“If the original Diablo headphone amp from iFi Audio was a breath of fresh air, this second-gen model will blow you away. Upgrades include a mode for MEMS earphones, Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Lossless, and the latest implementation of iFi Audio's PureWave balanced circuit design, plus a new metallic-red chassis with grooves to support the Diablo 2's desktop stand at different angles. Flexibility impresses, both in terms of functionality (the Diablo 2 will serve as an external DAC/preamp if desired) and headphone compatibility. Use iFi Audio's iEMatch technology with sensitive in-ears, and be rest assured this amp's 4800mAh battery can drive demanding headphones with ease, aided by 'Turbo' and 'Nitro' modes.”
