iFi Audio, a pioneer in the world of high-fidelity audio technology, proudly presents the iDSD Valkyrie, their flagship portable DAC/Amp. Designed for those seeking more than just power and precision, the Valkyrie is ideal for audiophiles looking to create their own unique sonic signature.
The Valkyrie combines cutting-edge 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, an impressive 5,700mW peak output, lossless Bluetooth support and 18 hours of battery life, the iDSD Valkyrie is unrivaled in the world of portable audio devices.
The iDSD Valkyrie isn’t just powerful; it’s also highly personal. Designed for listeners seeking depth and musicality, it delivers mastering-grade tools previously reserved for top studios, now at the touch of a button. The Valkyrie delivers an experience where musicality and precision come together, allowing users to discover and experience their own sound.
Featuring a custom-made DSD Remastering algorithm powered by a custom-coded FPGA, the Valkyrie delivers an unparalleled level of audio distortion. Users can choose between the ‘Normal’ setting, which sends DSD signals directly to the DAC and PCM signals through a user-selected digital filter, or the ‘Remastering’ mode, which allows audio to be remastered to DSD512 or DSD1024.
Inspired by the mastering process in professional studios, this advanced technology improves audio quality by increasing resolution, reducing distortion and delivering richer, more detailed sound.
At the heart of the Valkyrie is JVCKENWOOD’s acclaimed K2HD Technology. This technology restores the warmth and emotion of analog recordings, ensuring that digital audio never sounds cold or clinical. The Valkyrie offers two modes: ‘K2’ mode, which retains the original resolution of the files, and ‘K2HD’ mode, which enhances the audio quality for a fuller, more natural listening experience.
The Valkyrie offers six digital filters, allowing users to tailor the sound to their liking. Choose from Apodising, GTO, Bit Perfect, Standard, Minimum and Transient Aligned filters for a completely customized listening experience.
In addition to the digital adjustment capabilities, the Valkyrie features advanced analog processing features such as XBassII, XPresence and XSpace. These features utilize switchable analog circuitry instead of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), resulting in superior audio quality and natural frequency adjustments.
The iDSD Valkyrie’s quad-DAC architecture, featuring four Burr-Brown DACs, captures the magic and detail of 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 delivers exceptional power, capable of driving even the most demanding headphones with ease. This makes the Valkyrie ideal for audiophiles who want to take the power and performance of their home system anywhere.
The Valkyrie supports the latest xMEMS speaker technology, which pushes the boundaries of headphone performance. xMEMS speakers provide faster and more precise sound reproduction, reduce phase shift and deliver incredible detail.
Powered by 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 can be fully charged in just 2.5 hours, making it perfect for long trips or everyday use.
With its advanced technology, personalization options and impressive performance, the iDSD Valkyrie is the ultimate choice for audio enthusiasts looking to take their portable audio experience to the next level.
