iFi 0310005 Audio XDSD Gryphon Portable DAC/Amp - Black

The iFi 0310005 Audio xDSD Gryphon Black is a portable DAC/Amp that brings desktop-level digital and analogue performance to the desk or your pocket. It delivers hi-res audio and seamless connectivity so users can enjoy premium sound quality no matter how they connect.

Ultra‑resolution digital performance with True Native playback

Hi-res audio support is state-of-the-art with True Native playback. Thanks to the Burr-Brown DAC chip’s four-channel True Native design, PCM and DSD take separate pathways so both remain bit-perfect in their native form right through to analogue conversion.

• Hi-Res Audio: PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz, DSD up to DSD512, and DXD (single and double speed)
• Burr-Brown MultiBit digital stage for Ultra-Res conversion

Versatile connectivity for every source

The xDSD Gryphon Black offers Bluetooth for wireless convenience, USB for high-resolution digital audio, S/PDIF for optical and coaxial sources, and analogue inputs for traditional wired connections. This flexibility supports smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, CD players, and more.

• Digital sources via USB or S/PDIF
• Analogue sources via 4.4mm or 3.5mm inputs
• Separate Bluetooth, DAC, and amp stages, each optimised for performance

Hi-Res wireless Bluetooth

Built on the QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1 platform, the Gryphon supports aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, LDAC, HWA/LHDC, regular aptX, aptX Low Latency, AAC, and SBC. It combines QC5100 for reception, a Global Master Clock for jitter control, and Burr-Brown for DAC conversion.

• Bluetooth v5.1 with multiple hi-res and low-latency codecs
• Engineered for stable, low-jitter wireless playback

Power and control for demanding headphones

The PureWave analogue section delivers up to 1,000mW at 32 ohms with a maximum output of 6.7V, designed to handle serious headphones with ease. Connection options include 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm S-Balanced outputs, and iEMatch eliminates hiss with high-sensitivity IEMs.

• 1,000mW max output (balanced) and up to 6.7V
• 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm S-Balanced headphone outputs
• iEMatch for high-sensitivity earphones

Tailor the sound to your preference

The Gryphon includes iFi’s analogue enhancement tools and selectable digital filters for precise tuning. XBass II corrects missing bass response and offers selectable “Bass” and “Presence” options, while XSpace restores the expansive soundstage of recordings. Custom digital filters include Bit-Perfect, Standard, and GTO (Gibbs Transient Optimised).

• XBass II Bass and Presence options
• XSpace for a more open headphone presentation
• Bit-Perfect, Standard, or GTO digital filters

OLED interface with silent operation

The OLED display with iFi’s CyberSync operating system shows key information from format to battery life, and SilentLine technology ensures the display does not add noise into the system. The display can be set to off if preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can it charge and play at the same time?

  Yes. It can be charged while in use.

• Can it run from USB power instead of the internal battery?

  Yes. Connect via USB and use the Dual Port setting; the battery will charge to about 3.88V and then stabilize so the unit stays powered without cycling the battery.

• Does it support both S/PDIF coax and optical?

  Yes. It supports coax via a 3.5mm adapter and Toslink optical via a mini‑Toslink adapter on the same socket.

• How do I factory reset the xDSD Gryphon?

  With USB power unplugged, hold the XSpace/XBass button while turning on the unit to reset.

• Do I need to turn off the OLED for best sound?

  No. SilentLine technology decouples the OLED and its power supply from the main PCB to minimize noise.

• What is DXD?

  DXD is a 24‑bit/352.8kHz PCM format used for recording and editing DSD content. It offers higher analysis and dynamics than CD and SACD in studio production.

• What is XBass II with Bass & Presence?

  XBass II lets users fine‑tune bass response: “Bass” targets low bass, and “Presence” targets mid‑bass. Adjust to preference.
