iFi iDSD Phantom DAC & Headphone Amplifier

The iDSD PHANTOM unites a reference-class DAC, ultra-res streamer and a powerful head amp into one device - a trinity of iFi innovation, engineered for complete musical immersion.

Vanish into the Music.
Step into a world where the boundaries between you and your music simply disappear.

A triumph of form and function, the iDSD PHANTOM unites a reference-class DAC, ultra-resolution network streamer, and powerful headphone amp trinity born from decades of iFi innovation.

Beneath its exterior lies professional-grade technologies that compel the listener to become the master of their music: DSD Remastering up to DSD2048 and K2HD Technology offer a level of sonic control unattainable outside of the world's finest mastering studios, while XBass Pro, XSpace Pro, digital filters, and real-time circuitry switching act as the final brushstrokes on your sonic canvas.

Bring the studio home and disappear into the performance.

Three Voices. One PHANTOM.
The PHANTOM's user-switchable circuitry stages let you choose between three distinct sonic characters - each a different way to disappear into the music.
Select your sonic signature:

• Solid-State - discrete J-FET design for lightning-fast, distortion-free precision.
  
• Tube - NOS, hand-matched GE5670 valves for warmth and liquid smoothness.
  
• Tube+ - lowered loop-gain for an enhanced 2nd harmonic, adding body and presence.

Fidelity-Driven Design.
At the heart of the PHANTOM are four Burr-Brown DACs in a hybrid multi-bit configuration, drawing inspiration from our long-standing experience with the legendary multi-bit Philips TDA1541A.

First introduced in the Pro iDSD, this interleaved design captures the magic and impact of the iconic multi-bit chipset, but with superior low-level linearity for breathtaking detail.

Cue Up Qobuz.
The PHANTOM features our ultra-resolution 768kHz/DSD512 streaming engine, based around a new OS - meaning expanded native support, including Qobuz Connect.

It also supports Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, AirPlay 2, Roon, NAA, DLNA, UPnP and more, ensuring your music flows effortlessly from virtually any source.

The World Premiere of DSD2048.
The PHANTOM's Remastering Engine brings studio-grade upconversion to your home - now, for the first time, reaching the unprecedented clarity of DSD2048.

In Normal mode, native DSD signals pass directly to the DAC while PCM signals go through a user-selected digital filter. Switch to Remastered mode for upconversion to DSD512, DSD1024, or the new pinnacle - DSD2048.

DSD Remastering deepens resolution and minimises distortion, unlocking the level of fidelity once reserved for the world's most prestigious mastering suites.

Studio-Inspired Restoration.
Digital masters often lose the warmth and richness of their analogue origins, leaving you with music that's cold and clinical.

JVCKENWOOD's K2HD Technology restores the depth, nuance, and musicality of the original performance by reintroducing harmonic content lost during the production process.

For those who want the sonic benefits without changing the sample rate, the "K2" mode offers similar enhancement without upsampling.

Feel the Thunder.
XBass Pro is our analogue variable shelving EQ that boosts low frequencies without clouding the midrange.

It's ideal for open-back headphones, filling in the low-end that's often missing from their presentation.

Choose from three XBass settings - 10Hz, 20Hz, or 40Hz - or bypass it entirely for absolute signal purity.
