ifi iDSD Valkyrie

The ifi iDSD Valkyrie offers superb performance and cutting-edge technical ability in a compact package at a very reasonable price.

With iFi’s bespoke DSD remastering algorithm built in, the Valkyrie gives you the tools to enhance your favorite tracks at the tips of your fingers. On top of this, the Valkyrie features JVCKENWOOD’s famous K2HD Technology, giving you various options to restore the warmth and emotion that is often lost in digital recordings thus bringing you closer to the original sound.

Unlike conventional DACs, the quad-DAC architecture under the Valkyries hood ensures a rich and immersive audio experience, delivering exceptional resolution, dynamic range, and low distortion. Whether you’re listening through high-end headphones or premium IEMs, every note comes through with stunning accuracy.

The Valkyrie is built around four Burr-Brown DACs in a hybrid multi-bit configuration, drawing from our long-standing experience with the legendary multi-bit Philips TDA1541A. 

This design enables the mixing of eight pairs of differential signals to capture the magic and impact of the iconic multi-bit chip-set, but with superior low-level linearity for breathtaking detail.

To minimise cross-talk, the analogue path sits on its own dedicated board, isolated from digital components. 

Power Meets Portability

Don’t let its size fool you, the Valkyrie delivers up to 5,700mW of power, driving even the most demanding headphones with ease. Whether at home or on the go, its 20,000mAh battery ensures up to 18 hours of playback, so your music never has to stop.

Next-Gen Features At a Glance:
  • DSD Remastering – Upgrade your audio with cutting-edge upscaling.
  • K2HD Technology – Restore warmth and richness to digital recordings.
  • Quad-DAC Architecture – Exceptional clarity and dynamic range.

Elevate Your Listening

Whether you’re a detail driven audiophile or just want your music to sound its absolute best, the iFi iDSD Valkyrie gives you the power to shape your sound like never before. From delicate nuances to thunderous bass, this device delivers an audio experience that is truly personal.

Cut the Cord. Keep the Quality. 

We’ve equipped Valkyrie with the latest Bluetooth technology, courtesy of Qualcomm’s flagship QCC518x chipset and the aptX Lossless codec.

Offering a maximum bitrate of 1,200kbps, aptX Lossless is the first and only Bluetooth codec currently capable of wirelessly sending CD-quality audio without losing data.

For those wanting high-res Bluetooth playback, the Valkyrie also supports 96kHz/24-bit audio via LDAC and LHDC/HWA codecs.

The iDSD Valkyrie has other innovative, next-generation technologies up its sleeve – including full xMEMS support.
