iFi xDSD, a step forward

The iFi xDSD is the new DAC from the Asian brand that aims to become the reference for the most advanced and affordable portable audio.

Its main asset is the integration of Bluetooth connectivity with CD quality and decoding formats such as PCM768/DSD512 and MQA. In addition, its amplification stage makes the xDSD a true giant of power and good sound.

Maximum quality via Bluetooth

The iFi xDSD is one of the few DACs on the market today that integrates full resolution bluetooth connection.

Through your Apple or Android smartphone, your Hi-Res DAP, TV or PC you can send music to your headphones in CD quality. So much so, that the iFi Audio xDSD is prepared to support AAC and aptX codecs, a great advance over traditional Bluetooth.

Total yield per cable

Regarding its wired performance, the iFi xDSD has a USB A type OTG/CCK connector that offers the best high-resolution audio performance for all types of devices, decoding DSD at 22.57MHz and 768kHz/32bit PCM.

On the other hand, the traditional SPDIF/coaxial and 3.5mm TOSLINK inputs allow to give a new life to the oldest DaP and players reaching 192khZ/24 BIT levels.

Without a doubt, it is clear that the iFi xDSD is a giant of high resolution sound.

Musicality as a flag

For the iFi xDSD there is no such thing as aural fatigue, because inside, it houses the most advanced components to immerse you in your favorite songs.

Its DAC section is composed of a Burr-Brown multibit DSD1793 chip that emits a realistic sound full of musicality. All in all, very pleasant to listen to.

As for the rest of the components, the xDSDD is built with a precision clock and memory system aimed at eliminating jitter and achieving the best listening experience.

Thus, the xDSD is packed with the technology it needs.

MQA format is a reality

The xDSD is ready to support Tidal's MQA format and transmit the music with the quality that the artist intends at the time of recording.

Needless to say, thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity, the xDSD is compatible with streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal itself.

With S-Balanced output

Thanks to the growth in the use of balanced cable, the iFi xDSD features an exclusive technology called S-Balanced, which reduces distortion and noise up to 3 times more (9dB) than traditional balanced protocols.

This is where you can get the most out of your music regardless of the genre you are listening to.

As for the traditional 3.5mm output, with xDSD, crosstalk and distortion are reduced by 50%.

3D+ and XBASS+, old acquaintances

iFi always conceives its products around the technologies developed by themselves and for this reason, the xDSD also has 3D+ and xBass+ to its credit.

With 3D+ you will be able to enlarge the musical scene and a 3D effect that will allow you to locate the origin of the instruments as if it were a live concert.

The XBass, on the other hand, is designed to boost the bass frequencies and deliver full-bodied, punchy and punchy bass.

Can handle anything

In its amplification stage, the xDSD also wins points as it is capable of moving from the most undemanding in-ear headphones to the hardest on the market.

Its special Cyberdrive amplifier incorporates the best elements to push the volume of your headphones to the limit.

Don't run out of battery

Also with Cyberdrive technology, the xDSD uses a micro USB power input that is compatible with smartphones and without consuming the phone's battery.

With a 3.8v 2,000mAh lithium polymer structure, it offers 12% more capacity than batteries of the same size.

Its duration will be determined by the type of headset used; however, the xDSD reaches up to 10h for SPDIF, 8h for Bluetooth and 6h for USB.

Satisfactorio Sin ninguna queja con respecto a la velocidad del envío.
El detalle de la galleta y la carta de presentación de Zococity hace especial el desempaquetado. :)
El producto tiene una elegante presentación así como sobria. Lo de
"imán para huellas" no creo que sea para tanto porque, aparte de que incluye un estuche suave, no lo toqueteas mucho.
Para mí, las patitas de goma que tiene debajo son una gran comodidad cuando lo usas en la mesa y te mueves algo con los auriculares puestos.
La rueda analógica de volumen es una gozada manejarla, en comparación con botones, además de que, el hecho de que puedas regularlo en pequeños o grandes pasos, según la velocidad con la que la gires, hace muy intuitivo controlar este.
Una de las razones por las que escogí este producto y no, por ejemplo, su primo ifi Black Label, es por tener Bluetooth y porque automatiza funciones: te despreocupas, por ejemplo, de si conectas unos auriculares de mucha o poca sensibilidad, de si usas cable balanceado o no, de si estresas mucho la batería si la cargas la mientras escuchas música...
No es una compra para hacer a la ligera debido a su precio próximo a los 500 € y, el hecho de que fuera compatible con todo tipo de códecs, también pesó en mi decisión. Sé que actualmente lo tengo infrautilizado puesto que mis auriculares no son de alta impedancia, pero lo he adquirido con vista a futuras adquisiciones; esa forma de pensar me ha hecho aprovechar, aún hoy, productos comprados en el pasado.
Aunque su reducido tamaño y peso, similar al de una cajetilla de tabaco, lo hace portátil, y no se calienta incluso aunque lo lleves metido en su funda, es necesario adquirir un cable OTG flexible (en el caso de los Android) para evitar microcortes en el sonido mientras caminas (no fue mi caso debido a la rigidez de mi corto cable idem y, por eso, de momento utilizo el aparato sólo en el hogar).
Otra de las razones por las que escogí este aparato es la posibilidad de enfatizar los graves o la espacialidad de sonido con el botón dedicado para ello. La variación es sutil, y más notoria cuanto mayor sea la calidad de la fuente reproducida, pero se consigue que el sonido siga siendo limpio y agradable. Dado lo analítico del reproducido por mis auriculares actuales, ese énfasis en los graves se agradece en muchas canciones, y también el efecto 3D, cuando estoy jugando o viendo alguna serie/película.

He conocido esta tienda Valenciana a través de su canal de YouTube, el cual recomiendo.
