iFi Audio Micro iDSD Black Label Portable Amplifier/DAC - Black

The micro iDSD Black Label is iFi's top-rated desktop DAC and headphone amplifier. The sound of your music just got even better.

iFi Audio is known for loading up their well-built gear with lots of audio features. They often seem to consider every possible listening scenario and gear combination. And the micro iDSD Black Label takes this "kitchen sink" mentality one step further. This compact device can be used in a desktop setting or on-the-go as an external DAC, headphone amp, or even a preamp. When connected to your phone or laptop via USB, this battery-powered DAC overrides the audio circuitry within your device. iFi's top-notch audio technology takes over. The built-in headphone amp ensures your headphones have enough power to perform their best. The micro iDSD also doubles as a stereo preamplifier, with inputs for handling your digital music sources, plus RCA outputs for connecting directly to an amplifier.
