient response, low distortion, and enhanced detail retrieval.
With xMEMS compatibility, the iDSD Diablo 2 is optimized to extract every nuance and subtlety these advanced drivers can produce. Whether you're listening to intricate acoustic arrangements or high-energy electronic tracks, the Diablo 2 ensures seamless synergy with xMEMS-powered earphones or headphones.
“It’s got a NOS fogger system and a T4 Turbo, Dominic.”
Struggling with your power-hungry headphones? Press the NOS button, and our Diablo goes into beast mode. The Diablo 2 offers three power modes: Normal for IEMs, Turbo for mid-sensitivity headphones, and Nitro for demanding headphones, boasting a 19.2V maximum output. A switch underneath activates iFi’s iEMatch technology. This feature is tailored for high-sensitivity headphones and earphones, greatly benefiting your in-ear monitors (IEMs). It removes background noise and increases the usable volume range.
Wings of Inferno.
The Diablo 2 comes with four wings that you can customise to position it horizontally, like a desktop DAC/amp, or vertically to save space. Additionally, it features twenty-two rails for improved cooling performance, with eight of these rails being compatible with the Diablo wings, enabling desktop stand use.
Shattering Boundaries
Due to the high voltage requirements of xMEMS, iFi has partnered with them to integrate this technology into the new Diablo 2. It utilises the piezoelectric effect to create paper-thin solid-state speakers by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, exciting an integrated silicon membrane to generate powerful acoustic sound waves for enhanced audio output.

Devil in the details.
When examining the Diablo 2’s front panel, you’ll find a new Volume Lock switch next to the volume control, preventing accidental adjustments during transport.
At the back panel’s left side, there’s a switch for mode selection and Bluetooth pairing. On the right side, two USB-C ports streamline cable management—one for audio and the other for charging.
Sound So Moving. Even the Devil May Cry.
Diablo 2 features PureWave, Servoless DirectDrive, OptimaLoop, and Advanced Jitter Reduction Technology, delivering exceptionally pure, detailed, and emotionally touching sound, these technologies elevate performance to unparalleled heights, even challenging desktop DAC/amps.
PureWave’s full balanced dual-mono circuitry elevates clarity by separating channels and reducing noise. DirectDrive removes the need for coupling capacitors, ensuring purer audio. OptimaLoop employs tailored multiple feedback paths in amplifiers, refining gain control and reducing distortion.
Ruling all Bluetooth codec and music formats.
The Diablo 2 features the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, supporting the new aptX Lossless codec, which provides a maximum bitrate of 1,200kbps. In comparison, aptX Adaptive has a maximum bitrate of 420kbps, while LDAC offers a higher bitrate of 990kbps.dual-mono circuitry elevates clarity by separating channels and reducing noise.
