Introducing the iFi iDSD Valkyrie: A New Era of Personalised Sound

The iFi iDSD Valkyrie is not just another portable DAC/Amp—it’s a revolution in personal audio. Designed for audiophiles who crave more than just raw power, the Valkyrie offers unparalleled customisation, allowing users to shape their own unique sound signature. With advanced digital and analogue processing, this flagship device brings professional studio tools straight to your fingertips, all in a sleek, portable form.

 

Studio-Grade Remastering at Your Fingertips

At the heart of the Valkyrie lies its DSD1024 Remastering capability, powered by a custom-coded FPGA. Similar to the mastering techniques used in top-tier studios, this feature allows users to enhance any audio file, improving resolution and reducing distortion. Whether you prefer pure DSD playback or want to remaster PCM files into ultra-high-resolution formats, the Valkyrie ensures your music sounds as rich and detailed as a professionally remastered recording.

 

Power and Precision with Next-Gen Technology

With its quad-DAC architecture, featuring four Burr-Brown DACs, the Valkyrie delivers an exceptional level of detail and accuracy. The 5,700mW peak output provides enough power to drive even the most demanding headphones, outperforming its predecessor, the iDSD Diablo 2, by 44%. Meanwhile, aptX Lossless and LDAC support guarantee high-fidelity wireless playback, making it a top choice for both wired and wireless audiophiles.

 

Immersive Sound Tailored to You

Beyond raw power, the Valkyrie offers a suite of analogue enhancements, including XBassII for deeper bass, XPresence for enhanced vocals, and XSpace for a more expansive soundstage. Unlike traditional DSP-based EQ adjustments, these features use switchable analogue circuitry, preserving the purity of your music. Combined with its 20,000mAh battery, delivering 18 hours of playback, the Valkyrie ensures an unmatched portable listening experience—wherever you go.
