          WITH UNIQUE ANALOGUE CIRCUIT, PUREWAVE AND OPTIMALOOP TECHNOLOGY

          Empowered with balanced, differential analogue circuit design, iDSD Diablo minimizes noise and cross-talks inside the signal path by dividing right and left channels. To add to this, iDSD Diablo comes with PureWave technology. This technology offers refinements to existing balanced and symmetrical dual mono technology by adding quick, direct signal paths. Leaving the traditional negative feedback, Diablo features all-new OptimaLoop to correct negatives to positives.

          IFI'S VERY OWN FORMULA 1 WITH CRUCIAL COMPONENTS FOR UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE

          The mix of a high-bandwidth power supply circuit and independent linear regulation offers exceptional PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) performance. The headphone amp stage has Panasonic OS-CON capacitors that provide 2320uF between the capacitors and IC regulators. The ultra-low-noise regulator along with passive filtering reduces harmonic distortion and jitter. Not just that, the dedicated regulation and multi-stage filtering help USB input stage, while the microprocessor control circuitry has its unique regulation.
