Manufacturer's Description — ifi Audio

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.


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-PerfectStandard, 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.
