iFi Audio iDSD Valkyrie

iFi Audio, a pioneer in the world of high-fidelity audio technology, proudly presents the iDSD Valkyrie, their flagship portable DAC/Amp. The Valkyrie is designed for those looking for more than just power and precision; it is ideal for audio enthusiasts who want to form their own unique sound signature.

The Valkyrie combines advanced technology with exceptional personalization options. It offers features such as K2HD Technology, DSD Remastering, six digital filters and iFi's signature analog processing, all packed into a compact and portable design. With a quadDAC architecture, impressive peak output of 5,700mW, lossless Bluetooth support and 18 hours of battery life, the iDSD Valkyrie is unmatched in the world of portable audio devices.

Studio-quality Sound, Personalized for You

The iDSD Valkyrie is not only powerful; it is also highly personal. Designed for listeners seeking depth and musicality, it delivers mastering-grade tools previously available only to top studios, now instantly at the touch of a button. The Valkyrie offers an experience where musicality and precision come together, allowing users to discover and live their own sound.

DSD1024 Remastering

With its custom DSD Remastering algorithm, powered by a specially coded FPGA, the Valkyrie offers an unparalleled level of audio distortion. Users can choose the "Normal" setting, where DSD signals go directly to the DAC and PCM signals are routed through a user-selected digital filter, or the "Remastering" mode, which allows audio to be remastered to DSD512 or DSD1024.

This advanced technology, inspired by the master process in professional studios, improves audio quality by increasing resolution, reducing distortion and delivering richer, more detailed sound.

K2HD Technology

At the heart of the Valkyrie is JVCKENWOOD's renowned K2HD Technology. This technology restores the warmth and emotion of analog recordings, making digital audio never sound cold or clinical. The Valkyrie offers two modes: the "K2" mode, which retains the original resolution of files, and the "K2HD" mode, which enhances audio quality for a fuller, more natural listening experience.

Personalized Audio Experience

The Valkyrie offers six digital filters, allowing users to tune the sound to their liking. Choose from Apodising, GTO, Bit Perfect, Standard, Minimum and Transient Aligned filters for a fully customized listening experience.

In addition to its digital customization capabilities, the Valkyrie has advanced analog processing features, such as XBassII, XPresence and XSpace. These features use switchable analog circuitry instead of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), ensuring superior audio quality and natural frequency adjustments.

• XBassII: Recovers lost bass frequencies for open-back headphones and enhances low frequencies for closed-back headphones.
• XPresence: Brings the midrange and vocals forward for a more intimate, immersive sound experience.
• XSpace: Expands sound reproduction, providing a wider and more spacious listening environment, especially with closed-back headphones.

Unmatched Power and Sound Quality

The iDSD Valkyrie's quad-DAC architecture, featuring four Burr-Brown DACs, captures the magic and detail of its legendary multi-bit chipsets. Combined with the latest Qualcomm chipset for lossless Bluetooth support, the Valkyrie delivers CD-quality audio via aptX Lossless and Hi-Res playback via LDAC.

With a peak output of 5,700mW and 2,258mW RMS, the Valkyrie offers exceptional power, powering even the most demanding headphones effortlessly. This makes the Valkyrie ideal for audio enthusiasts who want to take the power and performance of their home system anywhere.

Next-Gen Audio Technology

The Valkyrie supports the latest xMEMS speaker technology, which pushes the boundaries of headphone performance. xMEMS speakers offer faster and more precise sound reproduction, reduce phase shift and deliver incredible detail.

Long-term Strength

With four 5,000mAh lithium-ion batteries, the Valkyrie offers a total battery capacity of 20,000mAh, good for up to 18 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. Thanks to fast charging via USB-C, the Valkyrie is fully charged in just 2.5 hours, making it perfect for long trips or everyday use.
