It is designed for listeners who, beyond power and precision, want to shape the character of their music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs on battery or mains and has a 172 x 160 x 30 mm chassis weighing 882 g, with a display on the top panel. It comes with a custom travel case, the SilentPower iPowerX power supply, USB-C cables and a Toslink optical adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDSD1024 remastering, K2HD and six digital filters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn FPGA programmed by iFi converts any file to very high-resolution DSD, up to DSD1024: processing so far reserved for mastering studios, which raises resolution and lowers distortion. JVCKENWOOD's K2HD technology, the result of 18 months of joint development, rebuilds natural harmonics beyond 22 kHz and brings the sound closer to that of the original master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese functions are joined by six selectable digital filters (Bit Perfect, Standard, Minimum, GTO, Apodising and Transient Aligned) and three fully analogue corrections: XBass II restores the bass that open-back headphones lack, XPresence adds presence to the midrange, XSpace widens the soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Burr-Brown DACs and 5,700 mW peak amplification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConversion uses four Burr-Brown DACs in a hybrid multi-bit configuration, mixing eight pairs of differential signals: the architecture comes from the Pro iDSD and is inspired by the Philips TDA1541A, with better low-level linearity. The analogue path sits on a dedicated board, kept apart from the digital components to reduce crosstalk. The Valkyrie plays PCM up to 768 kHz and native DSD up to DSD512.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4.4 mm headphone output reaches 13.5 V into 32 Ω (5,700 mW peak, measured with the method stated by iFi) and 19.6 V into 600 Ω; the 3.5 mm output reaches 2,475 mW into 32 Ω. Three power modes, Normal, Turbo and Nitro, match gain to the headphones, and xMEMS drivers are supported. Stated THD+N is 0.002%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBluetooth 5.4 aptX Lossless, digital inputs and 18 hours of battery life\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Qualcomm QCC518x chipset brings Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Lossless, the codec that carries CD-quality audio with no data loss at a maximum bitrate of 1,200 kbps; LDAC and LHDC\/HWA reach 24-bit\/96 kHz, and aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC and SBC are supported as well. The wired digital inputs are USB-C and coaxial and optical S\/PDIF, the analogue ones a balanced 4.4 mm and a 3.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour 5,000 mAh batteries, 20,000 mAh in total, power the Valkyrie free from mains interference and provide up to 18 hours of listening on a single charge. Charging supports Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 at 20 V.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ifi Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56504650957144,"sku":"IFIVALK","price":1817.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/4_890c911c-1018-4a58-9ddd-6fb992817902.webp?v=1767956086","url":"https:\/\/videosell.eu\/products\/ifi-audio-idsd-valkyrie","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
