The nano iDSD Black Label is for those who enjoy great music on-the go.

From your phone, amplify your Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal using an Apple CCK cable or OTG cable for Android.

At home or in the office, use the USB3.0 cable provided to connect to your PC.

Res’ing it up!

The nano iDSD Black Label plays Hi-Res audio up to DSD256
so you can enjoy your tunes in the original format just as the artists intended.

Getting into MQA The nano BL is MQA ready.  Use it with Tidal Masters on your computer or mobile.

The mighty nano

The nano iDSD Black Label is small but mighty with 10x more amplification power than an iPhone.

It can drive most headphones and has our iEMatch technology built-in, so it can work with In-Ear-Monitors (IEMs).

The in-built iFi iPurifier means it delivers clean, quality music with no buzz, no hiss and no fuss!

Brilliant balancing act

The iFi exclusive S-Balanced circuit provides all the benefits of balanced outputs such as low-noise and less distortion when used with headphones and IEMs fitted with balanced wiring.

For single-ended headphones, S-Balanced cuts crosstalk in half. The benefits are ‘clearly’ audible.

Listen. Measure.

Fancy getting technical? The nano BL has a Listen option (Minimum Phase Bezier Filter) and a Measure option (Linear Phase Transient-Aligned Filter) for those who like to try a variation to the playback.

We say just switch it on, plug in your device, and listen away.

There is no going wrong with 10 hours of battery life.

The Burr-Brown True Native® chipset means file formats remain unchanged. Listen to music as the artist intended in the format in which it was recorded.

Hi-Res True Native® playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384 and DXD384.

Listen to Master Quality Authenticated audio straight out of the box. Connect to Tidal Masters and check the option to stream MQA.

Our video tutorials on You Tube show you how.

iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced® circuit delivers maximum performance from single-ended and balanced headphones alike.

See our Tech Note to dig deeper.

This precise, analogue volume control is normally found on items at a much higher price point. Its transparent sonic nature delivers a smooth sound with no loss in music retrieval. It delivers the sonic goods.

Zero Jitter® equals good audio. Is it essential to have a very precisely buffered digital signal before it goes to a DAC.

We pushed the envelope even further by doing this not only with the nano iDSD BL\’s USB input, but the rest of the digital interfaces as well.

This unit has up to 10 hours of non-stop playing time. Always make sure you switch it on first and then plug in your device.

The DacMagic Plus has fantastic new features including wireless device connectivity and stunning audio performance from music of all formats. Thanks to twin DACs it instantly improves audio fidelity from all your favourite digital products allowing you to make your computer, TV, Blu-ray player and other devices a true part of your hi-fi system.

 PURE PROCESS

The DacMagic Plus works by taking a direct digital audio signal from your computer, TV or other device - bypassing their built-in digital to analogue converters.

This signal is then carefully analysed and upgraded using our ATF2 upsampling system. Once this process is complete, the DacMagic Plus outputs your music as a much purer analogue signal straight to your amplifier.

Custom developed by our dedicated team in the heart of London, DacMagic Plus is totally flexible and supports digital music of all formats. It even allows you to upgrade 24-bit music files stored on your PC for better-than-CD performance from your digital music collection.

Watch the video opposite to find out why our proprietary ATF2 upsampling technology makes such a difference to the sound produced by our DACs.

ARTSOUND VD-231 HDMI MALE TO VGA FEMALE CONVERTER ADAPTER CABLE This Adapter Cable supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p Full HD) including 720p and 1600 x 1200 for HDTV monitors or projectors. The gold-plated HDMI connectors provide wear and corrosion resistance to ensure a long lifespan. HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter Cable for PC Laptop HDTV Projectors and other HDMI Input Devices:
  • Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p Full HD) including 720p and 1600 x 1200 for HDTV monitors or projectors
  • Gold-plated HDMI connectors provide wear and corrosion resistance to ensure a long lifespan
  • With this version, we added a standby function to lower the energy consumption
  • On the past design of HDMI to VGA converters, if HDMI port was connected to the device, VGA port will keep working, now, we added an environmental friendly standby function to make sure when there are no signal outputs from VGA, convertor will be at a low energy consumption, in the meanwhile to produce less heats
  • Lower energy consumption, heat-reduced, extends the life of the product; after receiving customer’s feedback that the product will get overheated, we improved the operating current of the product to lower from 220mA to 120mA
  • More stable performance and not easy to skip the screen, we improved the design of chips, mainboard and circuit to make it more stable when transmitting signal

Bluetooth Receiver

  • Smartphones and tablet computers offer the possibility to stream music wirelessly with Bluetooth. Bluetooth Box E is the cost-effective solution to use these possibility in your own hifi system. Not only standard SBC codecs are supported, but also audiophile aptX with almost CD-quality can be received. Pairing of mobile devices with Bluetooth Box E is done fast and playback works reliably within a distance up to 10m with direct visibility. Up to 8 different smartphones and tablets are memorized. Analogue and digital connection to amplifier or external D/A converter is provided for ultimate flexibility.

Phono preamplifier with A/D converter and USB output

Record Box E: Pure vinyl listening pleasure plus recording functionality!
Record Box E is an high-quality phono preamplifier, that offers the possibility to convert your valuable vinyls into computer music data. Record Box E accepts both MM & MC cartridges and gives audiophile music experience at an entry level price. The integrated A/D converter operates with Windows and MAC operating systems and connects via USB to your computer. Therefore your valuable vinyl collection can be digitised, especially for use in portable music players. Advanced circuitry and SMD construction keep noise and distortion at a surprisingly low level. A built-in internal shielding and an outboard DC power supply leave no risk for external interference. Because of its small casing, Record Box E can be placed near the turntable. Input and output sockets are gold-plated for preservation of quality. Record Box E can be connected easily to a line-input (AUX etc) of your amplifier.
