Product description
Heavenly Sound.
Devilish Power.
The Diablo 2, dressed in Devilish Red, succeeds the Diablo-X, boasting a slew of enhancements such as increased headphone output power, support for lossless Bluetooth codecs, xMEMS technology, iEMatch, a USB-C input, improved circuitry, and more.
PiezoMEMS Explained
Diabolical Innovation. Shattering Boundaries.
The Diablo 2 is the world’s first portable DAC/Amp with Bluetooth 5.4, it supports aptX Lossless, the only Bluetooth codec for lossless CD-quality streaming without sacrificing audio quality.
The predecessor of Diablo 2 pioneered support for xMEMS solid-state micro-speaker technology, enhancing IEM and headphone performance with several unique benefits:
A 15µsec mechanical response, 150 times faster than typical drivers.
A 2° flat phase response for precise sound and precise +/- 1° phase matching for enhanced spatial sound accuracy.
A speaker diaphragm made of silicon, 95 times stiffer than plastic, reducing speaker break-up and delivering clearer mid-high frequencies.
Due to the high voltage requirements of xMEMS, iFi has partnered with them to integrate this technology into the new Diablo 2. It utilises the piezoelectric effect to create paper-thin solid-state speakers by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, exciting an integrated silicon membrane to generate powerful acoustic sound waves for enhanced audio output.
The Diablo 2 offers three power modes:
Normal for IEMs
Turbo for mid-sensitivity headphones
Nitro for demanding headphones
Tailored for High-Sensitivity Headphones and IEMs
iEMatch removes background noise and increases the usable volume range.
Accomodating a variety of connections
6.3mm SE socket and a 4.4mm balanced output. Additionally, a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter is included.
The Diablo 2 comes with four wings
You can customise to position it horizontally, like a desktop DAC/amp, or vertically to save space.
A new Volume Lock switch next to the volume control, preventing accidental adjustments.
Top Class Components
OptimaLoop
Amplifier 'negative feedback' controls gain, but distort sound; our multi-path system optimizes it.
Purewave
PureWave is a new, balanced, symmetrical dual-mono topology with short, direct signal paths.
DirectDrive
DirectDrive equals a direct signal path which means less signal degradation.
