NEO iDSD 2 | Set yourself a new standard in desktop DAC/Amp performance.
The NEO iDSD 2 fuses purist internal design with the freedom to refine and customise your listening experience, and aptX Lossless Bluetooth lets you cut the cord without compromise.
It’s head-fi. It’s desk-fi. And it’s hi-fi.
The NEO iDSD 2 is a versatile 3-in-1 DAC/Amp designed for CAS audiophiles. It works as a Head-Fi DAC/Amp with headphones, a pure DAC with an integrated amp, or a DAC/Preamp for active speakers and power amps. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.4, it supports aptX Lossless, the only Bluetooth codec that streams CD-quality audio without quality loss.
It’s new and Lossless.
The NEO iDSD 2, powered by Qualcomm’s new QCC518x Bluetooth chip and qualified for Bluetooth 5.4, supports all major Bluetooth formats: aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX, LDACTM, LHDC/HWA, AAC, and SBC. With aptX Lossless, it offers an impressive 1,200kbps bitrate, streaming true CD-quality audio without lossy compression, ensuring a superior listening experience.
Stand by you. No matter up or down.
The NEO iDSD 2 offers versatile positioning for Desk-Fi or Hi-Fi setups, with a 2-inch colour display that automatically rotates to match horizontal or vertical orientation. For Desk-Fi, you can position it vertically to save space. The NEO iDSD 2 also features an analogue volume control, delivering higher audio quality than digital controls.
GMT Femto-Precision Clock. Upgradable.
The NEO iDSD 2 features an internal GMT femto-precision clock with a smart storage cache, creating an advanced jitter reduction system for cleaner, more accurate sound. For those with an external clock, the 10MHz External Sync Clock input allows you to synchronize the NEO iDSD 2 with other devices like CD players or network streamers, enhancing clock signal accuracy.
This rare feature in its price range ensures exceptional performance, whether using the internal clock or an external sync clock.
More than new features. Enhanced circuitry.
The NEO iDSD 2’s enhanced PureWave circuit design features a balanced dual-mono topology and short signal paths, ensuring superb linearity, low noise, and minimal distortion.
This results in an impressive SNR >120dB(A), DNR of -120dB(A), and THD+N <0.0015%, achieving performance comparable to higher-priced DACs.
5x more headphone output power
With a maximum headphone output power of 5,551 mW (@ 32Ω), it outperforms even some dedicated headphone amplifiers, making them sweat. It features Auto iEMatch to reduce annoying hiss from high-sensitivity headphones without losing any dynamic range.
The NEO iDSD 2 is not only a powerhouse, but it’s also tailored for your ears. The newly added analogue processing modes, XSpace and XBass II, along with the four digital filters, allow you to finetune the sound.
