VSystem

Reference DAC and Headphone Amplifier

High-performance desktop DAC and headphone amplifier designed to deliver exceptional precision, power and musicality in one compact device. Combining the latest iFi innovations, it offers detailed playback from both wired and wireless sources.

Rewired for Realism

The Amplifier features upgraded circuitry with new operational amplifiers, improved polymer capacitors and WIMA MKS2 components for lower distortion and smoother high frequencies.

K2 and K2HD Technology

Developed in collaboration with JVCKENWOOD, K2 and K2HD processing restores harmonic information lost during digital encoding, bringing back depth, nuance and musical emotion.

Powerful Headphone Amplifier

Derived from the Diablo 2 amplification stage, the NEO iDSD 3 delivers up to ≥5,551mW peak power, capable of driving a wide range of headphones with ease.

High-Resolution Wireless Audio

The advanced Bluetooth module supports aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, LDAC and LHDC/HWA, delivering high-quality wireless audio streaming.

Burr-Brown DAC Architecture

The custom DAC stage uses a Burr-Brown chipset with separate signal paths for PCM and DSD to preserve bit-perfect conversion and natural dynamics.
