The NEO iDSD 3 is built on strengthened foundations, with circuitry reworked at the component level - new operational amplifiers for lower distortion, upgraded polymer capacitors to reduce power supply ripple, and WIMA MKS2 caps for smoother high frequencies. The result is the most accurate sounding playback experience to date, while retaining iFi's signature musicality. The NEO iDSD 3 uses a custom DAC stage built around a Burr-Brown chipset, hand-picked for its natural musicality. This distinctive architecture handles PCM and DSD via separate pathways, preserving a bit-perfect signal throughout the conversion process. Data handling is carefully managed to ensure natural dynamics and exceptional low-level linearity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NEO iDSD 3 continues to uphold class-leading Bluetooth performance, supporting aptX Lossless, LDAC, LHDC, and more to ensure it remains at the pinnacle of wireless sound. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NEO iDSD 3 uses a custom DAC stage built around a Burr-Brown chipset, hand-picked by us for its natural musicality. Its distinctive architecture handles PCM and DSD via separate pathways, preserving a bit-perfect signal all the way through to analogue conversion. With PCM input, the six most significant bits are processed in true multi-bit fashion, for natural dynamics and slam. The rest are handled via delta- sigma processing for exceptional low-level linearity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital masters often miss the warmth and richness of their analog routes, leaving you with sound that's cold and lifeless. JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology extends high frequencies to restore natural harmonics, to bring back the depth, nuance, and musicality of the original performance. For those who prefer this restoration without altering the song's sample rate, 'K2' mode provides a similar effect while preserving the native resolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe NEO iDSD features iFi's signature analog processing to transform headphone listening into a captivating experience: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/ifi-neo-idsd3-xbass.webp?v=1758736624\" width=\"2048\" height=\"700\" alt=\"iFi NEO iDSD 3 xbass features\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBluetooth 5.4; USB-B 3.0; S\/PDIF Coaxial; S\/PDIF Optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSingle-ended RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e768kHz PCM; DSD512 (22.6 MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth Formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX, LDAC, LHDC\/HWA, AAC,\u003cbr\u003eSBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBalanced XLR (L\/R); Single-Ended RCA (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Output Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR ≤19.5V (variable); 4.4V (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA ≤10.V (variable); 2.2V (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Output Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXLR ≤102Ω; RCA ≤51Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSNR + DNR:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e≥120dB(A) @ -60dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD+N:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e≤0.0015% @ 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Outputs:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBalanced 4.4mm; Single-Ended 6.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Output Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.4mm ≥12.7V\/2,532mW @ 64Ω (RMS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.3mm ≥8.4V\/2,244mW @ 32Ω (RMS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Output Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e≤1Ω; ≤7Ω when iEMatch enabled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e8.4 x 6.2 x 1.6”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiFi Audio NEO iDSD 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiFi iPower2 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5mm to 6.3mm Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA patch cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-A to USB-B cable\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/media.ifi-audio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/744-NEO-iDSD-3-QSG_op.pdf\" title=\"iFi NEO iDSD 3 quick start guide\"\u003eQuick Start guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ifi audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62862069891231,"sku":null,"price":1349.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5532\/6111\/files\/ifi-neo-idsd3-front-noteworthyaudio-1000x_69667550-2206-420a-89ba-fc02f2a278f7.jpg?v=1788899109","url":"https:\/\/altitudoaudio.ca\/products\/idsd3-dac-headphone-amplifier","provider":"Altitudo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
